Better, faster, less wrong: Enhancing issue grouping

Sentry’s job is to tell you when your app breaks. To do that, we group individual errors into issues.

Your Monitoring Stack Wasn't Designed. It Was Procured.

The 2am war room hasn’t gone anywhere. Ten years after Gartner coined the term AIOps, the platforms are bought, the licenses are renewed, the dashboards are live — and serious incidents still get resolved by engineers paging across multiple consoles, trying to work out where the fire actually is. MTTR has barely moved. Alert fatigue hasn’t eased. The outcomes the category promised, in most enterprises, have not arrived. Matt Lowe’s recent article on AIOps names the shortfall well.

How to Troubleshoot High CPU Usage on Network Devices

Most network teams only find out their firewall is overloaded after users start complaining. A slow VPN, dropped calls, and random packet loss at 2 pm every day. The usual suspects get blamed first: the ISP, the switch, the application server. The firewall gets a pass because the dashboard says 40% CPU and everything looks fine.
