Enhancement: Configuration Hub - activity log and deployment draft view

:bangbang: You can now track and view the detailed configuration changes with Deployment Draft view and easily identify Partially Completed configuration deployments!

We have implemented various enhancements to the Activity Log page to enable better visibility & tracking of the deployed configurations with longer retention of deployed logs and drafts, and ability to access the detailed draft configuration after deployment.

What is the Problem?

Viewing historical deployment logs was limited, and there was no option to view the actual draft configuration with all the detailed changes of each object after it was deployed.
In addition, activity logs of partially successful deployments were marked as failed, although, some of the configuration objects were actually deployed to the target tenant.

What is the Solution?

The following enhancements were added to the Configuration Hub Activity Log feature:

  • Adding pagination to the Activity Log list with default page size 50.
  • Removing the limit of historical drafts and activity logs for configuration deployments (was 20).
  • Adding a column for Draft Name.
  • View details of Deployed Draft from the Activity Log.
  • New status for “Partially Complete” deployment, where some of the objects failed to be deployed and some succeeded.
  • Deleting the draft json file from S3 when the user is deleting a draft from the Draft list.
  • Improved performance of the logs retrieval.
  • Fixed the order of the historical drafts that are listed.

Activity log can have one of these deployment statuses:

  • Failed - all of the configuration objects in the deployed drafts failed to deploy.
  • Complete - all of the configuration objects in the deployed drafts were successfully deployed.
  • Partially Complete (new!) - some of the objects failed to be deployed and some succeeded.

Within the View option, you can view two tabs with information about the deployment:

  • Deployment Log: Provides a summary of the results with the status for each of the deployed configuration object.
  • Deployment Draft: Provides details of the Draft configuration with all the objects that were submitted for deployment.

Important Dates

Rollout to staging during the week of March 18th.
Rollout to Production tenants during the week of March 25th.
