Query on Alert for New Exceptions Handling

TLDR Thorben was inquiring about a way to trigger an alert on new exceptions, which Srikanth clarified has a count-based limit.

Is there a way to trigger an alert on new exceptions?

Can you help us understand the use case with some more detail?

I want to send an alert whenever an exception happens. ideally (optionally) for the first time a certain exception type occurs

I played around with it a bit but the only kind of alert I could produce was one where I checked if there was >0 new exceptions within the last minute and then alert

but this felt not great as it would e.g. only send 1 alert even when 2 or more exceptions happen within a minute

I understand and agree it's not really a great experience for exceptions. For now, there is only count based alert.
