Change events

When on-call engineers respond to an issue, they need to understand what changed, where the change occurred, and when the change happened. These insights are critical to investigating and remediating issues when they arise.

Changes Explorer displays change events to create a comprehensive view of all changes in your environment. Each change event describes a change within your environment or Chronosphere Observability Platform tenant at a specific time so you can answer questions like When did a particular service deploy last? or Which alerts triggered in the last week?

Change events provide an additional layer of meaning. A specific set of changes might occur at the system level, but can be further differentiated by category, type, and source. For example, a system-level change can be categorized as a deploy, alert, or infrastructure event. Within a specific category, you can differentiate events. For example, within the infrastructure category, you can add a type such as network change, storage modification, or security update to distinguish these events.
