I have an alert that I set to include

The event's level is
greater than or equal to
error

but I still see events where the level tag is set to warning.

How do I write the filter to only have events that are level error or higher?

Hey Johny. It may depend on the language, but it sounds like it might be a numeric filter on a string based match. For testing, rather than setting to "greater than", could you try setting it to equals? Are you trying to select multiple "level" tag values?

Hi Kyle,

That's what the filter looks like in your UI. The options when filtering by level match the options in https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-javascript/blob/develop/packages/core/src/types-hoist/severity.ts

Sorry, could you confirm for me, is this on the alert creation page? Any chance I could see a bit more of that screen shot?
