The change publishes new documentation pages and stops an old URL from forwarding. Watch new-page loads, sibling-page loads, not-found counts, and path errors. An issue becomes serious when new pages stay unused or those not-found counts and errors rise.

Services: sentry-docs, develop-docs.

Mention @change-monitor in a comment to update the plan.

Plan

What changed

Requests to /product/explore/ now show the Explore guide. The site no longer forwards that URL to Trace Explorer. New pages exist at /product/explore/dropped-data/ and at the Logs and Metrics searchable-properties lists. Related product pages now link to the Explore guide.

sentry-docs must deploy before these URLs are live. develop-docs must deploy before two wording edits are live. Vercel Production environments named sentry-docs and develop-docs select those catalog ids.

Risk

If page generation fails, readers hit not-found pages for the new URLs. Removing the forward means old /product/explore/ bookmarks no longer open Trace Explorer. Broken links on updated product pages send readers to missing routes. Reach is public documentation readers on those product and search pages.

Intended effect

New pages appear as docs.page.load samples with the new paths. absent looks like those path counts stay at zero while sibling product pages still load. These paths had no samples before deploy. That zero is the baseline.

Signal	Baseline	Rule	Source
`docs.page.load` for `/product/explore/`	0 loads in 20085 total loads	Rise above 0	Sentry `sentry/docs`, `metric.name:docs.page.load environment:production path:"/product/explore/"`, 2026-10-07T20:57:00Z to 2026-10-08T20:57:00Z
`docs.page.load` for `/product/explore/dropped-data/`	0 loads in 20085 total loads	Rise above 0	Same metric, `path:"/product/explore/dropped-data/"`, same window
`docs.page.load` for `/concepts/search/searchable-properties/logs/`	0 loads in 20085 total loads	Rise above 0	Same metric, `path:"/concepts/search/searchable-properties/logs/"`, same window
`docs.page.load` for `/concepts/search/searchable-properties/metrics/`	0 loads in 20085 total loads	Rise above 0	Same metric, `path:"/concepts/search/searchable-properties/metrics/"`, same window

Regression watch

This diff can 404 the new routes or break links on sibling product pages. Pageload spans use /:path*? and cannot name a page. Use the path attribute on docs.page.load and docs.page.not_found. A drop on Trace Explorer with a rise on /product/explore/ is expected. A drop on sibling pages with no rise on the new paths is not.

Signal	Baseline	Rule	Source
`docs.page.not_found` for `product/explore`	1 count in 20085 total loads	Hold 0-2. Rise above 2 is a regression	Sentry `sentry/docs`, `metric.name:docs.page.not_found environment:production requested_path:product/explore`, 2026-10-07T20:57:00Z to 2026-10-08T20:57:00Z
`docs.page.not_found` for `product/trace-explorer`	0 count	Hold 0. Any rise is a regression	Same metric, `requested_path:product/trace-explorer`, same window
`docs.page.not_found` for `concepts/search`	0 count	Hold 0. Any rise is a regression	Same metric, `requested_path:concepts/search`, same window
`docs.page.load` for `/product/logs/`	124 loads in 20085 total loads, share 0.62%	Hold 0.3-0.9% of total loads	`metric.name:docs.page.load environment:production path:"/product/logs/"`, same window
`docs.page.load` for `/product/metrics/`	77 loads in 20085 total loads, share 0.38%	Hold 0.2-0.6% of total loads	Same metric, `path:"/product/metrics/"`, same window
`docs.page.load` for `/product/trace-explorer/`	77 loads in 20085 total loads, share 0.38%	Hold above 0.2% unless `/product/explore/` also rises	Same metric, `path:"/product/trace-explorer/"`, same window
Production errors on those URLs	4 errors	Hold 0-8. Rise above 8 is a regression	Sentry `sentry/docs` errors, `environment:production AND (url:/product/explore OR url:/product/trace-explorer OR url:/concepts/search/searchable-properties OR url:/product/logs OR url:/product/metrics)`, same window

If the not-found count for product/explore rises, check whether /product/explore/ failed to generate. If sibling page loads fall and the new paths stay at zero, check the updated product links.

Not observable

Pageload and navigation spans all report transaction /:path*?. They cannot confirm a named page. Search index coverage for the new titles is not measured here. The ingestion-delay image render is not measured. Wording on develop-docs is not independently queryable.

Intention was to just turn this on for our early adopter users, we could link this to https://docs.sentry.io/organization/early-adopter-features/

Ah, thanks for the clarification. Good to know it's going on for everyone! I'll update.
