Monitor them by segment. Not averages. By customer tier, by region, by device, by release. The bug that breaks your biggest customer doesn't show up in aggregate metrics.
Is this possible with Sentry alerts without doing it manually?

the setup in this case is mainly manual, you the one who is able to tell what the "money moments" in your app are. Based on them, you can then found the best features in Sentry to monitor it

It’s not about money moments, it’s about monitoring by segment. The blog post implies you can set alerts within groups, e.g., if average latency > 1s grouped by customer tier.

monitoring by segment is not a feature in sentry per se.
see as a way to use Sentry, how to tag events so you can better classify your data
and them create alerts or workflows based on them
there is no step by step guide

just create a new alert manually every time you make a release? this is what you're saying the blog post implies. that or the post is misleading
i'm not sure if i need to rephrase, but the blog post implies that the best way to monitor is to do something that sentry doesn't have as a feature. maybe just an llm-ism
regal shuttle
it is not talking about one single feature, other way of seeing is on what you need to look for when setting up Sentry features, from SDK to alerting

thanks. perhaps i should create a feature request to be able to create alerts grouped on tags to be able to monitor by segments?
