Seer

Learn about Seer, Sentry's AI agent, and managing generative AI features.

Seer is Sentry's AI debugging agent. It includes a set of features, built on generative AI, that use Sentry's rich context (issue details, tracing data, logs, and profiles) to help you troubleshoot and fix errors and performance issues faster.

Seer provides two main capabilities to enhance your debugging:

  • Issue fix: A collaborative workflow to find the root cause and solution of errors and performance issues.
  • Issue scan: Intelligently analyzes your issues and provides actionability scores to help you prioritize what to work on.

Issue fix uses AI to find the root cause of your apps' issues and suggest solutions. With issue fix, you can:

  • Get an accurate root cause analysis, using Sentry's context and your codebases
  • Receive suggested code fixes and unit tests
  • Collaborate with Seer throughout the debugging process
  • Create pull requests directly from the Seer interface

Issue scan intelligently analyzes your issues and helps you prioritize what to work on. With issue scan, you can:

  • View actionability scores that indicate how likely an issue is to be fixable with a code change, manually or with Seer's issue fix
  • Enable Seer's issue fix to be started automatically once an issue is ingested in Sentry
  • Filter issues by their latest scan results
  • Se Seer labels in the issue stream for quick identification
  • Get insights into which issues need immediate attention

Seer leverages multiple data sources to provide accurate analysis and solutions:

  • Issue Context: Error messages, stack traces, and event metadata from your Issues
  • Tracing Data: Distributed traces and span information
  • Logs: Structured Logs from your application (beta)
  • Your Codebase: Relevant code from linked GitHub repositories, with support for multiple repos for distributed services
  • Performance Data: Profiles and performance metrics
  • Interactive Feedback: Your input and guidance during the process

To start using Seer's capabilities:

  1. Enable Seer: Make sure AI features are enabled in your organization settings
  2. Set up GitHub Integration: For issue fix capabilities, connect your GitHub repositories
  3. Configure Settings: Customize Seer's behavior in your project settings
  4. Start Using: Look for Seer options in your issue details pages

Sentry includes strong guarantees for privacy and security of your data. At a glance:

  • Sentry does not train generative AI models using your data by default and without your permission.
  • AI-generated output is shown only to you and other authorized users in your account.

You can learn more about our data privacy practices in the security and legal docs.
