## Features

### Sidekiq Performance Monitoring

Quickly identify Sidekiq [performance](/product/tracing/) issues and view the full end-to-end distributed trace to see the exact, poor-performing API call and surface any related errors.

### Sidekiq Monitoring with Complete Stack Traces

Take advantage of built-in integrations with Rails, Sidekiq, DelayedJob, and more of your favorite RubyGems. Events are sent asynchronously by a background worker, so reporting never blocks your requests. Filter and group Sidekiq exceptions intuitively to eliminate noise.

### Fill In The Blanks About Sidekiq Errors

Expose important events that led to each Sidekiq exception: a string to label where the event took place, message, timestamp. Learn in which version a bug first appeared, merge duplicates, and know if things regress in a future release.
