We’re currently focusing on decreasing the total number of errors our application throws into Sentry, and were wondering if there are plans to create a more detailed stats page that can be used to see the number of events/ we sent over a long period of time? It seems that the existing stats page only shows events over the prior week, and we’d be interested in seeing more long-term trends - has our aggregate number of bugs increased or decreased over the past month, couple months, etc. After that, being able to drill down and see long-term trends for a given event type would also be very useful.
Alternatively, if this can be accomplished somewhat easily via API, that would also be good to know.
The problem that I have with the current weekly reports and reporting in general for Sentry is that the numbers (e.g. 40% less events than previous week) do not correlate with how good we’re doing as a team - there can be a minor exception that is happening 2k times per day and then there’s one important exception that has a big impact on our business but it only happens once.
A more accurate reflection of how we’re doing would be the number of new distinct events (issues). We’d be able to say we have resolved 20% more bugs than in the previous week.
This way we can create alerts if project ‘important’ and environment ‘production’ starts to generate a lot of eventes, while for other projects and/or environments things are probably less worrysome.
