We are excited to announce an improvement to the Explore page analytics!

The new, advanced analytics feature gives you more control over the visualization of your application’s performance, allowing for easier proactive troubleshooting and providing better insight into errors, bottlenecks, anomalies, and more.

With the new advanced options you can:

• View a count of requests and errors, and the sum, avg., max., min., and p95 of the duration of requests.
• Visualize the data over time, or by endpoint, resource name, execution tags, issue type, or service type.
• Choose how to group the data - by resource name, execution tags, endpoint, or HTTP status code.

• Easily pinpoint the conditions triggering the alert.
• Access historical data on alert occurrences and duration.
• Visualize metric values over time and identify threshold crossings.
• Track resource activity over time, including request volume and error rates.

These updates make it easier for users to quickly access the information they need to prioritize and troubleshoot issues. For more information on logs in Lumigo, check out the documentation. 

To set metric alerts, simply click alerts, then click on create a new alert, then click on the metric tab. From there, you can select the condition you want to be alerted about. For more information, check out the documentation. 

Webhook notifications allow you to send Lumigo notifications to your preferred applications each time a chosen alert is triggered, even if they aren’t on the list of supported applications.  

To integrate a webhook destination go to Settings > Integrations or follow the documentation.

We're thrilled to announce a makeover of our Live Tail page, designed to enhance your debugging experience, with a more user-friendly, efficient, and visually appealing interface. 

Here's what you can expect from the new Live Tail:

1. Autocomplete filter for simplified search: Say goodbye to multiple filters! With the autocomplete filter, finding specific requests or invocations has never been easier. 
2. Links open in new tabs: We understand the importance of preserving your workflow. Now, all links within the Live Tail page, including open channels and collected data, open in new tabs.
3. Direct link to Issue Details view: Quickly delve deeper into any issues you encounter with a direct link to the Issue Details view, where you can gain comprehensive insights into the root cause of problems.
4. Better and easier-to-use UI: Our new UI is thoughtfully crafted to provide a seamless user experience.

For further information refer to our documentation.

We're excited to announce an upgrade to Lumigo's Live Tail feature. Now, Live Tail supports container requests, offering real-time monitoring and troubleshooting for your containerized services, in addition to Lambda function invocations.

Live-Tail streams your requests and invocations and adds the much-required information such as exceptions and the payload of each request that are needed to troubleshoot containerized services easily in near real-time.  

Use Live-Tail for:

• Faster Debugging: Identify and resolve container-related issues with ease, reducing debugging time.
• Streamlined Development: Get quick feedback during development with real-time insights.
• Real-Time Troubleshooting: Access critical details like exceptions and request payloads for proactive issue resolution.

For further information refer to our documentation.

Container orchestration services, such as Kubernetes, have many types of constructs (e.g. objects in Kubernetes) for different functionalities. When something goes wrong, this can make troubleshooting difficult, as the same trace can be associated with many different constructs. 

To help solve this challenge, Lumigo has introduced the notion of service constructs that allow users to find traces associated with the different types of services and constructs easily. For further information refer to our documentation.

The (usually) fine-granularity of APIs exposed by Lambda functions, where one function deals with one type of event, is one of the exceptions in cloud computing; most APIs like HTTP, GRPC APIs, and other services expose multiple different functionalities, often with varying characteristics of performance, SLIs & SLOs, failure modes, and dependency graphs.

In our ongoing efforts to make troubleshooting containerized applications as easy as we made it with serverless, we are delighted to introduce the notion of Endpoints.

Endpoints describe the API of a service and give a detailed view of the operations exposed by the service. Lumigo uses default rules to automatically discover endpoints, which can then be seen on the platform and used for finding particular traces.

We are excited to announce Programmatic error support for Kubernetes and ECS workloads. Programmatic Errors empower developers to customize, monitor, and troubleshoot non-fatal errors that may occur within their applications. With Programmatic Error support (through OpenTelemetry), you can now flag issues that may not interfere with the overall service, such as business logic errors.

Programmatic errors are created by adding span events with a custom attribute with the key name 'lumigo.type'.

For example, in Javascript, you can add a programmatic error in the following manner:

const { trace } = require('@opentelemetry/api');

trace.getActiveSpan()?.addEvent('<error-message>', {'lumigo.type': '<error-type>'});

To learn more about Programmatic errors and troubleshooting microservices with Lumigo, check out our docs page, and our OpenTelemetry distros for Java, Node.js, and Python
