How Termina records production changes over time.

Change history provides a continuous, verifiable record of how production evolved.
It answers a simple question: what changed, when, and as a result of what.

This history is derived from observed state changes, not manual entries.

What Counts as a Change

A change is any detected difference between two points in time.

Changes may include:

• Deployments

• Configuration updates

• Infrastructure modifications

• Runtime state shifts

Only changes that affect an environment are recorded.

How Changes Are Recorded

Termina builds change history by comparing snapshots over time.

Each change is:

• Time-stamped

• Linked to the affected service and environment

• Associated with source systems when available

This creates a chronological, auditable sequence of production evolution.

Correlation and Accuracy

When multiple systems report related updates, Termina correlates them into a single change.

This avoids:

• Duplicate entries

• Conflicting timelines

• Incomplete explanations

The goal is one change, one cause.

Using Change History

Teams use change history to:

• Investigate incidents

• Understand deployment impact

• Review production activity

• Validate expected behavior

It replaces fragmented logs and manual timelines.

Why Change History Matters

Without a reliable change record, production issues rely on guesswork.

Change history provides:

• Accountability

• Context

• Confidence in what actually happened
