@Garyl Paras we trust the environment information GitLab provides. They've got some info in their docs which clarify the heuristic they use.

Hey Stevo, thanks for calling this out. * Correct, we kept the custom field types very basic. Our thinking was that scorecards are the place where policy should be captured. If you define a list in custom field config then that fragments that policy into two places. We still need to add the ability to set a scorecard…

Not via REST unfortunately, accessing custom fields requires using our GraphQL API. updateComponent is what you're after. There's obviously a tradeoff between GraphQL and REST in terms of efficiency/power vs simplicity — does using GraphQL work for your situation, or is it important to have a REST API? Yes, there was a…

Hey Garyl, Thank you for trying out Compass and for sharing your feedback, we hugely appreciate it. Metric list view: This is currently on our minds so it's great to get some direct customer feedback on the topic. Metrics have been a very successful feature with our customers, which is leading to the kinds of scrolling…

Hi Tony, we recently increased the limit for each link type from 5 to 10; let me know if that change hasn't worked for you though. Can you tell me a bit more about the application/monolith model spread out over multiple repos that you're describing? My initial reaction was that those would be best modelled as seperate…

Cheers @Jan-Hendrik Spieth! We really appreciate the quality feedback. Working backwards, I think your conclusion that screen customisation is going to be a big help is definitely true. We think that customisation is something we'll want to offer, although it's not yet certain when we'll be ready to do that. On the…

This is something we definitely want Compass to solve for customers. When Log4Shell hit we saw that as a clear example — every CTO immediately needed to know which of their systems were impacted and track how quickly they were able to upgrade. But even when there's not an urgent vulnerability, it's exactly as you describe.…

Very soon! It's dropping in about three weeks. What are you planning to use custom fields + scorecards for? Always keen to hear more. :D

While the full GitLab integration offers a richer set of features, you can still use Compass with some restrictions. It's possible to link repositories on component pages, plus you can augment to your deployment scripts so they send events to Compass components using our REST API. Metrics are also possible via API, but not…

@Valentyn Serdiuk we're currently trialling a higher limit of dependencies (200) for one customer — would you be interested in being included in this trial? — Andrew

Hi Aviya, To delete a component, use the … menu on the overview page. To delete a team, navigate to the team you want to delete then "Edit team profile" and finally, delete the team from the … menu.

Did I say "mid June" for stage 2? Doubtful, I'm quite certain I said "early July". ;) But last week we shipped the full config experience and here's @shafqat with a cracker demo of Compass Custom Fields! Cast off the onerous yoke of curl! (Unless you prefer it, in which case, keep hauling that yoke!)

Hi Mircea, Compass has a few options which might be suitable here. * Labels — you could set a label with the name of your project on each of the components related to it. You're then able to assign Scorecards to labels, which would let you define policy at the project level. * The "Other" component (or maybe "Application"…

Hi Gary, First up — thanks for your interest in Compass and for asking after our compliance situation. Always love getting somebody new looking at the product. :) Great news! We're already certified for both SOC2 and ISO 27001! Upon checking we've realised that we don't appear in the "Relevant products" sections on…

Hi Valentyn, We don't have any plans to make the dependency limit user configurable, but we can certainly consider adjusting it if it's inhibiting customers from succeeding with Compass. Can you tell me a little more about how your components are set up? I notice you mentioned "functions" — are you referring to serverless…

Hi Andy, From the REST API docs, did the event source setup work and return you an EVENT_SOURCE_ID? (Also, this is for Jenkins deployments, right? The example suggests using an event type of CUSTOM but you're better off using DEPLOYMENT in this case.) — Andrew

Hi Andrew — we're actually trying to get the docs for REST access deployed right now. Once they get the right approval and the build runs they should appear at https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/compass/components/send-events-using-REST-API/ (We've got a docs build happening in ~20 mins so fingers crossed we make it in…

Hi Brian, You've got me to thank for the lack of documentation around when to use each type. 😬 Not because I don't want to help! Just because we wanted to know how our users felt about different component types before we started making recommendations and influencing opinions. I think Max's model looks very reasonable. My…

G'day Steffen, This is a topic we're very interested in — we'd love to chat with you about how Compass can make it simple for you to work with external dependencies. Dave & Josh tell me they've had a chance to catch up with you previously, we'd love to discuss this topic over Zoom as well. In short, we agree! Dependencies…

No problem at all — this tells me that we can make improvements to our docs, so really glad you reached out.

Hi Steffen, Thanks for sharing your experience with our environments model. Our intent is to filter based on the environment type, not the name — exactly as you're describing actually. There could be a bug here that you've run into so hopefully we can reproduce it. If I set up a quick test and add three prod environments…

Hi @Luke Machowski — we've still got your Miro example front and centre for how customers use visual tools for understanding their systems! How have you been finding Compass? I'd love to know what's been working for you and where the gaps are so if you've got the time then yeah, always keen to have a chat; calendly link to…

New feature improvements, labels! * We've adopted the colourful label design from Team Central — snazzy! * Label autocomplete so you can be sure you're using the same spelling everywearhere. * And search by label now works! Use labels to capture aliases or anything else that leads you to the right component. As an alpha…
