Notifications / Project health

Email me when the project itself looks unhealthy.

Use Project > Settings > Notifications > Project health alerts for project-wide volume, latency, and monitor problems.

Settings

These settings look across the project.

SettingWhat it means in the projectDefault
Project-wide error spikeEmail when total error volume across the project crosses the count and time window you choose.Off, 100 events in 15 minutes
Project p95 latencyEmail when recent transaction latency is above the millisecond limit you choose.Off, 1,000 ms
Check-in monitorsEmail when scheduled work is missed, then again when it recovers.On

Project-wide error spike is not the same as the single-error volume threshold. This setting is about the whole project becoming noisy, even if no single grouped issue crosses its own threshold.

Verify

Health alerts are not always instant.

These alerts are evaluated in the background, so expect a short delay. To test, temporarily lower the threshold, generate matching activity, and wait for the project health email instead of refreshing the settings page immediately.

Troubleshooting

Make sure the project-level condition actually happened.

SymptomWhat to check
No spike alertThe total project error count may not have crossed the threshold in the selected window.
No latency alertTransactions may be missing durations, or p95 may still be below the configured millisecond limit.
No missed monitor alertThe check-in may not have an expected interval, or the monitor sweep may not have run yet.
Only one group is noisyUse Error triage alerts for a single grouped issue; this page is for the whole project.

Keep Sidekiq running for the sweeps that evaluate health alerts.
