Error rate spike alerts you when the share of failed requests goes above a percentage you set. Use it as an early warning that something is broken — a misconfigured client, an outage at a provider, or a bad deploy on your end.

When to use it

  • Catching elevated failure rates before users start complaining.
  • Knowing when an integration is silently failing in the background.
  • Tracking provider-side issues without watching dashboards.
This alert needs enough traffic for the percentage to be meaningful — very low-volume accounts may not see it fire often.

What you configure

Organization scope is available if your role can see organization-level traffic.

How you’re notified

Email and/or SMS, based on your preferences in Settings → Notifications. See the alerts overview for delivery details and cooldown behavior.
