What are the top things you wish you could monitor or be alerted about on Railway?

the most common request I have seen for alerts would be for log levels when users are doing structured logging.

Heck yes! Are there common log level alerts you've heard requested?

warn and error would be the most common, but allowing you to set alerts on any level would be the best idea imo, since a lot of logging packages can allow you to set custom levels.

but going to an even broader scope, allowing to set alerts for any matching attribute with a corresponding value would both incorporate level alerting and so much more!

I'm looking for a logging solution and stumbled upon this thread. Is there any plans to integrate log level notifications directly within railway? I'd love that feature as well!


Another customer requested this.

I also need to be able to set up alerts based on log output. The feature should be built such that users can write whatever kind of queries they want to alert on.

i would also really like this feature. Found this thread trying to google around and see if this was a current functionality or not

Any update on this (rather trivial) request?

We literally just need either (1) the ability to drain logs elsewhere, or (2) configure alerts based on log-matching patterns.

To describe the basic desire here, we'd like to receive error alerts in a Slack channel whenever a service returns a 5XX response, so we can investigate.

Railway is releasing incredibly complex and impressive features at a breakneck pace, but failing to deliver this table-stakes feature.

This is a must have.. locomotive is not exactly easy to setup/maintain with several dozen services. We just need a drain for ERROR logs

At least CPU and Memory. Today my website was almost down because of 100% CPU.
