I’m exploring the Observability features available in Vercel and was wondering if there’s a way to set up alerts based on specific metrics. For example, I’d like to configure an alert if the error rate for a function exceeds 10% over the past hour.
Is there any built-in functionality in Vercel to achieve this, or would I need to integrate a third-party monitoring tool like Datadog or New Relic for such alerts? If anyone has insights or experience with this, I’d greatly appreciate your guidance.
Unfortunately, we do not provide an alert system at this time. To achieve this workflow, you need to configure a third-party Logdrains where you can set up alerts based on status codes, error thresholds, and many other metrics.
Are you aware of any platform which are compatible with Vercel to read those observability metrics and help us in setting up these alerts? Or is there any other way you can suggest us for these alerts?
Any modern logdrain tool such as Sentry, Datadog, New Relic should allow you to configure this. You need to refer to the specific documentation of their product to learn more about this.
