The Scenario
You are a reliability engineer. Production readiness review is in four days. The senior architect wants a complete list of every alert rule across all eight Sentry projects — conditions, thresholds, and assigned teams — before the review. The goal: find duplicate alerts and find projects that have no alerts at all.
Nobody has ever exported this before. The alert rules live scattered across eight project settings pages inside Sentry.
The slow version:
- Open Sentry, navigate to Alerts for project one
- Read each rule, copy the name, conditions, and threshold into a Google Sheet
- Switch to project two, repeat
- Repeat for all eight projects
- Try to identify duplicates by eye across sixty rows
- You spend two mornings on this and still have three projects left.
The fast version is one prompt.
The Easy Way: One Prompt in SheetXAI
SheetXAI reads every alert rule across all your projects and writes them into the sheet, so you do not have to open eight project settings pages.
Open the SheetXAI sidebar and type:
List all Sentry metric alert rules for organization 'my-org' and write each rule's name, project, trigger threshold, comparison type, and status into this sheet, one row per rule. Add a header row.
SheetXAI calls the Sentry alert rules API, iterates across all projects, and writes every metric alert rule into the sheet. Then repeat for issue alert rules:
List all Sentry issue alert rules for organization 'my-org' and append each rule's name, project, conditions, actions, and frequency into the same sheet below the metric rules. Add a section header row to separate them.
The architect has the complete alert inventory before the review.
What You Get
A two-section sheet: metric alert rules on top, issue alert rules below:
- Rule name — the human-readable name you set in Sentry
- Project — which project it belongs to
- Threshold or conditions — what triggers the alert
- Status — active, disabled, or draft
Sort by project, then by rule name, and duplicate rules across projects become visible immediately. A filter on the conditions column surfaces rules with identical triggers pointed at different projects, which is the most common source of alert noise.
What If the Data Is Not Quite Ready
Alert audits always surface findings that require a different cut of the same data.
When alert rule names are not standardized
Your team has been adding rules for two years and the naming is inconsistent. Some rules are named by symptom ("High Error Rate"), some by feature ("Checkout Failures"), some by person ("Dave's Rule from 2024").
List all Sentry metric alert rules for 'my-org'. Write rule name, project, and threshold into columns A through C. In column D, write 'standardized' if the rule name follows the pattern 'Verb + Noun + context' (e.g. 'High Error Rate — backend-api'), otherwise write 'non-standard'. Sort non-standard to the top.
When you need to see which projects have no alert rules at all
A project with zero alerts is a production risk.
List all Sentry projects in 'my-org' and all metric alert rules. For each project, write the project name and the count of alert rules assigned to it. Write 'no alerts' in column C if the count is zero. Sort by count ascending so projects with no alerts appear first.
When you only need the rules that are currently disabled
Disabled rules are often the ones that were causing alert fatigue. Auditing them tells you what was turned off and why.
List all Sentry metric alert rules for 'my-org' where status is disabled. Write rule name, project, threshold, and the date the rule was last modified into columns A through D.
When the architect wants the full audit: both rule types, project coverage, and a gap summary in one sheet
The readiness review needs an executive summary row plus the full detail.
List all metric alert rules and all issue alert rules for Sentry organization 'my-org'. Write each rule's name, type (metric or issue), project, conditions or threshold, and status into rows 3 and below. In rows 1 and 2, write a summary: total rule count, count by type, count of disabled rules, and count of projects with zero rules. Sort the detail rows by project, then rule type.
The pattern: the audit is one prompt. The gap analysis is part of the same prompt, not a second session.
