This page explains how you can manage your error groups in
Error Reporting.
Errors that are grouped together are usually very similar, so
Error Reporting keeps only 1,000 samples and
extrapolates the remaining information. To view all occurrences of an error,
view the related logs with the Logs Explorer.
For more information about error grouping, see
How errors are grouped.
You can also find this page by using the search bar.
On the error group that you want to update, click Open, and then select
a resolution status. You can select any of the following values:
Open: The default initial state of all error groups. The other
states are set manually. You can revert an error group's status back to
Open at any time.
Acknowledged: A state for triaging error groups.
Resolved: A state for indicating that an error group is fixed and no
longer expected to occur. If an error group marked as Resolved
later reoccurs, then Error Reporting changes the
resolution status back to Open.
Muted: A state for hiding an error group from your list. If a muted
error reoccurs, then the error isn't included in the list of errors
and you aren't notified.
Add links to error groups
You can link error groups to pages such as issue trackers
or documentation with resolution steps.
To add a link to an error group, click
addSet the link to an issue tracker for this error group,
and then complete the dialog.
To edit the link on an error group, click
editSet the link to an issue tracker for this error group,
and then complete the dialog.
To open the link for an error group, click
linkLink to the issue tracker for this error group.
Set notifications
Error Reporting can notify you when new errors occur and when
errors that have been marked Resolved reoccur. To learn more, and for
instructions on setting notifications, see
Configure and manage notifications.
Delete errors
You can delete all error events which are stored for the given
Google Cloud project, and reset error counts to zero, using either the
gcloud tool or the REST API.
If you subscribed to error
notifications for the
Google Cloud project and then deleted errors with a Resolved status,
then the resolution status changes back to Open and
Error Reporting sends a notification if the errors reoccur.
If you deleted errors with a status of Open or Acknowledged, then
Error Reporting doesn't send a notification if the errors
reoccur.
