Deployment Markers

Deployment markers are indicators used to mark the exact point in time when a deployment or release occurs. These markers provide a visual reference, allowing teams to correlate deployments with system behavior changes.

Adding deployment markers to Explore​

To integrate deployments markers with Explore, use the API endpoint to create markers.

Below is an example payload:

{
  "markers": [
    {
      "description": "marker description",
      "title": "marker title",
      "tag": "DEPLOYMENT",
      "timestamp": 1613311091679,
      "metadata": {
        "region": "us-east-1",
        "deployedBy": "bot"
      }
    }
  ]
}

Viewing deployment markers​

Deployment logs sent via the API will appear as deployment markers in Explore. You can find them in the Visualize menu.

Open Visualize > Deployment markers to view all markers within your selected time frame. Toggle markers on or off to focus on the most relevant ones for your analysis.

add-deployment-marker

Once added, deployment markers will be displayed across your histogram. Hover over a marker to view additional details such as its title, timestamp, and description.

tip

Include the service name in the title field when sending deployment marker logs for easier identification.

Viewing additional details in the marker logs​

Certain fields in deployment logs sent via the API, such as additional metadata fields, are not displayed in the standard view.

To retrieve marker logs, run the query _exists_: __logzio_marker_title. Switch to the JSON log view to access the additional details and context available for your deployment markers.
