In short

How do I get a daily digest of open New Relic alerts?

WebRun checks New Relic every morning for alerts opened in the last 24 hours and compares key service error rates and response times to baseline. It exports the full incident report to Google Drive and posts a Slack summary naming the worst-performing service, so engineering starts the day knowing exactly what needs attention.

  • Engineering starts the day with a clear incident summary, not raw alerts
  • The worst-performing service is called out automatically each morning
  • A full report is saved to Drive for anyone who needs the detail

Good to know

Questions, answered

Will it resolve or acknowledge alerts on its own?

No. WebRun only reports what's open. Acknowledging, resolving, or paging further escalation is left to your on-call process.

How does it pick the worst-performing service?

It compares each key service's current error rate and response time to its own baseline, so the digest highlights the service furthest from normal, not just the loudest alert.

What if there are no open alerts?

The digest still posts, noting all services are within baseline, so a quiet morning is confirmed rather than assumed.

Put this on autopilot.
