Sentry

CatalogScorecards

Summary​

Sentry provides application monitoring. You can use Sentry to drive insights into values such as:

  • Issues

Setup​

In order to connect Cortex to your Sentry instance, you’ll need to create a Sentry Auth Token, and add it under Settings → Sentry.

caution

If you do not see the Settings page you're looking for in the sidebar, you likely don't have the proper permissions and need to contact your admin.

Registration​

Discovery​

By default, Cortex will use the entity tag (e.g. my-service) as the "best guess" for the Sentry project name. For example, if your entity tag is my-service, then the corresponding project name in Sentry should also be my-service.

If your Sentry project names don’t cleanly match the Cortex entity tag, you can override this in the Cortex Catalog Descriptor.

Catalog Descriptor​

If you need to override the automatic discovery, you can define the following block in your Cortex Catalog Descriptor.

x-cortex-sentry:
  project: my-project # projectName in Sentry

The value for project should be the project name as defined in Sentry.
