Monitor error spikes in Discord
Turn a sudden burst of one error into a single, classified alert — production only, severity already decided — instead of a wall of duplicate noise.

the event
You emit error.spike with this shape. The TypeScript SDK keeps the call type-safe, and the event is stored whole — so every field below is available to the pipeline by name.

emit it
From your code with the TypeScript SDK — or any language over the REST endpoint and signed webhook ingress.
import { ingest } from "@ingestlayer/sdk";
await ingest("error.spike", {
service: "checkout",
error: err.name,
count: windowCount,
window: "5m",
env: process.env.NODE_ENV,
});route it to Discord
Send rich embeds to a channel via a connected bot or a channel webhook.
- 01
connect the bot
Add the ingestlayer bot to your server, or paste a channel webhook URL. Either credential is held in-region.
- 02
choose the channel
Select the target channel from the picker. Each connected channel is one reusable destination row.
- 03
shape the embed
The default embed carries the event name as its title and the payload as name/value fields; override with $event.* references.
┌─ #ops ─────────────────────────────────┐ │ ▎ payment.failed │ │ ▎ customer acme-inc │ │ ▎ amount €240.00 │ │ ▎ reason insufficient_funds │ │ ▎ attempt 2 │ └─────────────────────────────────────────┘
notes
- Channel webhooks are limited to about 30 messages per minute; sustained volume should use the bot connection instead.
- An embed allows at most 25 fields and 6000 total characters; larger events are summarized.
- Mentions (@everyone, @role) are suppressed by default — opt in per pipeline if you actually want a ping.
questions
- Can staging stay out of the on-call channel?
- Filter on env so only production spikes page anyone; staging can route to a quieter place or nowhere.
- How is severity decided?
- classify weighs the error class and count against your prompt and returns a typed severity the pipeline branches on.
- Will one bad minute spam the channel?
- You emit one spike event per window, so a burst is summarized as a count rather than streamed error by error.
