New Relic + Sentry: Unified Observability Automation

Bring together performance metrics and error tracking so your team can detect, diagnose, and resolve issues faster.

What You Can Automate

Automatically correlate New Relic performance alerts with Sentry error spikes during incidents

Enrich Sentry issues with New Relic distributed trace links for faster debugging

Generate unified post-deployment health reports combining Apdex scores and error counts

Why Combine New Relic and Sentry?

New Relic and Sentry each address a critical slice of application health. New Relic gives you deep visibility into system performance, infrastructure metrics, distributed traces, and service-level indicators. Sentry captures unhandled exceptions, stack traces, and release-specific error trends directly from your application code. Together they cover the full spectrum from infrastructure to code, but switching between two dashboards slows incident response and creates blind spots.

Neotask bridges this gap by letting you build automated workflows that pull signals from both platforms and act on them in a coordinated way.

What Neotask Enables

With Neotask connecting New Relic and Sentry, your team can automate the repetitive, time-sensitive tasks that occur during incidents and routine operations:

• Correlated alerting: When New Relic detects a spike in error rate or latency, Neotask can immediately query Sentry to surface the matching exceptions and affected releases, then post a consolidated summary to Slack or PagerDuty.
• Automatic issue triage: Neotask can create or update Sentry issues with relevant New Relic trace IDs, making it faster for engineers to jump from a Sentry error to the full distributed trace.
• Release health checks: After a deployment, Neotask can monitor both New Relic Apdex scores and Sentry error volumes simultaneously, flagging regressions before they escalate.
• Incident enrichment: On-call engineers get a single briefing that includes New Relic service maps, throughput deltas, and Sentry's list of new or regressed errors introduced in the latest release.
• Scheduled reporting: Neotask can compile weekly reliability reports that pull error counts from Sentry and performance baselines from New Relic into a single digest.

Faster Root Cause Analysis

One of the biggest time sinks in incident response is manually correlating data from multiple tools. An engineer sees a New Relic alert, opens Sentry in another tab, searches for errors in the same time window, then tries to match them to a specific commit or release. Neotask automates that correlation loop.

When a New Relic threshold is breached, a Neotask workflow can:

1. Fetch the affected service name and time range from New Relic
2. Query Sentry for errors in that service during the same window
3. Identify the release or commit most likely responsible
4. Notify the right team with all context already assembled

This turns a 15-minute investigation into a 30-second automated summary.

Continuous Improvement Loop

Beyond incident response, pairing New Relic and Sentry through Neotask supports a continuous improvement cycle. Teams can track how error rates trend across releases, correlate performance regressions with specific code changes, and automatically open follow-up tasks when recurring errors exceed a threshold. The result is a tighter feedback loop between shipping code and understanding its real-world impact.

Pro Tips

Tip

Reduce mean time to resolution by eliminating manual cross-tool correlation during incidents

Tip

Give on-call engineers full context in one place instead of juggling multiple dashboards

Tip

Catch release regressions earlier by monitoring performance and error signals together
