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.

Monitor error spikes in Telegram

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.

emit error.spike

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 Telegram

Message a person, group, or channel through a connected bot.

01
connect a bot
Create a bot with @BotFather and paste its token. We register the webhook and verify it in-region.
02
start a chat
Send /start to the bot from the target chat — or add it to the group/channel — then pick the chat from the list.
03
format the text
Messages use MarkdownV2; the default template bolds the event name and lists fields. Reserved characters in field values are escaped for you.

notes

Telegram caps a bot at roughly 30 messages per second overall, and one per second to a single chat.
The bot must be added to a group — and promoted to admin for a channel — before it can post.
MarkdownV2 requires escaping characters like _ * [ ] ( ); ingestlayer escapes field values, but custom templates are your responsibility.
