August 2019 Summaries

Rollbar has released version 1.8.1 of rollbar-ios, extending its crash monitoring capabilities to macOS alongside iOS, allowing users to monitor, triage, and debug crashes and errors on both platforms. The update brings real-time crash notifications, advanced fingerprinting technology to group similar crashes, and comprehensive debugging data, such as stack traces, telemetry metadata, user impact, app versions, and runtime environment details. The Rollbar CocoaPod now functions as a universal pod for both iOS and macOS, simplifying integration through multiple methods, including CocoaPods, static libraries, and frameworks, all compatible with simulators. Additionally, new configuration options for transmitting and logging payloads enhance the development and testing experience.

In the final installment of a series on error handling in Angular 7, the tutorial focuses on tracking errors using the errorHandler class and Rollbar. It builds on previous parts where readers learned to handle client-side and HTTP errors using tools such as errorHandlers, Interceptors, and RxJS operators. This segment specifically guides users on how to monitor these errors within a remote tracking environment, offering a comprehensive approach to error management in Angular 7 applications. For further details, readers are encouraged to visit the full tutorial.

Rollbar has introduced a new integration with Azure DevOps, allowing developers to create and resolve Work Items directly from Rollbar, thereby streamlining error monitoring and debugging processes. This integration is part of Rollbar's broader strategy to enhance its toolkit within the Microsoft ecosystem, alongside features like Azure Active Directory integration. By enabling the creation of Work Items directly from Rollbar, developers can maintain workflow efficiency and "stay in flow," with automatic state changes and rule-based actions for managing Work Items. The integration facilitates faster triage and debugging by providing key Rollbar Item details in Azure DevOps without the need for manual data entry or switching between tools. For additional information about setting up and utilizing this integration, users are encouraged to consult the detailed integration guide provided by Rollbar.
