Error Reporting lets you track investigation progress, coordinate
triage with external issue trackers, and manage notifications for recurring
application errors. Because grouped error events share common characteristics,
Error Reporting retains up to 1,000 sample events
and extrapolates the remaining data. To inspect all individual occurrences
within an error group, you can examine the associated log entries in the
Logs Explorer. For information about how errors are aggregated, see
[How error events are grouped](https://docs.cloud.google.com/error-reporting/docs/grouping-errors.md.txt#how_errors_are_grouped).

## Before you begin

<br />

> [!NOTE]
> **Note** : If you see the message "Set up Error Reporting" on the **Error Reporting** page, then your Google Cloud project has no error groups to display.

<br />

- Make sure that you have at least one error group. For more information, see [Collect error events by using Error Reporting](https://docs.cloud.google.com/error-reporting/docs/setup.md.txt).

<!-- -->

-

  To get the permissions that
  you need to manage errors,

  ask your administrator to grant you the
  [Error Reporting User](https://docs.cloud.google.com/iam/docs/roles-permissions/errorreporting.md.txt#errorreporting.user) (`roles/errorreporting.user`) IAM role on your project.


  For more information about granting roles, see [Manage access to projects, folders, and organizations](https://docs.cloud.google.com/iam/docs/granting-changing-revoking-access.md.txt).


  You might also be able to get
  the required permissions through [custom
  roles](https://docs.cloud.google.com/iam/docs/creating-custom-roles) or other [predefined
  roles](https://docs.cloud.google.com/iam/docs/roles-overview#predefined).

## Change resolution status

To record the status of your investigation into an error group, do the
following:

1. In the Google Cloud console, go to the **Error Reporting** page:

   [Go to **Error Reporting**](https://console.cloud.google.com/errors)

   <br />

   You can also find this page by using the search bar.
2. On the error group that you want to update, click **Open**, and then select
   a resolution status. You can select any of the following values:

   - **Open** : The default initial state of all error groups. The other states are set manually. You can revert an error group's status to **Open** at any time.
   - **Acknowledged**: A state for triaging error groups.
   - **Resolved** : A state for indicating that an error group is fixed and no longer expected to occur. If an error group marked as **Resolved** later reoccurs, then Error Reporting changes the resolution status to **Open**.
   - **Muted**: A state for hiding an error group from your list. If an error event occurs in a muted error group, then the error event isn't recorded and you aren't notified.

## Add links to error groups

You can link error groups to pages such as issue trackers
or documentation with resolution steps.

- To add a link to an error group, click
  **Set the link to an issue tracker for this error group**,
  and then complete the dialog.

- To edit the link on an error group, click
  **Set the link to an issue tracker for this error group**,
  and then complete the dialog.

- To open the link for an error group, click
  **Link to the issue tracker for this error group**.

## Set notifications

Error Reporting can notify you when new error events occur. It
can also notify you when an error event occurs in an error group that has
been marked **Resolved** . To learn more, and for
instructions on setting notifications, see
[Configure and manage notifications](https://docs.cloud.google.com/error-reporting/docs/notifications.md.txt).

## Delete errors

You can delete all error events that are stored for the given
Google Cloud project, and reset error-event counts to zero, by using either
the Google Cloud CLI or the Error Reporting API.

### gcloud

To delete all error events, run this command:

```bash
gcloud beta error-reporting events delete
```

### REST API

To delete all error events, use the
[projects.deleteEvents](https://docs.cloud.google.com/error-reporting/reference/rest/v1beta1/projects/deleteEvents.md.txt)
method of the REST API.

If you subscribe to
[notifications](https://docs.cloud.google.com/error-reporting/docs/notifications.md.txt) for the
Google Cloud project and delete error events for an error group that
has a status of **Resolved** , then the error group resolution status changes
back to **Open**. If a new error event occurs, then
Error Reporting sends a notification.

If you delete error events when the status of the error group is
**Open** or **Acknowledged**, then Error Reporting doesn't send
a notification if new error events occur.
