Item Summarization

An overview of item summarization fields.

Item summarization enhances the Item Detail page with summary data that helps users understand the data within the occurrences that make up an item. Custom data included within occurrences is also summarized.

Within the new Summary tab, we show the top 3 values for each supported parameter, along with the concentration of each value. This summarization includes custom data that users have sent. In the Details section, for each individual occurrence, we show how typical each supported value is across all the occurrences within the item.

Summary - Default Fields

By default, some fields are summarized automatically. The fields that go automatically in the summary vary based on the available data in the payload sent to Rollbar, but here is a list of some of the summarized fields:

os.family os.version browser.family browser.version device.brand device.model scm.code_version scm.branch context environment framework language server.cpu server.host server.root server.pid person.id person.username person.email platform request.url request.method request.query_string request.body request.user_ip notifier.name notifier.version

Custom Summarization

For custom data to be summarized, they must be sent under the custom key.

Here is an example in Ruby:

def alert notifier = Rollbar.scope({ :person => {:id => 8891, :username => "John Doe", :email => "John.Doe@emaildomain.com"}, :tote => 12345, # this will not be included in the summarization tab :account_sid => '123', # this will not be included in the summarization tab :custom => { :test => '444', :try => '12345'} # this will be included in the summarization tab }) notifier.critical("Invalid account type: please contact support") end
