Sentry
The Sentry app for Sumo Logic enables you to monitor installations, received issues, metric alerts, tracked issues, and identified errors. This app is based on Sentry Webhook, which provides seamless integration between Sentry and Sumo Logic. The app helps proactively identify and address critical issues, reducing downtime and ensuring a seamless user experience.
Sentry is an open-source error monitoring platform that helps developers identify, track, and resolve software issues in real-time, enhancing the stability and reliability of applications and websites. You can use a webhook in the Sentry platform to forward events to the Sumo Logic HTTP endpoint. Using these logs, you can monitor installations, received issues, metric alerts, tracked issues, and identified errors in Sumo Logic. For more details, refer to the Sentry Documentation.
Event types​
The Sumo Logic app for Sentry ingests Sentry events into Sumo Logic through an outgoing webhook available in the Sentry. Following event types are ingested through the Sentry webhook:
- Installation
- Issue Alerts
- Metric Alerts
- Issues
- Comments
- Errors

Setup​
This section has instructions for collecting logs for the Sumo Logic Sentry webhook collection.
Source configuration​
Follow the below steps to configure the Hosted Collector to receive Sentry events.
- In the Sumo Logic portal, create a new Hosted Collector or use an existing one. Then add an HTTP Logs and Metrics Source.
- Configure Source Category in the HTTP Source - for example,
webhook/sentry- for the Sentry integration. - Copy and save the endpoint URL of the source.
Vendor configuration​
Configure the webhook integration in Sentry to send events to the Sumo Logic HTTP source. Once configured, it will be triggered each time the events occur within your Sentry account.
Follow the below steps to configure the Sentry Webhook.
- Sign in to your Sentry account.
- Click Settings.
- Select Integrations under the Organization section.
- Select Webhooks.
- Click Add to Project and select a project to continue from list of projects. The webhook's configuration page will appear.
- Enter webhook form data as follows:
- Callback URLs. Enter the Sumo Logic HTTP Source Address created above.
- Click Save Changes.
- Click Enable Plugin.
- Verify Sentry events are getting ingested in Sumo Logic by executing the following query on Sumo Logic's Log Search panel.
_sourceCategory=webhook/sentry
info
- For detailed information about webhook creation, refer to the Sentry Documentation.
- For support, contact Sentry.
Installing the Sentry app​
To install the app, do the following:
- Select App Catalog.
- In the 🔎 Search Apps field, run a search for your desired app, then select it.
- Click Install App.
note
Sometimes this button says Add Integration.
- Click Next in the Setup Data section.
- In the Configure section of your respective app, complete the following fields.
- Key. Select either of these options for the data source.
- Choose Source Category and select a source category from the list for Default Value.
- Choose Custom, and enter a custom metadata field. Insert its value in Default Value.
- Key. Select either of these options for the data source.
- Click Next. You will be redirected to the Preview & Done section.
Post-installation
Once your app is installed, it will appear in your Installed Apps folder, and dashboard panels will start to fill automatically.
Each panel slowly fills with data matching the time range query and received since the panel was created. Results will not immediately be available, but will update with full graphs and charts over time.
Viewing Sentry dashboards​
All dashboards have a set of filters that you can apply to the entire dashboard. Use these filters to drill down and examine the data to a granular level.
- You can change the time range for a dashboard or panel by selecting a predefined interval from a drop-down list, choosing a recently used time range, or specifying custom dates and times. Learn more.
- You can use template variables to drill down and examine the data on a granular level. For more information, see Filtering Dashboards with Template Variables.
- Most Next-Gen apps allow you to provide the scope at the installation time and are comprised of a key (
_sourceCategoryby default) and a default value for this key. Based on your input, the app dashboards will be parameterized with a dashboard variable, allowing you to change the dataset queried by all panels. This eliminates the need to create multiple copies of the same dashboard with different queries.
Overview​
The Sentry - Overview offers valuable insights and statistical information regarding error events, encompassing details about their primary users and their geographic locations, the most frequently used devices, and the top applications affected.
Tags​
The Sentry - Tags delivers valuable insights and statistical analysis of error events, including their categorization by tags and their trends over time.
Upgrade/Downgrade the Sentry app (Optional)​

- If the upgrade does not have any configuration or property changes, you will be redirected to the Preview & Done section.
- If the upgrade has any configuration or property changes, you will be redirected to Setup Data page.
- In the Configure section of your respective app, complete the following fields.
- Key. Select either of these options for the data source.
- Choose Source Category and select a source category from the list for Default Value.
- Choose Custom and enter a custom metadata field. Insert its value in Default Value.
