Hi Team,

Really looking forward to using this feature on our platform - and ideally a set of Alerts we can the push to some external web-hooks. The feature appears to be removed from the UI. Aware this is in open beta so just checking on timelines for it returning?

Thanks!

Are there any limitations or requisites to enable this? If I log into Sentry and navigate to https://[company].sentry.io/alerts/new/uptime , enter all the details and when I then hit the Create Alert button I get a 404 back from the POST to https://us.sentry.io/api/0/projects/[company]/[whatever project I'm in]/uptime/

We have tow envs. But this alert is created automatically and sent notification to our PROD Slack channel, while pointing that DEV was downtime. In the configuration of the automatically created alert I see no option to change environment. And if I try to change url from http to https, for example, it din't save the change.

I need to have two separate alerts - one for PROD and one for DEV env. Didn't find how to do this configuration.

Is there any simple way to exclude these events from the Discover events, as they spam it during my quiet times.

I do this for AWS ELB health checks by having a custom traces sampler in the python sentry_sdk checking for user_agent ELB-HealthChecker/2.0 and ignoring which I could also add SentryUptimeBot/1.0, but is there a better way to do this using a built in x-header which is always ignored by the sdk?

For smaller plans, this does not seem to be an option, as these uptime requests seem to be counted 1:1 towards the transaction/performance-unit quota.
Are there any plans to change this, or to allow a higher interval (e.g. once per hour)?

Looks quite interesting. As soon as you have any indicators for pricing, please let us know!

Also, do you plan to have uptime checks performed from different data centers around the world? We would be particularly interested in Asia and China...

The feature is neat. Is there a way to configure the interval? It currently polls every second. I couldn't find such an option.

I love Sentry, but the design of this feature seems really weird.

The main building block is an alert?

Generally how other uptime monitoring solutions work, is that you create the monitor with all it's details (URL, response checks, IPv6/IPv4, regions, etc) and you can then (optionally) tie alerts to those monitors.

But all uptime monitors doesn't have alerts tied to them, and also the criteria may differ. So e.g. you might want to run the monitor from 5 regions but only alert if its down from more than 3 at the same time.

It's also important with data insight, i.e. you need to be able to see for at least the past 24 hours or so what responses you are getting back.

I don't know if I've misunderstood how Sentry has designed it, but to me it looks like they haven't even looked at any of the myriad of existing tools for this (BetterUptime, Cronitor, Pingdom, Uptimerobot, etc).

Can you provide instructions for how to see the performance over time of a given monitor? eg if I've set it to check api.mycompany.com/v1/health, how can I see the average response time / uptime / geographic split? I'd love to migrate from Pingdom to Sentry for this.

(public) Status pages soon? 👀

Is the uptime monitor feature available on self-hosted sentry, if not

1. is there any other way we can do this in sentry self-hosted ?
2. When can we expect this feature to be released for self-hosted ?

@gaprl Any plans in the pipeline for scheduled maintenance windows?

I would love to have this metric in the dashboard and be able to use it to report the availability of our services to our clients (ie. be able to get the availability for a specific period of time)

Ability to add header is handy. I could adapt my WAF rules to allow traffic based on a custom header and value

Can I configure alerting via the terraform provider? I'm not seeing docs for this.

This feature is really annoying for servers that are set up to auto-stop when there is no network activity [0].
When i was setting up sentry I didn't expect it to make requests to my service at all.

Can you make this opt-in instead of opt-out? Or least ask for blanket user consent before sending network requests against their services?

We like the monitoring function. But there is no indication of how much this feature costs, except on the announcement page. An entry on the subscription page would be helpful.
Additionally, we would appreciate it if the current monitoring result could also be seen on the project details page. After all, you also connect the monitoring to a project

Can we have ipv4 / ipv6 checks? Just had an issue with ipv6 not working and all my monitoring said its fine, as only IPv4 was tested...
