We've added Heroku Fir support.
By pointing Heroku Fir's telemetry drain to our collector we report the following:
For more information, see the Heroku Fir sections in our Heroku documentation.
AppSignal supports OpenTelemetry trace data. It's now possible to set up performance alerting for traces.
In a trace summary view, click the "Add new" link in the "Triggers" box.
In the opened "New trigger" modal, configure the alerting, select your preferred notifier, and save the trigger.
It is possible to configure alerting on the mean response time of requests, and the 90th and 90th percentile of the response time. Use a warm-up to only be alerted if this continues for as long as the warm-up is configured.
Now, AppSignal will alert you about new slow actions.
Note: This only works for our OpenTelemetry tracing feature.
AppSignal supports more Vercel drains: Speed Insights and OpenTelemetry traces.
Vercel Drains provide support for Web Vitals through the Speed Insights drain, like First Contentful Paint and Largest Contentful Paint. These metrics can serve as signals for delivering great user experience on the web. When Speed Insights metrics are detected, we will automatically create a "Web Vitals" dashboard for your application.
Report traces from Vercel's infrastructure to get more insights into how all parts of your application are performing. This works with our OpenTelemetry tracing feature and will report errors and performance data from your application and Vercel infrastructure (Vercel functions and edge network).
For more information, see these documentation pages:
Added a new chart type for dashboards: the number chart. The number chart displays a number on the dashboard instead of a line graph. Useful when a single value gives enough information at a glance.
The chart supports multiple ways of calculating the metric data for the timeframe selected, such as:
To add a number chart, go to your application in AppSignal, create or open a dashboard, click "Add chart", and select "Number" in the sidebar.
Allow the use of app-level push API keys. When an app-level push API key is used, the resource attributes for the name and environment should not be specified. These resource attributes are now optional, although the use of one requires the other.
Make most resource attributes optional. Allow for the resource attributes pertaining the revision, the hostname, the language integration and the application path to not be present. This allows the AppSignal collector to more easily ingest data from arbitrary OpenTelemetry sources.
Note that usage of these resource attributes is still recommended. Traces sent without these attributes may be tagged with the wrong hostname or revision, or have their error backtraces parsed incorrectly.
This release can be installed through our collector packages and Docker image.

Disable the error backend by default
With new ways of instrumenting errors added, the error backend is unneeded in most setups. Disable it by default to make it opt-in.

Report LiveComponent traces and events separately from LiveView traces and events.
Traces in AppSignal representing updates and event handlers in components will no longer be represented as calls to the view in which the component is mounted, and their events will be part of the live_component group.
This makes it possible to obtain performance measurements for each component individually, instead of grouped by the view that mounts the component.
Group samples for calls to handle_event/3 in LiveView and LiveComponent by the event that is being handled.
