Error Spike Alert — Webhook Template for Devops
Webhook
Error monitoring detects a spike — AI analyzes the stack trace, searches for known fixes, and creates a Jira ticket.
Template Error Spike Alert bundles a ready-to-deploy workspace for devops workflows.
Install in one click from the Aerostack dashboard or via aerostack init --template=error-spike-alert.
What It Does
Turn error spikes into actionable incident tickets automatically. When your error monitoring tool (Sentry, Datadog, etc.) detects a spike, this webhook analyzes the stack trace, searches for known issues, creates a Jira ticket with full context, and alerts your on-call engineer on Slack.
From alert to ticket to engineer — in seconds, not minutes.
How It Works
- Error monitoring fires a webhook when error rate exceeds your threshold
- AI analysis — reads the stack trace, identifies the service, error type, and probable root cause
- Known issue search — checks Jira for similar past issues and their resolutions
- Ticket + alert — creates a Jira ticket with full context and alerts the on-call engineer on Slack
Example Scenario
Sentry detects a 5x spike in "ConnectionRefusedError" from your payment service. Within 15 seconds: Jira ticket created with the stack trace, affected endpoint, and a note "Similar to INFRA-234 from last month — resolved by restarting the connection pool." On-call gets a Slack DM with the summary and ticket link.
Triggers
- Custom webhook from Sentry, Datadog, PagerDuty, or any monitoring tool
- Payload should include: error message, stack trace, error count, and affected service
psychology System Prompt
The instructions that define how this webhook behaves. It ships pre-configured — edit it anytime in your workspace.
You are an incident response agent. When an error spike alert arrives, analyze the error message and stack trace. Identify the affected service, error type, and likely root cause. Search for known issues that match this error pattern. Create a Jira ticket with: title, severity (based on error count and affected users), full stack trace, and any known solutions found. Alert the on-call engineer on Slack with a concise summary.
