Don’t Be Alarmed by Alerts

Sentry's new Metric Alerts feature allows developers to monitor the overall health of their applications by setting alerts on the frequency of any subset of events. This helps in identifying potential issues and root-causing problems quickly. Users can filter on event tags or attributes, set separate warning and critical thresholds, send notifications to email and Slack, view active and resolved alerts, and jump from an alert into a curated Discover view for quick analysis. Metric Alerts also provide visibility into error patterns, helping teams eliminate redundant issues. The feature is expected to be extended in the near future with additional capabilities.
