Ember

Learn how to set up Sentry in your Ember application and capture your first errors.

You need:

  • A Sentry account and project
  • Your application up and running
  • Ember.js version 4.0.0 or above

Run the command for your preferred package manager to add the Sentry SDK to your application:

Copied
ember install @sentry/ember

Choose the features you want to configure, and this guide will show you how:

Want to learn more about these features?
  • Issues (always enabled): Sentry's core error monitoring product that automatically reports errors, uncaught exceptions, and unhandled rejections. If you have something that looks like an exception, Sentry can capture it.
  • Tracing: Track software performance while seeing the impact of errors across multiple systems. For example, distributed tracing allows you to follow a request from the frontend to the backend and back.
  • Session Replay: Get to the root cause of an issue faster by viewing a video-like reproduction of what was happening in the user's browser before, during, and after the problem.
  • Logs: Centralize and analyze your application logs to correlate them with errors and performance issues. Search, filter, and visualize log data to understand what's happening in your applications.

Configuration should happen as early as possible in your application's lifecycle. Add the following to your app/app.js file:

app.js
Copied
import Application from "@ember/application";
import Resolver from "ember-resolver";
import loadInitializers from "ember-load-initializers";
import config from "./config/environment";

import * as Sentry from "@sentry/ember";

Sentry.init({
  dsn: "___PUBLIC_DSN___",

  // Adds request headers and IP for users, for more info visit:
  // https://docs.sentry.io/platforms/javascript/guides/ember/configuration/options/#sendDefaultPii
  sendDefaultPii: true,

  // ___PRODUCT_OPTION_START___ session-replay
    Sentry.replayIntegration(),
    // ___PRODUCT_OPTION_START___ user-feedback
    Sentry.feedbackIntegration({
      // Additional SDK configuration goes in here, for example:
      colorScheme: "system",
    }),
    // ___PRODUCT_OPTION_END___ user-feedback
  // ___PRODUCT_OPTION_END___ session-replay
  // ___PRODUCT_OPTION_START___ logs

  // Enable logs to be sent to Sentry
  enableLogs: true,
  // ___PRODUCT_OPTION_END___ logs

  // ___PRODUCT_OPTION_START___ performance
  // Set tracesSampleRate to 1.0 to capture 100%
  // of transactions for tracing.
  // We recommend adjusting this value in production
  // Learn more at
  // https://docs.sentry.io/platforms/javascript/configuration/options/#traces-sample-rate
  tracesSampleRate: 1.0,
  // ___PRODUCT_OPTION_END___ performance
  // ___PRODUCT_OPTION_START___ session-replay

  // Capture Replay for 10% of all sessions,
  // plus for 100% of sessions with an error
  // Learn more at
  // https://docs.sentry.io/platforms/javascript/session-replay/configuration/#general-integration-configuration
  replaysSessionSampleRate: 0.1,
  replaysOnErrorSampleRate: 1.0,
  // ___PRODUCT_OPTION_END___ session-replay
});

export default class App extends Application {
  modulePrefix = config.modulePrefix;
  podModulePrefix = config.podModulePrefix;
  Resolver = Resolver;
}

The stack traces in your Sentry errors probably won't look like your actual code without unminifying them. To fix this, upload your source maps to Sentry. The easiest way to do this is by using the Sentry Wizard:

Copied
npx @sentry/wizard@latest -i sourcemaps

You can prevent ad blockers from blocking Sentry events using tunneling. Use the tunnel option to add an API endpoint in your application that forwards Sentry events to Sentry servers.

To enable tunneling, update Sentry.init with the following option:

Copied
Sentry.init({
  dsn: "___PUBLIC_DSN___",
tunnel: "/tunnel",
});

This will send all events to the tunnel endpoint. However, the events need to be parsed and redirected to Sentry, so you'll need to do additional configuration on the server. You can find a detailed explanation on how to do this on our Troubleshooting page.

Let's test your setup and confirm that Sentry is working correctly and sending data to your Sentry project.

To verify that Sentry captures errors and creates issues in your Sentry project, add the following test button to one of your templates, which will trigger an error that Sentry will capture when you click it:

application.hbs
Copied
{{! rest of your page }}
<button type="button" {{on "click" this.throwTestError}}>
  Test Sentry Error
</button>

Next, add the corresponding action to your controller or component:

application.js
Copied
import Controller from "@ember/controller";
import { action } from "@ember/object";

export default class ApplicationController extends Controller {
  @action
  throwTestError() {
    throw new Error("Sentry Test Error");
  }
}

To test your tracing configuration, update the previous code snippet to start a trace to measure the time it takes to execute your code:

application.js
Copied
import Controller from "@ember/controller";
import { action } from "@ember/object";
import * as Sentry from "@sentry/ember";
export default class ApplicationController extends Controller { @action throwTestError() {
Sentry.startSpan({ op: "test", name: "Example Span" }, () => { setTimeout(() => { throw new Error("Sentry Test Error"); }, 99); });
} }

Open the page in a browser and click the button to trigger a frontend error and a trace.

Now, head over to your project on Sentry.io to view the collected data (it takes a couple of moments for the data to appear).

Need help locating the captured errors in your Sentry project?
  1. Open the Issues page and select an error from the issues list to view the full details and context of this error. For more details, see this interactive walkthrough.
  2. Open the Traces page and select a trace to reveal more information about each span, its duration, and any errors. For an interactive UI walkthrough, click here.
  3. Open the Replays page and select an entry from the list to get a detailed view where you can replay the interaction and get more information to help you troubleshoot.
  4. Open the Logs page and filter by service, environment, or search keywords to view log entries from your application. For an interactive UI walkthrough, click here.

At this point, you should have integrated Sentry into your Ember application and should already be sending data to your Sentry project.

Now's a good time to customize your setup and look into more advanced topics. Our next recommended steps for you are:
