How we start every morning with fixed bugs from an Ona Sentry Automation
Blog post from Ona
Ona has developed an automation solution to address the issue of noisy Sentry alerts, which create alert fatigue and financial costs due to increased event volume. This automation, known as Ona Automation, automatically triages Sentry issues, makes small code fixes, and prepares pull requests (PRs) for review, allowing engineers to focus on product backlog rather than managing monitoring noise. By running every morning, the automation helps maintain a clean Sentry dashboard, reducing direct costs and improving operational efficiency by keeping alerts actionable. The system is designed to be incremental, addressing issues daily to prevent accumulation, and is built as an Ona skill, allowing for manual or scheduled use within secure environments. The approach not only saves costs but also ensures sustainable on-call rotations and cleaner alerts, making it beneficial for both small teams and enterprise organizations facing similar challenges with alert noise.
