NAME

Sentry::SDK - sentry.io integration

SYNOPSIS

  use Sentry::SDK;

  Sentry::SDK->init({
    dsn => "https://examplePublicKey@o0.ingest.sentry.io/0",

    # Adjusting this value in production
    traces_sample_rate => 1.0,
  });

DESCRIPTION

FUNCTIONS

init

  Sentry::SDK->init(\%options);

Initializes the Sentry SDK in your app. The following options are provided:

dsn

The DSN tells the SDK where to send the events. If this value is not provided, the SDK will try to read it from the SENTRY_DSN environment variable. If that variable also does not exist, the SDK will just not send any events.

release

Sets the release. Defaults to the SENTRY_RELEASE environment variable.

environment

Sets the environment. This string is freeform and not set by default. A release can be associated with more than one environment to separate them in the UI (think staging vs prod or similar).

By default the SDK will try to read this value from the SENTRY_ENVIRONMENT environment variable.

traces_sample_rate

A number between 0 and 1, controlling the percentage chance a given transaction will be sent to Sentry. (0 represents 0% while 1 represents 100%.) Applies equally to all transactions created in the app. This must be defined to enable tracing.

integrations

  Sentry::SDK->init({
    integrations => [My::Integration->new],
  });

Enables your custom integration. Optional.

default_integrations

This can be used to disable integrations that are added by default. When set to a falsy value, no default integrations are added.

debug

Enables debug printing.

add_breadcrumb

  Sentry::SDK->add_breadcrumb({
    category => "auth",
    message => "Authenticated user " . user->{email},
    level => Sentry::Severity->Info,
  });

You can manually add breadcrumbs whenever something interesting happens. For example, you might manually record a breadcrumb if the user authenticates or another state change happens.

capture_exception

  eval {
    $app->run();
  };
  if ($@) {
    Sentry::SDK->capture_exception($@);
  }

You can pass an error object to capture_exception() to get it captured as event. It's possible to throw strings as errors.

capture_message

  Sentry::SDK->capture_message("Something went wrong");

Another common operation is to capture a bare message. A message is textual information that should be sent to Sentry. Typically messages are not emitted, but they can be useful for some teams.

capture_event

  Sentry::SDK->capture_event(\%data);

Captures a manually created event and sends it to Sentry.

configure_scope

  Sentry::SDK->configure_scope(sub ($scope) {
    $scope->set_tag(foo => "bar");
    $scope->set-user({id => 1, email => "john.doe@example.com"});
  });

When an event is captured and sent to Sentry, event data with extra information will be merged from the current scope. The configure_scope function can be used to reconfigure the current scope. This for instance can be used to add custom tags or to inform sentry about the currently authenticated user. See Sentry::Hub::Scope for further information.

start_transaction

  my $transaction = Sentry::SDK->start_transaction({
    name => 'MyScript',
    op => 'http.server',
  });

  Sentry::SDK->configure_scope(sub ($scope) {
    $scope->set_span($transaction);
  });

  # ...

  $transaction->set_http_status(200);
  $transaction->finish();

Is needed for recording tracing information. Transactions are usually handled by the respective framework integration. See Sentry::Tracing::Transaction.
