Monitors & Alerts — Now Generally Available

Sentry alerts is splitting into two features — Monitors and Alerts — giving you more control over what you track and how your team gets notified. Monitors define what to watch — span attributes, logs, custom metrics, and more. When a threshold is breached, Sentry creates an issue in your stream automatically. Crons and Uptime now live here too.

Alerts define who gets notified and how — Slack, email, PagerDuty, and more. One alert rule can cover multiple monitors across projects, so you can change routing without touching your monitor config.

What this gets you:

• Not every breach deserves a page. Now you can define what your team tracks separately from who gets alerted.
• Every breach creates a trackable issue with context.
• Change who gets paged without touching what's being monitored, and vice versa.

Existing Metric Alerts have been migrated as Metric Monitors and your alert rules are intact, scoped to routing.
