Set email notification for HTTP 5XX errors reported in services

[hariu]

Hi. Our services are currently reporting lot of HTTP 5xx errors. I want to ne notified (via email) on every HTTP 5xx error reported (for every services).

I have tried setting up an alerting profile, but it is not working. Has anyone done this before? Is it possible to set an alerting profile to notify HTTP 5xx errors?

Hi,

If you only want a specific 5XX error codes, you can create a metric events.

And select correct metric and scope:

Or if you want errors in general, that is covered by failure rate increase. It means, set Severity Error in your alerting profile.

Best regards
