# MetricKit | Sentry for tvOS

The [MetricKit](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/metrickit) integration subscribes to [MXHangDiagnostic](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/metrickit/mxhangdiagnostic), [MXDiskWriteExceptionDiagnostic](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/metrickit/mxdiskwriteexceptiondiagnostic) and [MXCPUExceptionDiagnostic](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/metrickit/mxcpuexceptiondiagnostic), which it converts to Sentry events.

This feature is available on Cocoa 8.14.0 and up. The SDK supports this feature from iOS 15 and up and macOS 12 and up because in these versions, MetricKit delivers diagnostic reports immediately, which allows the Sentry SDK to apply current data from the scope.

Note that the Cocoa SDK has no control over the stack traces provided by MetricKit. Some only offer a couple of frames. If these aren't useful to you, you can drop them in [`beforeSend`](https://docs.sentry.io/platforms/apple/guides/tvos/configuration/filtering.md#filtering-error-events/).

You can identify MetricKit events by looking at the `mx_hang_diagnostic`, `mx_cpu_exception`, and `mx_disk_write_exception` `mechanism.type`.

Enable this feature by setting the `enableMetricKit` option to `true`:

```swift
import Sentry

SentrySDK.start { options in
    options.dsn = "___PUBLIC_DSN___"
    options.enableMetricKit = true
}
```

You can enable `enableMetricKitRawPayload` to view the raw MetricKit diagnostic payload in JSON format as an attachment on the converted event in Sentry. This feature is available on Cocoa 8.29.0 and up.

```swift
import Sentry

SentrySDK.start { options in
    options.dsn = "___PUBLIC_DSN___"
    options.enableMetricKit = true
    options.enableMetricKitRawPayload = true
}
```
