How to correlate errors with deployments with your AI

Connect Honeybadger to your AI client to stop guessing which release broke your app. Your agent cross-references deployment timestamps with error spikes to find the culprit.

Short answer

How can I tell if a new deployment caused my current errors?

Your AI pulls your recent deployment history and compares it against the timing of new error spikes in Honeybadger. This identifies the specific release responsible for the regression. You get a clear link between code changes and broken features.

The outcomes.

Where your insights land.

The AI organizes the data into these specific outcomes.

IDENTIFIED

Root cause found

The AI matches error timestamps to deployment events. You see exactly which version introduced the fault.

TRIAGED

Error severity sorted

The AI looks at the frequency and type of faults. You get a prioritized list of what to fix first.

HUMAN

Manual review needed

The AI flags complex errors that don't clearly align with a deployment. You decide if these are new bugs or environmental issues.

REPORTED

Summary ready

The AI compiles a list of all new errors since the last successful deployment. You can use this to brief your team.

The workflow

What your AI does when the error spike arrives.

The AI acts as a bridge between your deployment logs and your error monitoring.

  1. Fetch deployment history

    The AI pulls a list of all recent code changes and releases from your account.

    list_deployments

  2. Identify recent faults

    The AI scans for new errors that appeared in the system.

    list_faults

  3. Analyze specific errors

    The AI digs into the details of a specific error to understand its context.

    get_fault

  4. Correlate and report

    The AI compares the timing of the faults against the deployment list to find the overlap.

    list_deploymentslist_faults

  • Did the deployment to the production environment yesterday cause the spike in errors?

  • Compare the last three deployments in my Honeybadger account with any new faults that appeared.

  • Check the error logs for the 'api-gateway' service and see if they match the latest release.

  • List all new faults from the last hour and tell me if any happened right after a deployment.

FAQ

How this task behaves.

  • 01

    Can the AI fix the bugs for me?

    No. The AI identifies which deployment caused the error, but you must manually push the fix or rollback.

  • 02

    Can the AI delete old error logs?

    No. The AI only has permission to read deployment and fault data. It cannot modify or delete your Honeybadger records.

  • 03

    Does it work with all my Honeybadger projects?

    Yes, once connected, your AI can access the deployment and fault data across your configured projects.

  • 04

    How does it know which deployment is which?

    It uses the deployment history provided by Honeybadger to match timestamps against error occurrences.

  • 05

    Can the AI trigger a rollback?

    No. The AI is a read-only observer for these specific tasks. It provides the evidence you need to perform a rollback yourself.
