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.
