Overlay and enable change events

When investigating issues, on-call engineers can enable and overlay change events on dashboards, traces, and services. This additional context helps correlate events with system and service anomalies in real-time, allowing for quicker identification of incident cause.

Change events can also display in the Query Results for individual monitors. When on-call engineers click links in Observability Platform notifications, they’re directed to the Monitors page for the related alert. On-call engineers can display change events for a monitor using predefined filter configurations, or define queries using advanced filtering to display the events they want to visualize. This capability helps to determine issues before the alert triggered, such as code deploy and audit log events.

On-call engineers can also create change events from Chronosphere Observability Platform or with the Chronosphere API. This feature lets on-call engineers create relevant change events, such as a broadcast to inform other users of upcoming maintenance, or create third-party change events in addition to the predefined change event categories.
