Frequently asked questions
How do I avoid noise from known errors?
Maintain an ignore-list of signatures you've triaged as won't-fix, and skip those in the detection step.
Can I set priority by frequency?
Yes. Map occurrence counts to Jira priority so a spiking error opens as high priority automatically.
