You use Error Tracking to simplify debugging by grouping thousands of similar errors into a single issue. Use issue correlation to determine the cause of the issue, the impact it has on other services, and if the error is a result of a downstream dependency.

Issue correlation also helps reduce noise from the issue list by identifying the most critical issues. This allows you to alert the right team and reach a quicker resolution.
