   GlitchTip—none0/10

   Evidence covers issue creation, teams/projects, CLI-based release tracking, and an MCP server for browsing individual errors, but there is no mention of cross-project/team dashboards, top-regression views, new-issues-per-release rollups, or volume-over-time charts. In fact one doc explicitly states GlitchTip avoids 'dashboard building and metrics hunting,' suggesting this kind of leadership-level trend dashboard is not a focus. missing for 10: cross-project/team aggregate dashboards, top-regression identification, new-issues-per-release reporting, volume-over-time visualizations.

Event search

1. developerSearch and filter events across projects by tag, release, environment, and custom properties with a real query syntax

   weight 2 · round to Rollbar
   Rollbar~partialclaimed5/10

   Rollbar docs confirm advanced search/filtering by properties (rollbar-gh-2), API item listing filtered by status/environment/level (rollbar-docs-15/35), and tag/version/environment tracking (rollbar-docs-6, rollbar-docs-20), but there is no evidence of a documented real query syntax (operators, boolean logic, cross-project search) comparable to a query language, nor of searching across multiple projects simultaneously. missing for 10: documented query syntax/operators, cross-project search capability, evidence of filtering by arbitrary custom properties beyond basic API params.

   GlitchTip—none0/10

   No evidence describes a search/query syntax for filtering events by tag, release, environment, or custom properties; documentation covers SDK integration, alerts, CLI releases, MCP server, and performance monitoring but not a query/search feature across projects.

Sourcemaps

1. developerUpload JavaScript source maps from CI — via CLI or bundler plugin — so production stack traces show my original source, not minified frames

   weight 3 · round drawn
   Rollbar~partialclaimed6/10

   Rollbar's docs confirm source map support: stack traces show original filename/line/method once source maps are provided, and JS minification requires supplying source maps (rollbar-docs-5, rollbar-docs-27). However, the evidence pack doesn't detail the specific CLI tool or bundler (webpack/vite) plugin, nor explicit CI upload workflow steps. Missing for 10: explicit CLI/bundler plugin documentation, CI pipeline integration examples, and independent confirmation that uploaded maps correctly de-minify traces in production.

   • [claimed-docs] “Stack traces will contain the original source filename, line number, method name, and code coordinates”

   GlitchTip~partialprobed6/10

   GlitchTip explicitly documents uploading source maps via its CLI (Beta) with debug ID injection for readable JS stack traces, and the CLI supports release/deploy tracking consistent with CI workflows. However, evidence for a dedicated bundler plugin (webpack/vite/rollup) is absent, the CLI feature is marked Beta, and there's no independent/community confirmation of source map upload working in practice. Missing for 10: bundler plugin support, CI pipeline examples, hands-on/community verification of accurate deminification.

Symbolication

   weight 2 · round to GlitchTip
   Rollbar—none0/10

   Rollbar's docs mention source maps for minified JavaScript (rollbar-docs-5/27) and broad platform support (rollbar-docs-1), but there is no evidence in this pack of dSYM, ProGuard, or native debug-symbol upload/symbolication features for iOS/Android crash reports.

   GlitchTip~partialclaimed6/10

   GlitchTip's CLI explicitly supports uploading native debug symbols (dSYM, PDB, ELF) via `glitchtip-cli debug-files upload`, directly addressing native/mobile symbolication, and its Sentry-SDK compatibility implies ProGuard mapping support could work similarly to Sentry. However, there is no explicit documentation or community confirmation of ProGuard mapping upload or Android/Java symbolication specifically, and no hands-on evidence of successful symbolication for mobile crashes. Missing for 10: explicit ProGuard/Android mapping upload docs, independent confirmation of successful mobile crash symbolication.

Issue trackers

1. developerLink an error to Jira, GitHub Issues, or Linear with two-way status sync, so fixing the ticket resolves the error and a regression reopens it

   weight 2 · round drawn
   Rollbar—none0/10

   Evidence only confirms Rollbar has some integration with JIRA, GitHub, and Slack (mentioned in passing in a security breach discussion about credential storage), but there is no documentation of two-way status sync where resolving a linked ticket resolves the Rollbar error and a regression reopens it, and Linear is never mentioned at all.

   Evidence shows only generic source-map based stack traces (file/line/method) and GitHub credentials used for unspecified 'third-party integrations,' but nothing about suspect-commit detection, code owner attribution, or deep-linking from a stack frame to the exact source line on a default branch in a connected repo.
