This skill provides systematic, advanced diagnostic paths for complex Sentry issues. It addresses common pitfalls such as silently dropped events, failed source map resolution, gaps in distributed tracing, SDK memory leaks, and conflicts with other observability libraries. Use this guide when standard debugging fails and events disappear mysteriously.

A comprehensive guide to configuring Sentry error tracking and performance monitoring across modern application architectures. Learn how to implement coherent, end-to-end distributed tracing for monoliths, microservices, serverless functions (Lambda/Cloud Functions), event-driven systems, SPAs, and mobile applications, ensuring all application hops are monitored from a single source.

A comprehensive guide to integrating Sentry into continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipelines (e.g., GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, CircleCI). This skill automates complex tasks such as creating releases, uploading source maps for readable stack traces, associating commits, and tracking deployment environments, ensuring rapid and accurate debugging of production errors.

This guide provides comprehensive steps to diagnose and fix the most frequent Sentry SDK integration issues. It covers critical topics such as DSN validation, missing event capture, source map failures, rate limiting, and proper flushing patterns in Node.js, Python, and serverless environments. Use this when your error monitoring system is not working as expected.

A comprehensive guide on optimizing Sentry observability costs. Learn techniques such as SDK-level error sampling, fine-grained performance tracing control, and event filtering using the `beforeSend` hook. These methods significantly reduce the volume of error and transaction data sent, allowing users to manage quotas and prevent overage charges without losing visibility into mission-critical production errors.

Configure GDPR-compliant data handling, PII scrubbing, and data retention policies within Sentry. This skill provides detailed instructions on implementing client-side `beforeSend` hooks and server-side scrubbing rules to securely redact sensitive data (passwords, emails, IP addresses, CC numbers). Essential for achieving compliance with regulations like GDPR, HIPAA, and meeting SOC 2 audit controls.

Integrate Sentry into your CI/CD pipeline to achieve end-to-end release tracking. This skill guides you through using the Sentry CLI and SDK to record deployments, associate commits, upload source maps, and monitor crucial release health metrics. Key functions include detecting regressions, calculating crash-free session rates, and tracking user adoption curves for every deployed version.

This guide provides comprehensive instructions for setting up and managing Sentry's enterprise-grade Role-Based Access Control (RBAC). It covers establishing the Organization-Team-Project hierarchy, integrating Single Sign-On (SSO) via SAML2, and automating user provisioning with SCIM. Use this when setting up large-scale organizations, enforcing granular team permissions, centralizing identity management, or ensuring regulatory compliance and audit logging.

This skill provides a comprehensive walkthrough for setting up and testing Sentry error monitoring using both Node.js and Python SDKs. It demonstrates how to capture various event types, including simple messages and full exceptions, and crucially, how to enrich these events with user context, searchable tags, and detailed breadcrumbs. This is essential for verifying robust error logging and monitoring in a production environment.

A structured framework for managing production outages using Sentry. This guide walks users through classifying incident severity (P0-P3), performing deep triage using stack traces and breadcrumbs, and executing API-based queries to pinpoint root causes and measure impact. Essential for DevOps and SRE teams during critical incident response.

This guide provides a comprehensive, multi-language walkthrough for installing and initializing the Sentry SDK in various environments (Node.js, Python, Browser). It covers essential concepts like DSN setup, using secure environment variables, configuring release versions, and implementing basic error and performance tracking for robust observability in production and CI/CD pipelines.

This guide identifies and provides remedies for common anti-patterns when configuring and using the Sentry SDK in production environments. It covers critical pitfalls like hardcoded DSNs, incorrect sample rate settings, and failure to flush events, ensuring data integrity, preventing cost overruns, and maintaining comprehensive monitoring coverage across various platforms.
