If finding errors in your frontend project is like searching for a needle in a code haystack, then Sentry error monitoring can be your metal detector. Learn the basics of error monitoring with Sentry. Whether you are running a React, Angular, Vue, or just “vanilla” JavaScript, see how Sentry can help you find the who, what, when and where behind errors in your frontend project.

This workshop has been presented at React Advanced 2023, check out the latest edition of this React Conference.

FAQ

Sentry can be integrated into Next.js applications by setting up a Sentry project and configuring it to monitor the application. This includes installing necessary SDKs, setting up source maps for better error tracking, and configuring alerting and issue assignments for operational efficiency.

Distributed tracing in Sentry provides a detailed view of requests as they travel through different services and infrastructure layers. It helps developers identify performance bottlenecks and understand the behavior of complex systems, leading to more effective troubleshooting and optimization.

Sentry is an application monitoring tool that helps developers detect issues in their applications quickly. It provides functionalities such as error tracking, performance monitoring, and issue resolution insights, enabling developers to pinpoint and fix problems efficiently.

Yes, Sentry integrates seamlessly with existing development workflows through its support for various programming languages, frameworks, and integration with other tools like GitHub, Slack, and JIRA. This flexibility allows teams to adopt Sentry without disrupting their current processes.

Setting up Sentry for a Next.js application involves creating a Sentry account, installing the Sentry SDK, configuring your project in Sentry to capture errors and performance data, and optionally setting up source maps for better error diagnostics.

Key features of Sentry's monitoring tools include error tracking, performance monitoring, distributed tracing, and session replay. These features help developers understand the health of their applications, diagnose issues, and improve user experience.

Sentry's session replay feature captures user interactions with an application, allowing developers to see exactly what users experienced leading up to an issue. This helps in diagnosing problems that may not be directly apparent from error logs or performance metrics alone.

You know that annoying bug? The one that doesn’t show up locally? And no matter how many times you try to recreate the environment you can’t reproduce it? You’ve gone through the breadcrumbs, read through the stack trace, and are now playing detective to piece together support tickets to make sure it’s real.
Join Sentry developer Ryan Albrecht in this talk to learn how developers can use Session Replay - a tool that provides video-like reproductions of user interactions - to identify, reproduce, and resolve errors and performance issues faster (without rolling your head on your keyboard).

Sentry is code monitoring for developers, specifically designed for the application layer. It helps identify error details, frequency, release, user information, and stack trace. Source maps can be uploaded to see the original source code and suspect commits can be identified. Performance monitoring helps identify slowdowns and determine the cause. Automating alerts and investigating errors helps gain instant context and trace errors across different projects.
