Summary

Rollbar has introduced an AI-powered root cause analysis (RCA) tool designed to streamline the debugging process for production errors by providing a probable root-cause write-up based on stack traces, item context, recent deploys, and telemetry. Available to all Rollbar accounts on Essentials or Advanced plans, users receive a monthly credit allowance—4,000 for Essentials and 8,000 for Advanced—which can be used for RCA runs, with the option to purchase additional credits if needed. RCA is intended to assist users in identifying the likely cause of an error, pointing them to relevant code areas, and reducing the time spent on initial error exploration, especially in unfamiliar codebases or complex issues. It is not a replacement for debugging but an aid to expedite the initial phase of error investigation. Rollbar plans to expand this workflow with a feature called Rollbar Resolve, currently in closed alpha, which will work towards suggesting tested code fixes as pull requests. Users are encouraged to try the RCA tool on current debugging tasks and provide feedback to help refine the feature.
