Migrating from Sleuth to Koalr
Everything Sleuth does — DORA dashboards, deploy tracking, Slack alerts — plus deployment risk prediction, AI-powered analysis, and test coverage. Up and running in under 30 minutes.
What You Get Instead
Every Sleuth feature, mapped to its Koalr equivalent — and what you gain.
Same webhook-based deploy tracking. Adds a 0–100 risk score on every PR before it ships, with the top contributing signals explained.
Deployment frequency, lead time, change failure rate, and MTTR — identical to what you have today. Plus a deployment risk trend that predicts failures before they happen.
Deploy notifications and incident alerts via Slack. Adds weekly AI-generated team summaries and natural language answers to ad-hoc questions.
PR throughput, review time, cycle time — all present. Ask Koalr in plain English: "Which service had the highest change failure rate last month?" and get an instant answer.
Migration Steps
No data import required. Koalr reads directly from your GitHub history, Jira, and deploy webhooks.
Install the Koalr GitHub App. Koalr immediately begins backfilling 90 days of PR and deploy history.
Authorize via OAuth. Issue-to-PR linkage is automatic once connected — no manual mapping.
Replace your Sleuth webhook URL with Koalr's deploy endpoint. Same payload format is supported. Test with a dry-run deploy.
When your next PR opens, Koalr calculates the risk score and posts it as a GitHub Check. No further configuration needed.

Common Migration Questions
Do I lose historical data when I switch?
No. Koalr backfills 90 days of GitHub PR and deploy history automatically on connect. Your DORA trends will be populated from day one.
Can I run both in parallel during migration?
Yes — Koalr's deploy webhook is additive. You can send deploy events to both Sleuth and Koalr simultaneously until you're confident in the transition.
Does Koalr support the same deploy webhook payload format?
Koalr accepts GitHub deployment events natively and also accepts custom webhook payloads in both Sleuth-compatible and Koalr-native formats. Our team can help configure this on the migration call.
How quickly will I see the risk scores?
Risk scores appear on the next PR opened after you connect GitHub. The model begins with general weights and improves as it learns your team's specific deployment history.
