Application Monitoring Overview: How to Track Errors with Sentry

Sep 23, 2019

A quick walkthrough of the Sentry application monitoring platform. In just a few steps, Sentry allows developers to identify and fix production errors across every application in the stack.

Get started by installing the appropriate SDK for your platform or platforms. All unhandled exceptions will be automatically captured by Sentry, with individual errors rolling up into larger issues. You will be able to quickly learn the impact of specific problems, examine the stack trace, and get added context about the application state, so you can connect issues to the root cause.

As a full stack application monitoring tool, Sentry helps trace frontend errors caused by backend code (and vice versa). You can assign issues to a developer or team directly within Sentry, or through an issue tracker. Sentry will send error notifications via alerts that you can fully customize and control.Sentry brings a full application monitoring solution to your stack, so you can fix problems, ship more code, and even take the occasional nap.
