Build a Deployment Tracking Dashboard with LogBlazer

Deployments are high-stakes moments. Something ships, environments flip, pipelines run — and if anything goes sideways, you want to know immediately, not ten minutes later from a Slack message. A good deployment dashboard gives you exactly that: a clear, real-time view of what deployed, where, and whether it worked. This post walks through what that looks like and how to set one up with LogBlazer.

What Makes a Good Deployment Dashboard

A deployment dashboard is not just a log dump. It should answer three questions at a glance:

Did the pipeline succeed? Build, test, and deploy steps should each have a clear pass/fail status.

Which environments are up? Production, staging, dev — each environment is its own concern and should be tracked independently.

What changed, and when? A filterable log of deployment events lets you trace exactly what happened and in what order.

Multi-environment tracking is especially important. A failure in dev is expected. A failure in production is a crisis. Your dashboard needs to make that distinction obvious, not buried in a wall of text.

Filterable Logs Matter More Than You Think

The ability to filter by status — success, failure, warning, notice — changes how you interact with a dashboard under pressure. When a deployment fails, you do not want to scroll. You want to click "Failure" and see exactly what broke. That filter is the difference between a useful tool and a noisy one.

Setting Up Deployment Logging with LogBlazer

LogBlazer uses a single API endpoint. You POST a log entry with a source, status, and payload — and it shows up in your dashboard. No agents, no SDKs, no config files. Here is what a deployment pipeline integration looks like in practice:

# After running tests curl -s -X POST "https://app.logblazer.com/api/logs/YOUR_API_KEY" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{"source":"deploy-pipeline","status":"SUCCESS","payload":"Pipeline complete for mycompany/my-app. Tests: 89 passed (267 assertions)"}'

# After deploying to staging curl -s -X POST "https://app.logblazer.com/api/logs/YOUR_API_KEY" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{"source":"deploy-pipeline","status":"NOTICE","payload":"Deploying staging.mycompany.com - version 2.4.1"}'

# On deployment failure curl -s -X POST "https://app.logblazer.com/api/logs/YOUR_API_KEY" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{"source":"deploy-pipeline","status":"FAILURE","payload":"Pipeline failed: dev deployment for mycompany/my-app - exit code 1"}'

You can drop these calls anywhere in your CI script — GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, a plain shell script, whatever you use. The source field lets you group all deployment events together. The status drives the color coding and filtering in the dashboard.

Organizing by Source

If you run multiple services or repositories, use distinct source names to keep things legible. deploy-pipeline, backend-deploy, frontend-deploy — whatever maps to how you think about your system. LogBlazer shows source as a column in the log table, so it is easy to scan.

Monitors: At-a-Glance Status for Every Environment

Beyond the log table, LogBlazer supports monitor widgets — small status cards that sit at the top of your dashboard and show the current state of whatever you care about. A typical deployment setup might look like this:

Pipeline — SUCCEEDED

Tests — PASSED

app.mycompany.com — DEPLOYED

staging.mycompany.com — DEPLOYED

dev.mycompany.com — DEPLOYED

Each monitor reflects the latest status posted for that source or check. When a deployment goes out successfully, the monitor flips green. When it fails, it flips red. You do not have to interpret anything — the state is right there.

Monitors are particularly useful for shared dashboards. LogBlazer supports public dashboards, which means you can share a link with your team — or anyone else who needs visibility — without requiring them to log in. A single URL that shows real-time deployment state across all your environments.

Putting It Together

A deployment tracking dashboard does not need to be complicated. It needs to be accurate and fast to read. LogBlazer gives you the log storage, the filtering, and the monitor widgets to build exactly that — in about ten minutes, with nothing more than a few curl calls in your pipeline script. If your deployments have been a bit of a black box, this is a low-effort way to fix that.
