Node.js
Sentry's SDKs enable automatic reporting of errors and exceptions.
On this page, we get you up and running with Sentry's SDK, so that it will automatically report errors and exceptions in your application.
Using a framework?
Get started using a guide listed in the right sidebar.
Don't already have an account and Sentry project established? Head over to sentry.io, then return to this page.
Install
Sentry captures data by using an SDK within your application’s runtime.
npm install --save @sentry/node
Configure
Configuration should happen as early as possible in your application's lifecycle.
Once this is done, Sentry's Node SDK captures all transactions and unhandled exceptions.
import * as Sentry from "@sentry/node";
Sentry.init({
dsn: "https://examplePublicKey@o0.ingest.sentry.io/0",
// We recommend adjusting this value in production, or using tracesSampler
// for finer control
tracesSampleRate: 1.0,
});
Verify
This snippet includes an intentional error, so you can test that everything is working as soon as you set it up.
const transaction = Sentry.startTransaction({
op: "test",
name: "My First Test Transaction",
});
setTimeout(() => {
try {
foo();
} catch (e) {
Sentry.captureException(e);
} finally {
transaction.finish();
}
}, 99);
Learn more about manually capturing an error or message in our Usage documentation.
To view and resolve the recorded error, log into sentry.io and open your project. Clicking on the error's title will open a page where you can see detailed information and mark it as resolved.
Add Readable Stack Traces to Errors
Depending on how you've set up your JavaScript project, the stack traces in your Sentry errors probably don't look like your actual code.
To fix this, head over to our source maps documentation where you'll learn how to upload source maps, so you can make sense of your stack traces.
Our documentation is open source and available on GitHub. Your contributions are welcome, whether fixing a typo (drat!) to suggesting an update ("yeah, this would be better").
