Legacy SDK
Deprecation Warning
A new Go SDK has superseded this deprecated version. Sentry preserves this documentation for customers using the old raven-go client. Learn more about the project on GitHub and check out our migration guide.
Raven-Go provides a Sentry client implementation for the Go programming language.
Getting started with Sentry is a three step process:
Raven-Go can be installed like any other Go library through go get:
go get github.com/getsentry/raven-go
To use raven-go, you’ll need to import the raven package, then initialize your DSN globally. If you specify the SENTRY_DSN environment variable, this will be done automatically for you. The release and environment can also be specified in the environment variables SENTRY_RELEASE and SENTRY_ENVIRONMENT respectively. More on this in Configuration section.
package main
import "github.com/getsentry/raven-go"
func init() {
raven.SetDSN("https://examplePublicKey@o0.ingest.sentry.io/0")
}
For more detailed information about how to get the most out of raven-go there is additional documentation available that covers all the rest:
