💡 Streamline ops with alerts and on-call in Compass

We’re rolling out operations features in Compass. Consolidate monitoring, on-call management, and alert response in Compass where you already track and collaborate on software components. That means no more “hide-and-seek” with critical information across tools, teams, and services immediately available when you receive an alert in the middle of the night:

• Reduce spend: Alerts and on-call are included in the Compass Standard plan so you don’t need to purchase an additional product for these features

• Make alert investigation easier: Find the info you need faster and see all recent changes and events in the activity feed

These features are now available to the majority of Compass sites and we plan to announce full General Availability (GA) to all Compass customers in the coming months. Learn more here.

🗓️ Compass Events API is easier than ever

We’re making it easier to send any and all events into Compass so you can see all relevant software component activity at a glance. Our API now optionally allows you to specify a componentId and Compass will automatically create and attach an event source. This greatly simplifies the steps for sending an event:

1. 🔓 Get an API token

2. 🆔 Get a component ID

3. 💻 Drop a curl command/script into a job or workflow
