Rollbar now runs Resolve by itself: a new error can become a fix PR with no one starting it

ai-debuggingagent-automationautomated-prerror-trackingapideveloper-tools
◆Current state
Agent Automation, released in September, lets teams set rules so a matching error triggers root cause analysis and then Resolve, which opens a pull request for review. Rollbar can post the result to Slack, and a merged fix resolves the item. October's work is plumbing around that loop: personal API tokens, item history and comments through the API, Metrics API queries across all projects, and faster Analyze queries. Analyze is now included in every Advanced and Enterprise plan.
◆Where it's heading
The error-to-fix loop has moved from human-started to rule-started, with humans kept at the merge step. The API work supports the same direction: automated checks can now read an item's history and write comments on it. Personal tokens scoped to what a user can reach also suit scripts and agents better than shared account tokens. Bundling Analyze removes an add-on from the top plans.
◆Prediction
Resolve adoption will depend on how often rule-triggered PRs get merged, so expect finer rule controls and reporting on those runs. Rule history pages with CSV export are an early sign.

    Analyze RQL queries now run faster

    Common Analyze queries move to the fast path, with one catch: select * now returns a fixed set of columns, so body fields must be named. It also fixes auto-resolve firing on unfinished or failed deploys, which matters more as resolution gets automated.

    Personal API tokens & Item History in the API

    Personal access tokens limit a script to what its owner can do, and item history and comments open up through the API. Together they give automated checks a place to record findings on the item itself.

    You can now query the Metrics API across all your projects in one call

    The Metrics API drops its five-project limit and Analyze becomes part of every Enterprise plan, ending the add-on. Query access is widening just as more of the workflow runs without a person.

    Rollbar can now run Resolve for you

    Agent Automation runs root cause analysis and Resolve whenever an item matches a rule, with the PR left for human review. It takes the error-to-fix loop from something a developer starts to something a rule starts.

    Terraform API Access with Your Account Token, Plus Smarter AI Controls

    Terraform provider 1.18.0 lets a single account token drive all project-level resources, removing the per-project token juggle that made Terraform-managed Rollbar configurations brittle. The admin AI-disable switch addresses enterprise governance requirements that were blocking broader deployment.

    Resolve now writes the PR that fixes your errors

    ⚡ SPARK

    Resolve's public beta ships the completion of the error-to-fix loop: it reads the stack trace, the RCA, and your codebase, applies a fix in an ephemeral environment, runs your tests, and opens a PR — human review is the last step, not the first.
