Sentry
Sentry is an application monitoring platform designed primarily for tracing and error tracking. It can help developers to find, diagnose, and fix issues in their software code. Sentry provides a comprehensive dashboard for data analysis, allowing teams to gain insights into application performance and error trends.
Key Features in Sentry for Debugging
Real-Time Error Tracking: Instant notifications about exceptions and errors with detailed contextual information.
Stack Trace: Provides insights into the sequence of events leading up to an error to identify the root cause.
Breadcrumb Trails: Captures and displays the sequence of events leading up to an error, offering a clear chronological context.
Glossary
Trace: Represents the full path of a single request, from start to finish, across all connected services in your system. It contains multiple spans.
Span: A single unit of work within a trace, representing an operation like a function call or a database request.
Event: Any notable occurrence in the application, like an error or a relevant transaction. Events are central to Sentry’s operations and help track application state changes.
