Dropwizard Sentry

Dropwizard integration for error logging to Sentry.

Usage

Dropwizard Sentry provides an AppenderFactory which is automatically registered in Dropwizard and will send errors to Sentry.

Logging startup errors

In order to log startup errors (i.e. before the SentryAppenderFactory has been properly initialized), the Dropwizard application has to run the SentryBootstrap.bootstrap() in its main method and set a custom UncaughtExceptionHandler for the main thread.

public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
    SentryBootstrap.bootstrap(DSN);
    Thread.currentThread().setUncaughtExceptionHandler(UncaughtExceptionHandlers.systemExit());

    new MyDropwizardApplication().run(args);
}

Please note that by default startup logger will catch all logs, you can specify custom threshold as following:

public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
    SentryBootstrap.Builder()
        .withDsn(DSN)
        .withThreshold(THRESHOLD)
        .bootstrap();
    Thread.currentThread().setUncaughtExceptionHandler(UncaughtExceptionHandlers.systemExit());

    new MyDropwizardApplication().run(args);
}

Configuration

Include the sentry appender in your application's YAML configuration:

appenders:
  - type: sentry
    threshold: ERROR
    dsn: https://user:pass@sentry.io/appid
    environment: production
    release: 1.0.0
    serverName: 10.0.0.1
    inAppIncludes: ['com.example','com.foo']

Setting	Default	Description	Example Value
`threshold`	ALL	The minimum log level to send events to Sentry	`ERROR`
`dsn`		Data Source Name - format is `https://{PUBLIC_KEY}:{SECRET_KEY}@sentry.io/{PROJECT_ID}`	`https://foo:bar@sentry.io/12345`
`environment`	[empty]	The environment your application is running in	`production`
`tags`	[empty]	Tags to be sent with each event	`tag1:value1,tag2,value2`
`configurator`	[empty]	Specify a custom `SentryConfigurator` class	`com.example.MySentryConfigurator`
`release`	[empty]	The release version of your application	`1.0.0`
`serverName`	[empty]	Override the server name (rather than looking it up dynamically)	`10.0.0.1`
`inAppIncludes`	[empty]	List of package prefixes used by application code	`['com.example','com.foo']`
`inAppExcludes`	[empty]	List of package prefixes not used by application code	`['com.thirdparty','com.anotherthirdparty']`
`contextTags`	[empty]	context tags names applied as Sentry tags to each event	`['contextTag1','contextTag2']`

If you need to set configuration properties not listed above, append them to the dsn as described here.
