Disable Release Creation
Learn how to stop Sentry from automatically creating releases from ingested events so you can manage releases yourself.
By default, Sentry creates a release the first time it sees a new release identifier in ingested events. If you'd rather manage releases yourself, you can turn this off in Project Settings > General Settings > Event Settings by disabling Enable release auto-creation from telemetry.
When this setting is disabled:
- Sentry no longer creates releases from ingested events.
- Events are still ingested as normal. If the release doesn't already exist, the event just won't have an associated release.
- Events still associate with releases that already exist, so you keep creating releases explicitly, for example using the Sentry CLI.
This is useful when you want release names to match exactly what your deploy pipeline creates and don't want extra releases generated from telemetry.
