Tracked Workspaces: Infrastructure Lifecycle Visibility
Finally Know What's Deployed Where (and When to Update It)
Tracked Workspaces gives you real-time visibility into your infrastructure deployments across all environments. Stop playing infrastructure archaeology and start managing deployments with confidence.
Live Infrastructure Status
The Problem: Infrastructure Blindness
Answer these questions right now without checking:
Which version of your core networking module is running in production?
How long has your European infrastructure been waiting for updates?
Which of your 50+ deployments are running with known issues?
Can you prove what infrastructure configuration was active on March 15th?
If you're scrambling for answers, you need Tracked Workspaces.
Stop playing infrastructure archaeology and start managing with confidence.
Application Performance Monitoring for Infrastructure Code
Just as APM transformed application management, Tracked Workspaces transforms infrastructure management by providing complete lifecycle visibility.
Real-Time Infrastructure Intelligence
Every release, every change, every version update tracked automatically. Move from asking "What's deployed where?" to knowing instantly.
Immutable Audit Trail
Every workspace change creates an immutable revision with complete context: who, when, what packages, and full version history.
Cross-Organization Visibility
See your entire infrastructure estate from one dashboard, regardless of how it's organized across teams or clients.
How It Works
Three simple steps to complete infrastructure visibility
Create Tracked Workspace
Create a workspace in the IPMHub portal and copy the Association ID.
Link Local Workspace
Add the Association ID to your local ipmhub.json configuration file.
Automatic Tracking Begins
Every ipm sync, ipm add, or workspace change creates a new revision automatically.
Example Configuration
"workingFolder": "packages",
"workspaceName": "Production Environment",
"associations": ["4baf8889sdfsdf"],
"packages": []
}
Key Features
Revision Tracking
Every change creates a new revision with complete context:
- Package additions, removals, upgrades, downgrades
- Local workspace name changes
- Full diff between versions
- Timestamp and user attribution
Workspace Synchronization Monitoring
Track every sync operation:
- When workspaces were last synchronized
- Which packages were updated
- Sync success/failure status
- Time since last activity
Multi-Association Support
Single local workspace can be associated with multiple tracked workspaces:
"associations": [
"client-a-production",
"client-a-staging",
"internal-development"
]
}
Complete Audit Logs
Detailed logging of all workspace operations:
- User actions and timestamps
- Package version changes
- Sync operations and results
- Clear timeline of a workspace
Dashboard Views
Multiple perspectives on your infrastructure lifecycle
Timeline View
Visual representation of workspace evolution over time:
- Revision markers showing major changes
- Package addition/removal indicators
- Version upgrade paths
- User activity patterns
Package Status View
Current state of all packages in the workspace:
- Active versions across all tracked workspaces
- Available updates
- Last sync timestamps
Revision Detail View
Deep dive into any specific revision:

Integration Capabilities
Workspace Version Control
Track infrastructure package versions independently from your Git repos:
- See exactly which package versions are deployed where
- Track who updated workspaces and when
- Maintain deployment history separate from code history
Real-Time Dashboard
Monitor workspace health at a glance:
- Last sync timestamps across all workspaces
- Package version status and drift detection
- Revision history and change tracking
Compliance and Governance
Regulatory Compliance
Tracked Workspaces provide evidence required for various compliance frameworks:
- SOC 2: Complete audit trail of infrastructure changes
- PCI DSS: Prove infrastructure configuration at any point in time
- ISO 27001: Infrastructure change management documentation
Audit Preparation
Transform audit preparation from weeks of archaeology to hours of report generation:
- Point-in-time infrastructure state reconstruction
- Complete change history with user attribution
- Package version compliance across environments
- Audit trails for compliance frameworks
