Strapi plugin Sentry

The official plugin to track Strapi errors with Sentry.

Features

• Initialize a Sentry instance when your Strapi app starts
• Send errors encountered in your application's end API to Sentry
• Attach useful metadata to Sentry events, to help you with debugging
• Expose a global Sentry service

Installation

To install this plugin, you need to add an NPM dependency to your Strapi application.

# Using Yarn
yarn add @strapi/plugin-sentry

# Or using NPM
npm install @strapi/plugin-sentry

Configuration

Example

./config/plugins.js

module.exports = ({ env }) => ({
  // ...
  sentry: {
    enabled: true,
    config: {
      dsn: env('SENTRY_DSN'),
      sendMetadata: true,
    },
  },
  // ...
});

Global Sentry service

You can access a Sentry service throughout your app.

const sentryService = strapi.plugin('sentry').service('sentry');

This service exposes the following methods:

sendError(error, configureScope)

Use it to manually send errors to Sentry. The configureScope is optional, it allows you to customize the error event. Read more about Sentry's scope system on their docs.

Example

try {
  // Your code here
} catch (error) {
  // Either send a simple error
  strapi
    .plugin('sentry')
    .service('sentry')
    .sendError(error);

  // Or send an error with a customized Sentry scope
  strapi
    .plugin('sentry')
    .service('sentry')
    .sendError(error, (scope, sentryInstance) => {
      // Customize the scope here
      scope.setTag('my_custom_tag', 'Tag value');
    });
  throw error;
}

getInstance()

Use it if you need direct access to the Sentry instance, which should already already be initialized. It's useful if sendError doesn't suit your needs.

Example

const sentryInstance = strapi
  .plugin('sentry')
  .service('sentry')
  .getInstance();

Disabling

This plugin can be disabled in the plugins configuration file. With the env utility, it is also possible to disable it depending on the environment.

Example

./config/plugins.js

module.exports = ({ env }) => ({
  // ...
  sentry: {
    // Only enable Sentry in production
    enabled: env('NODE_ENV') === 'production',
  },
  // ...
});
