Overview
In an automated process, a failure may occur only for a particular type of request. Capturing an error with technical context and a link to the version helps investigate the case without manually reproducing every action. However, filter client data and secrets before sending them to monitoring, and decide who receives an alert for each type of issue.
Features
- Collect errors with SDKs for different languages and platforms
- Track performance and associate errors with versions
- Connect to work tools such as GitHub and Jira
Business uses
