Migrating from Issues to Monitors Issues Page

The legacy Issues page is being deprecated in favor of a fully customizable, monitor-based experience that gives you more control over what constitutes an issue in your environment.

While the new page introduces powerful capabilities, no core functionality is being removed, the key change is that the old auto-created issue rules will no longer be automatically generated. Instead, you’ll define your own monitors, or choose from a rich catalog of prebuilt ones.

All the existing issues in the legacy page can be easily added to the monitors via the Monitors Catalog's "Started Pack". See Getting Started below for more info.

Why migrate to the new Issues experience?

The new Issues page is built on top of the Monitors engine, enabling deeper customization and automation:

  1. Define what qualifies as an issue

    Use filters in monitor definitions to include or exclude workloads, namespaces, HTTP status codes, clusters, and more tailor it to your context.

  2. Silence issues with precision

    Silence issues based on any label, such as status_code, cluster, or workload, to reduce noise and keep focus.

  3. Clean, scoped issue view

    Only see issues relevant to your environment, based on your configured monitors and silencing rules, no clutter.

  4. Get alerted on new issues

    Trigger alerts through your preferred integrations (Slack, PagerDuty, Webhooks, etc.) when a new issue is detected.

  5. Define custom issues using all your data

    Build monitors using metrics, traces, logs, and events, and correlate them to uncover complex problems.

  6. Manage everything as code

    Use Terraform to manage monitors and issues at scale, ensuring consistency and auditability.
