Alerts are now available in the first draft of Sentry's beta release. Alerts trigger when a project's global events per minute exceed the defined threshold, which is calculated using median absolute deviation (MAD) and allows for setting a minimum threshold. The threshold itself is a percentage that measures acceleration from the previous time period to the current. Alerts are currently not sending out email notifications, but users can access their alert settings in their project's notification settings, where they can adjust the threshold and minimum events. Sentry plans to eventually provide intelligent alerts with quick iterations on design, and encourages feedback for improvement.
