Sentry provides both self-hosted and hosted solutions for exception tracking. Both client and server are open source.

Every sentry application defined on the server gets a different DSN. In the example below replace YOUR_DSN with the one created for your application.

import (
  "github.com/Sirupsen/logrus"
  "github.com/evalphobia/logrus_sentry"
)

func main() {
  log       := logrus.New()
  hook, err := logrus_sentry.NewSentryHook(YOUR_DSN, []logrus.Level{
    logrus.PanicLevel,
    logrus.FatalLevel,
    logrus.ErrorLevel,
  })

  if err == nil {
    log.Hooks.Add(hook)
  }
}

If you wish to initialize a SentryHook with tags, you can use the NewWithTagsSentryHook constructor to provide default tags:

tags := map[string]string{
  "site": "example.com",
}
levels := []logrus.Level{
  logrus.PanicLevel,
  logrus.FatalLevel,
  logrus.ErrorLevel,
}
hook, err := logrus_sentry.NewWithTagsSentryHook(YOUR_DSN, tags, levels)

If you wish to initialize a SentryHook with an already initialized raven client, you can use the NewWithClientSentryHook constructor:

import (
  "github.com/Sirupsen/logrus"
  "github.com/evalphobia/logrus_sentry"
  "github.com/getsentry/raven-go"
)

func main() {
  log := logrus.New()

  client, err := raven.New(YOUR_DSN)
  if err != nil {
      log.Fatal(err)
  }

  hook, err := logrus_sentry.NewWithClientSentryHook(client, []logrus.Level{
    logrus.PanicLevel,
    logrus.FatalLevel,
    logrus.ErrorLevel,
  })

  if err == nil {
    log.Hooks.Add(hook)
  }
}

hook, err := NewWithClientSentryHook(client, []logrus.Level{
	logrus.ErrorLevel,
})

Some logrus fields have a special meaning in this hook, and they will be especially processed by Sentry.

Timeout is the time the sentry hook will wait for a response from the sentry server.

If this time elapses with no response from the server an error will be returned.

If Timeout is set to 0 the SentryHook will not wait for a reply and will assume a correct delivery.

The SentryHook has a default timeout of 100 milliseconds when created with a call to NewSentryHook. This can be changed by assigning a value to the Timeout field:

hook, _ := logrus_sentry.NewSentryHook(...)
hook.Timeout = 20*time.Second

By default the hook will not send any stacktraces. However, this can be enabled with:

hook, _ := logrus_sentry.NewSentryHook(...)
hook.StacktraceConfiguration.Enable = true

Subsequent calls to logger.Error and above will create a stacktrace.

Other configuration options are:

• StacktraceConfiguration.Level the logrus level at which to start capturing stacktraces.
• StacktraceConfiguration.Skip how many stack frames to skip before stacktrace starts recording.
• StacktraceConfiguration.Context the number of lines to include around a stack frame for context.
• StacktraceConfiguration.InAppPrefixes the prefixes that will be matched against the stack frame to identify it as in_app
