Following our recent updates on faster item search and searching within custom data fields, we’re excited to announce another major improvement: nearly all standard data fields within Rollbar are now indexed and searchable!
What's new?
- 50+ additional fields are now available for search, expanding the ways you can filter and analyze your data.
- Previously unsearchable fields, like host, are now fully indexed, resolving past limitations.
- Faster and more accurate search performance, building on our recent enhancements.
- Custom fields remain fully searchable, allowing for even greater flexibility.
With these updates, you can search using a wider range of fields, get more precise results, and experience faster response times.
Newly Searchable Fields & Key Highlights
The full list of available search fields can be found in our Searchable Fields Documentation — newly indexed fields are marked there with an asterisk (*).
A few key additions include:
- UUID – Search for a specific item by its unique identifier.
- message_body & request_body – Find errors based on detailed message content.
Additionally, when you apply a search, the statistics on the Item List page (such as count, unique IPs, and trends over time) now reflect only the occurrences that match your search criteria. Previously, these statistics counted all occurrences within matching items, making results less precise.
Unlocking New Use Cases
With expanded search capabilities, improved speed, and enhanced accuracy, several highly requested use cases are now easier to achieve:
- Find the top errors affecting a specific URL or route name
- Filter errors based on custom data
- Run searches across thousands of projects and billions of occurrences—with results in just seconds
- Track your progress to Rollbar Zero by counting the number of unique Rollbar items
Next Steps
