This video by u/MattAllford demonstrates the Insights feature in Octopus Deploy. This feature provides automatic delivery metrics derived directly from existing deployment data without requiring additional tools or configuration. Insights enables teams to track deployment performance over time, supporting data-driven decisions to improve DevOps processes by measuring key metrics such as deployment frequency, lead time, failure rate, mean time to recovery, and deployment duration.

The video showcases demo.octopus.com (our demo instance) to show how all users' insights are available at the project level. It highlights the Octopet Shop project dashboard, where metrics aligned with DORA standards are displayed. Users can filter metrics by environment, adjust date ranges, and observe trend indicators with color-coded sentiment and arrows showing positive or negative directions. Each metric can be expanded to reveal detailed data and links to specific releases.

For Enterprise customers, the video covers space-level insights that are accessible from the Insights tab. It explains the creation of custom reports scoped to project groups, projects, channels, and grouped environments. The overview allows splitting metrics by project or environment across the entire space, facilitating comparative analysis among teams and environments such as development, staging, and production.

This feature benefits teams by providing measurable, actionable insights into deployment performance, enabling continuous improvement based on real data rather than assumptions.
