AI AGENTS

Stage remediation steps from a Sentry error spike for human approval

When Sentry flags a new high-volume issue, an agent pulls the stack trace plus correlated Datadog metrics, drafts a ranked remediation plan.

How it runs

The automated pipeline, trigger to output.

  • TriggerSentry issue crosses event-rate thresholdSentrySentry
  • ActionFetch full issue, stack trace, and releaseSentrySentry
  • ActionPull correlated Datadog metrics and deploy markersDatadogDatadog
  • LogicRank remediations, drop options with no rollback
  • OutputPost staged plan to Slack with Approve/RejectSlack

What it does

Turns a noisy Sentry alert into a concrete, reviewable action plan. The agent reads the failing issue, enriches it with host and service metrics from Datadog, and proposes the most likely fixes (rollback, feature-flag kill, config revert) ranked by confidence. Nothing executes — every step waits in Slack for a human to approve.

When to use it

Use it for production services where a single Sentry issue can spike to thousands of events fast and your on-call rotation needs a starting point at 3am, not a blank incident channel. Best when you want speed of triage without giving an agent unsupervised write access to prod.

How it works

  1. 1A Sentry issue alert fires when an issue crosses an event-rate threshold.
  2. 2The agent fetches the full issue: stack trace, release, affected users, and breadcrumb timeline.
  3. 3It queries Datadog for the matching service's error rate, latency, and recent deploy markers around the spike window.
  4. 4Decision logic ranks candidate remediations and filters out any that lack a safe rollback path.
  5. 5The staged plan posts to the on-call Slack channel with Approve and Reject actions and a link back to the Sentry issue.

Set it up

What you configure once, before turning it on.

  1. 1
    Connect SentryErrors, performance, releases.
  2. 2
    Connect DatadogMetrics, traces, log search.
  3. 3
    Connect SlackChannels, DMs, threads, mentions.
  4. 4
    Set each agent's modelWe leave models unset so you pick the tier — fast + cheap, or top-quality.
  5. 5
    Tune it to your dataEdit the prompts, filters, and field mappings so it matches how your team works.
  6. 6
    Test, then turn it onRun once against a sample, confirm the output, then enable the trigger.
