Best answer
Use Nerve with Sentry when new or regressed production issues should create a short encrypted phone alert. Keep stack traces, releases, ownership and issue history in Sentry.
Good Nerve alerts from Sentry
- New production issue in a critical service.
- Regression after deploy.
- Error rate spike on checkout, login, signup or billing.
- Unhandled exception in a background worker that blocks jobs.
Webhook bridge
Use a Sentry webhook or internal bridge to send a concise signal: project, environment, issue title, release and Sentry issue URL.
export NERVE_DSN="nerve://TOKEN:[email protected]"
printf 'Sentry issue: %s\nrelease=%s\n%s\n' "$ISSUE_TITLE" "$RELEASE" "$ISSUE_URL" \
| nerve send --severity critical --title "Sentry alert"
Boundary
Nerve is not an error tracker. It should not store stack traces, user data or large event payloads. Use it as the encrypted phone notification path and link back to Sentry.
