Activities

In this section, you will find how to check information about your Applications or Shared Infra activities.

In the Activities section, you can check information about the activities on your Application or Infrastructure. These activities can be:

• Workflows;
• Actions;
• Deploy;
• Rollback;
• Destroy;
• Infrastructure changes.

To view the activities performed in the repository of your Application that was deployed via the pipeline or Self-hosted**, you need to configure a Webhook inside GitHub that allows these activities to be registered on the StackSpot EDP platform. Follow the steps below to set this up:

warning

If you deployed using the StackSpot Runtime Engine, you can automatically view your Application's activities on the StackSpot EDP platform. In this case, you don't need to configure the Webhook.

However, the deployment configuration flow in StackSpot is available only for:

1. Enterprise accounts created before 2024;
2. Personal accounts.

Enterprise accounts created from January 2024 must perform deployments via Runtime Self-hosted.
