SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Confirming that a code fix actually resolved a production error is error-prone: teams often mark Sentry issues resolved based on merged code or local tests rather than observed production behavior, leading to premature closures and missed regressions.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Release Confirmation: Checks that the release containing the fix is actually present in Sentry before drawing conclusions.
  • Baseline Comparison: Compares post-release event counts and affected users against the pre-release baseline for the target issue.
  • Evidence-Based Verdicts: Reports one of fixed, improving, unchanged, regressed, or insufficient traffic, and only changes issue state when the user requests it and evidence is adequate.
  • Use Case: After deploying a hotfix for a crash, ask the agent to verify the Sentry issue over a 24-hour observation window and report whether error volume actually dropped.

Quick Start

Verify whether the fix in release 1.4.2 resolved Sentry issue PROJ-123 by comparing events over the past 24 hours against the previous week.

FAQPage Schema
How do I verify a Sentry issue is fixed after deployment?

Confirm the release containing your fix appears in Sentry, then compare post-release event counts and affected users against the pre-release baseline over a defined observation window. Only mark the issue resolved when the evidence supports it.

How to compare error events before and after a Sentry release?

Record the target issue, release, environment, and observation window first. Then measure post-release events and affected users against the pre-release baseline to classify the outcome as fixed, improving, unchanged, regressed, or insufficient traffic.

Should I resolve a Sentry issue right after merging the fix?

No. Merged code, local tests, and deployed releases are separate milestones from observed production behavior. Resolve the issue only when post-release monitoring data confirms the fix and you have explicitly requested the state change.

What if there is not enough traffic to verify a fix?

When post-release traffic is too low to draw conclusions, the correct verdict is insufficient traffic rather than fixed. Extend the observation window or wait for more events before changing the issue state.

Why does a Sentry issue still show events after the fix release?

Events may come from older releases still running in production, or the fix may be incomplete. Confirm the new release is actually deployed and compare event trends to determine whether the issue is improving, unchanged, or regressed.
