Is there a guide somewhere on setting up alerts for exceptions? I have exception logging working and I created an alert for exceptions, but the alert that I receive in Slack is more of a metric than the specific exception.

@Taylor Merritt Can you share more on what do you mean by
alert that I receive in Slack is more of a metric than the specific exception.
We had done an office hrs on Alerts. Might be helpful for you to get an idea -

What I would like to be able to do is just receive a message in Slack when I receive a new error. Something like this that we were getting from New Relic:
It contains the basic error message and a link to the error in New Relic to view more details.
I don't really see anyway to configure an alert in SigNoz to contain information about a specific exception.

I see, that's a good question. Did you check this section in the doc - https://signoz.io/docs/userguide/alerts-management/#1-configure-slack-channel It mentions using go templates for setting alert specific info.
If that doesn't work, please create an issue - https://github.com/SigNoz/signoz/issues/new/choose

@Taylor Merritt, in your query, you could group by an exception type and use the labels to format the alert message as you mentioned above. Let us know if you further help.
