Overview

Knowing when specific deployments are performing a rollback is useful to:

• Understand deployment stability and the frequency of rollbacks across your services.
• Identify patterns in deployment issues that lead to rollbacks.

To detect rollbacks, Datadog compares the current deployment version with the previous versions deployed for the same service and environment. A rollback is identified when both of the following occur:

• The current version is different from the previous version. This ensures that redeploying the same version does not constitute a rollback.
• The current version matches a version that was previously deployed.

You can search for rollback deployments in Deployment Executions, using the @deployment.is_rollback tag:

You can also see more detailed information in the event detail:

Requirements

Rollback detection works for deployments that have all of the following:

• A service (@deployment.service)
• An environment (@deployment.env)
• A version identifier (@deployment.version)

Version for CI-based providers

For CI-based providers, Datadog uses the --revision parameter that you pass to the datadog ci command. This parameter should contain the version identifier for your deployment (such as a commit SHA, image tag, or version number).

Version for Argo CD

For Argo CD deployments, Datadog uses the revision value to detect rollbacks. Note that when using Argo CD’s revert functionality, a new revision is created, which means Datadog won’t detect it as a rollback. To properly track rollbacks in Datadog with Argo CD, you need to redeploy using an older revision.
