Keeping your monitoring setup in check is no small task. With constantly changing, things can go wrong quickly if you don't know what's been updated. That's why we built Composer's Version Control feature to give you peace of mind and a faster way to find, compare, and restore configuration changes whenever you need to.
Configurations are like the DNA of your monitoring system. Any slight change can significantly impact sometimes good, sometimes not so much. Without a way to track these changes, troubleshooting becomes a guessing game. Composer takes the guesswork out by letting you view backups, compare versions, and see precisely what's changed. That means less downtime, fewer surprises, and faster recovery when things don't go as planned.
What Can Composer's Version Control Do for You?
1. Backup Version
When you open the Version List screen, you'll see a full list of all available backups for your selected environment. Each version includes the timestamp, backup type, and composer units used, so you know exactly what you're working with. No more digging through files or second-guessing which version to check.
2. Compare Versions to Pinpoint Changes
Imagine something goes wrong after a recent update maybe a dashboard isn't loading, or performance drops. With Composer, you don’t need to panic. Just pick two backups and run a comparison.The report includes both Schemes and Endpoints, highlighting what's different between the two versions.
For example, dashboard configurations have changed, with precise details on the differences in unit counts. This level of visibility can save you hours of troubleshooting time. Knowing where things changed means quickly rolling back or fixing only what's necessary.
We know that good tools need good documentation. Composer includes straightforward guides to help you get the most out of the version control feature. The interface is designed to be intuitive, but it's all right there if you ever need extra guidance.
Composer's version control takes the stress out of managing complex environments. Knowing that you can always track, compare, and restore configurations when needed gives you confidence.
