Overview
The Triage Agent automatically detects, investigates, and helps resolve production issues by connecting error monitoring, code repositories, team communication, and deployment tools.Result: Reduce triage time from 30 minutes to 3 minutes
Problem It Solves
When a production error occurs:- ❌ Someone has to notice (Sentry alert)
- ❌ Investigate error (read stack trace, check logs)
- ❌ Find relevant code (search GitHub)
- ❌ Notify team (post to Slack)
- ❌ Create ticket (open Linear issue)
- ❌ Check if related to recent deploy (Render logs)
Solution: Automated Triage
✅ Agent does all of this automatically in < 3 minutesRequired Connectors

Click Deploy to activate your Triage Agent
Usage
Example prompts:- “Check Sentry for new production errors and investigate”
- “Is the recent error spike related to our latest deployment?”
- “Investigate Sentry error SENTRY-ABC-123”
Key Features
- Error Detection: Monitor production errors from Sentry
- Code Investigation: Search GitHub for relevant code
- Team Notification: Alert team in Slack
- Deployment Tracking: Check recent Render deployments
Best Practices
- Filter Sentry Errors: Configure Sentry to only alert on actionable errors (exclude known/expected errors, filter by environment)
- Use Descriptive Commit Messages: Good commit messages help correlate errors with code changes
- Require Approval for Rollbacks: Keep destructive actions like
rollback_deploymentas “Require Approval” for safety
