Make sense of application issues with Datadog Error Tracking

What's this blog post about?

Datadog has introduced Error Tracking to help developers make sense of errors and prioritize troubleshooting efforts. The feature automatically groups application errors into issues, allowing users to investigate more effectively and reduce the mean time to resolution. Error Tracking can be used with frontend JavaScript as well as Android applications and all languages supported by Datadog's distributed tracing and APM. It extracts error messages from RUM and APM data without requiring any additional SDK configuration or application code modification. The Error Tracking Explorer view provides a list of detected issues, along with important aggregates such as total error count and frequency over time. By grouping errors into issues and showing where they arise in the application source code, Error Tracking can help developers identify trends that may otherwise go unnoticed.
