By the end of this guide you'll be able to create and customize Sentry alerts and dashboards to monitor key metrics, track issue trends, and gain real-time insights in to your application performance. If you get stuck anywhere, try [asking Sentry AI](https://sentry.zendesk.com/hc/en-us?askAI=true) or join our [Discord](https://discord.gg/sentry) community.

## 1. Alerting Strategy
11+
12+
Now that you've integrated with Slack and have added your members and teams, it's time to create [Sentry alerts](/product/alerts/best-practices/) to ensure real-time issue detection, enabling faster debugging and reducing downtime. Configuring alerts using specific thresholds or conditions helps prioritize problems, improving system reliability and incident response time.
13+
14+
### Alert Recommendations
15+
16+
- **Error Alert (High-Frequency)** - Triggers when a new or existing production issue suddenly spikes in frequency.
17+
18+

19+
20+
- **Performance Alert** - Detects and alerts for specific performance metrics when they exceed a specified threshold.
21+
22+

23+
24+
- **Crash Rate Alert** - Monitors application stability by tracking the percentage of users experiencing crashes within a given time frame.
25+

You can also create metric alerts for all you custom-instrumented transactions/spans based on key performance indicators such as [throughput](/product/alerts/alert-types/#performance).

## 2. Sentry Dashboards and Discover
37+
38+
Setting up Sentry dashboards is crucial for speeding up triage and offering a real-time view of critical issues, trends, and performance in your app. If an irregularity is observed, Sentry dashboards allow users to jump directly into troubleshooting with a few clicks.
39+
40+
### Recommended Dashboards
41+
42+
1. **Error Overview Dashboard** - Provides a high-level view of application health, showing you error trends, most frequent issues, and spikes in error occurrences.
43+
44+
2. **Performance Monitoring Dashboard** - Tracks transaction durations, slow API calls, and database query performance to identify bottlenecks.
45+
46+
3. **Mobile Crash Rate and Release Health Dashboard** - Monitors application stability and release impact by tracking crash rates across different versions.
47+
48+
4. **Critical Experience Dashboard** - Tracks errors or performance bottlenecks in your application's critical experiences. [See an example](https://sandbox.sentry.io/dashboard/126679/).
49+
50+
Congratulations on completing the Sentry onboarding guide! You now have the foundation to make the most out of Sentry. Here are some highlights on what you've implemented:
51+
52+
- **Projects and Integrations**: Connect your projects and integrate with your tools to track errors and performance.
53+
54+
- **Team Members**: Invite teammates and manage permissions for better collaboration.
55+
56+
- Adding Custom Context and performance instrumentation.
57+
58+
- **Alerts**: Set up custom alerts to say on top of critical issues.
59+
60+
- **Dashboards**: Create custom dashboards for quick project insights.
61+
62+
- **Filtering and Grouping**: Organize and group issues for easy racking.
