  The System Health dashboard lets the DevOps administrator view the overall health of integrations, connectivity status, as well as view trends of inbound event processing data.
• DevOps log levels
  DevOps log levels allow you to filter logs by level as well by a particular tool or application. Log levels in the DevOps application let you decide the extent of log detail you need for debugging.
• Common errors in DevOps Change Velocity
  Identify the root cause of errors that occur in DevOps Change Velocity, and see the corresponding steps that might resolve them.
• Retry errored inbound events
  Run base system or modified scheduled jobs to retry processing errored inbound events. Specify the exceptions or errors to retry events that are in an Error state.
• Customized lists
  Create customized lists for your List, Change, Tools, and Administration modules. You can create your own version of an existing list, or a new one.
• Cloning guidelines for DevOps Change Velocity
  Clone the DevOps Change Velocity application from one instance to another.
• Onboard a new tool using DevOps generic playbook
  DevOps Change has a pre-build playbook setup for users to configure a new tool. Custom tool integrations can be created using the guided playbook experience in the DevOps Change Workspace.
• Additional information for onboarding DevOps tools and apps using the Service catalog
  Use the onboarding catalog items as a self-service approach to onboard your DevOps tools and apps.
• Deleting a record in DevOps Change Velocity
  Cascade record deletion is implemented to delete all dependent lower level DevOps records whenever a parent or higher level DevOps entity is deleted. Confirmation popups ensure that you understand that data will be lost when you delete a record (for example, the record of a tool connection).
• Software Quality Results
  Software Quality Results display scan details from SonarQube scans configured on your GitHub Actions, Jenkins, Azure DevOps, or Harness pipelines.
• Check permissions and update credentials for tools — Workspace
  You can perform permission checks and update credentials like passwords and access tokens for your tools from the tool details page.
• Manual configuration mode in DevOps
  As an alternative to making a connection using the standard setup process, you can use manual configuration mode to set up a webhook manually.
• Configure webhooks from the tool record
  Configure webhooks from the tool record to send data to DevOps Change Velocity after your tool is connected.
• Test webhooks manually
  For tools including GitLab, Rally, Split.io, Jira, Bitbucket, and Argo CD, you have to test webhooks manually if there is any issue with the connection.
• Tool throttling
  In DevOps Change Velocity, when a tool is throttled, processing of new events is delayed until the throttling expires and the tool status changes to Throttled. This is available for Azure DevOps, GitHub, and GitLab.
• Inbound event table data archiving and cleanup
  Use table cleaners on the inbound events table to purge event data records beyond a specified period. Configure a retention policy with table rotation on the auto-flush form to manage table size growth and archiving data beyond the specified duration.
• Data archiving rules for DevOps tables
  Base system table archiving rules ensure that DevOps data stored in the Configuration Management Database (CMDB) are systematically archived and purged.
• Map spoke alias as parent alias for new DevOps tool
  Create Jira, GitHub or Jenkins tool with parent alias set to respective spoke alias instead of DevOps Basic authentication. Use a script include to reset parent alias to spoke alias for existing or onboarded tool.
• Delete orphan connection and credential aliases
  Delete the connection and credential aliases that do not label any connection or credential record by running a background script. This helps you in freeing up space in your system.
• DevOps Retry Policy
  Enable the DevOps Custom HTTP Retry Policy for most tool communication from ServiceNow flows to automatically retry failed requests when a step encounters an intermittent issue, such as a network failure or request rate limit.
• Commits and task executions in DevOps
  Run commits in DevOps are associated to a task execution.
• Associating multiple work items to a commit in DevOps
  Multiple work items for a commit are supported in DevOps for Azure DevOps, Bitbucket, GitHub, and GitLab.
• Filter ignorable DevOps events
  Filter out ignorable DevOps events before they trigger a Flow execution to improve performance.
• Disable recommendation prompts
  Disable the prompts recommending the use of DevOps Change Workspace from appearing while creating tools and applications using Classic UI, Service Catalog, Service Portal, and Employee Service Center.
• Domain separation and DevOps Change Velocity
  Domain separation is unsupported for DevOps Change Velocity. Domain separation enables you to separate data, processes, and administrative tasks into logical groupings called domains. You can control several aspects of this separation, including which users can see and access data.
