New issues mechanism rebuilt for Clarity, Context, and Faster Fixes

Summary

Hud's new Issues mechanism groups related events into persistent, lifecycle-tracked issues, giving teams clearer context, fewer alerts, and a more accurate view of what is happening in production.

Details

Hud now assigns stable IDs to issues, allowing each problem to be tracked from first detection through resolution. Related errors - such as HTTP 500s caused by the same underlying exception - are grouped into a single issue instead of separate alerts. The new Issues Dashboard brings these signals together across services, with filters and forensic data to help teams investigate faster. Auto-labels highlight first-time issues, spikes in error rates, and regressions tied to recent deployments. Slack alerts now fire once per issue, reducing noise while preserving visibility.

Why It Matters

By consolidating related errors into a single, persistent issue, teams gain a clearer picture of root causes, reduce alert fatigue, and accelerate time to resolution.

How to Access

Use the Issues Dashboard in Hud Web to explore and manage active issues. New grouping and alerting behavior is available immediately for projects running Node SDK v1.6.28+ or Python SDK v0.3.20+.
