Novelty Alerts for New Failures Only
Problem: Current alerting options can be noisy when large numbers of stacks fail with the same issue.
Request:
Introduce optional novelty-based alerts — notify teams only when a new failure pattern is detected (i.e., something that hasn’t been seen before in the current window).
Impact: Reduces alert fatigue while still catching regressions early. Similar logic used in tools like Sentry for new exceptions.

Hey @Harrison Schmidt ! Thanks for the feature request.
I can definitely see how alert fatigue from duplicate failure patterns would be frustrating when managing many stacks at DriveWealth.While we don't currently offer novelty-based alerts, you might find some relief using our existing notification policy features. You could:
1. Filter by stack labels or specific error patterns - Create notification policies that only alert on certain types of failures
2. Route to different channels - Send different failure types to different Slack channels or webhooks
3. Suppress known transient issues - Use policy logic to ignore certain error patterns.
That said, I understand this doesn't fully address the pattern-matching and deduplication aspect you're looking for. The ability to detect "new" failure patterns (like Sentry does with exceptions) would indeed reduce noise significantly.
I'll leave you request in “Gathering votes” for now to track the demand among other customer.
Would any of these workarounds help with your immediate needs? Happy to discuss your specific use case further if that would be helpful!
