How to Set Up Error Alerts

Get an email when a specific server's error rate crosses a threshold you set. This is a per-server alert, separate from the instance-wide Error Tracking integration (Sentry or similar) — Error Tracking forwards every failure to an external provider's dashboard, while Error Alerts emails you directly when one server's error rate gets bad.

Steps

  1. Open the server and go to its Settings tab.

    Open the capture server to document Set Up Error Alerts

  2. Find Error alerts and enable it.

    Open the Settings tab, which contains the interface used by this procedure

    Enable Error alerts so threshold and notification fields become available

  3. Set the alert threshold — the error rate (1–100%) that triggers an email.

    Set the error-rate threshold that triggers alert delivery

  4. Enter the email address that should receive the alert.

    Enter the recipient email address for alert notifications

  5. Save.

    Frame the configured Error alerts panel with enabled state and completed form

Confirm it worked

If the server's recent error rate exceeds your threshold, the configured address receives an email the next time the alert check runs.

Good to know

  • This checks the server's own recent execution history, so it needs some traffic (successful or failing) to have a meaningful error rate to compare against.
  • Use this for "tell me if this one server starts failing a lot"; use Error Tracking for "send every failure across the instance to my monitoring dashboard."
