Integrate Sentry with Downtime Alert

Sentry

Sentry is an open-source application and web service monitoring platform. It is used for tracking and storing information about an application’s performance, such as errors and log files. It is implemented in Ruby and JavaScript and can run on Linux, OS X, and Windows systems.

Downtime Alert

Downtime Alert is a plugin that can be used with the PagerDuty incident management system to quickly notify users and support staff of downtime and other critical events. It can be configured to monitor a variety of different services and send notifications to affected users through multiple channels, including SMS messaging and email.

Integration of Sentry and Downtime Alert

• Sentry can be used as a log aggregator for Downtime Alert. In addition to sending notifications via email, it can also send them through Sentry. This allows users to view their alerts from a single place.
• Downtime Alert uses the Sentry npm package to quickly set up a connection between a server’s or application’s logs and Sentry. The package automatically detects the correct source code repository and makes it easy to send data to Sentry.

Benefits of Integration of Sentry and Downtime Alert

• Sentry receives data from Downtime Alert that allows it to generate metrics over time that show trends related to incidents that occur on particular servers or applications. These metrics allow you to determine which applications are running into problems more frequently than others. With this information, you can identify issues that affect certain servers or applications and work with developers to determine why they are occurring. If a problem begins to cause a lot of downtime, you can write a dashboard or create a graph that displays how often it occurs over a certain period of time. If the problem continues to occur frequently, it may be necessary to recreate the server or application to respve the issue permanently.
• Downtime Alert works with Sentry so that users do not have to go to multiple places to access information about incidents that occur on their servers or applications. This reduces the amount of time that is needed to respond to incidents by having all data in one place. Additionally, you can use some of Sentry’s metrics with Downtime Alert. For example, you can create an alert that sends an email notification when new bugs are created in your Git repository that is connected with Sentry.
