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 User Auth Token, and add it under Settings → Sentry. The token requires event:read and project:read permissions.

caution

If you do not see the Settings page you're looking for, 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 entity descriptor.

Entity descriptor​

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

x-cortex-sentry:
  projects:
  - name: my-project
  - name: my-second-project

The value for projects should be a list of the project names as defined in Sentry.
