Automatically close issue when related Sentry error resolves
Problem to solve
Errors are noisy and plentiful which makes triage processes time-consuming because it is difficult to sort through the cruft to find the critical ones. By providing the ability to resolve an error in the GitLab UI, we give users another tool to clear out errors that have been fixed, allowing them to easily focus on the one's that require fixing. When an error is resolved, it is necessary to automatically close the associated issue to eliminate an additional manual step and prevent future confusion over what issues are for active errors.
Intended users
- Delaney (Development Team Lead)
- Sasha (Software Developer)
- Devon (DevOps Engineer)
- Sidney (Systems Administrator)
Further details
This work supports the Error Tracking Vision.
Proposal
Resolving an error should automatically close an associated issue. On Sentry error resolution from error details page or list page, related GitLab issue should be closed, system note added to the closed GitLab issue and notification about closing related GitLab issue displayed
