Sentry SDK for Clojure

Clojars Project

A very thin wrapper around the official Java library for Sentry.

This project follows the version scheme MAJOR.MINOR.COMMITS where MAJOR and MINOR provide some relative indication of the size of the change, but do not follow semantic versioning. In general, all changes endeavour to be non-breaking (by moving to new names rather than by breaking existing names). COMMITS is an ever-increasing counter of commits since the beginning of this repository.

Usage

(require '[sentry-clj.core :as sentry])

; You can initialize Sentry manually by providing a DSN or use one of the
; other optional configuration options supplied as a map (see below).

(sentry/init! "https://public:[email protected]/1")

; Sending a simple message is easy...

(try
  (do-something-risky)
  (catch Exception e
    (sentry/send-event {:message "Something has gone wrong!"
                        :throwable e})))

If you want an interpolated message, you need to provide the full map, i.e.,

(try
  (do-something-risky)
  (catch Exception e
    (sentry/send-event {:message {:message "Something %s has gone %s!"
                                  :params ["foo" "bar"]}
                        :throwable e})))

Additional Initialisation Options

key description default
:enable-external-configuration Enable loading configuration from the properties file, system properties or environment variables
:environment Set the environment on which Sentry events will be logged, e.g., "production" production
:debug Enable SDK logging at the debug level false
:release All events are assigned to a particular release
:dist Set the application distribution that will be sent with each event
:server-name Set the server name that will be sent with each event
:shutdown-timeout-millis Wait up to X milliseconds before shutdown if there are events to send 2000ms
:in-app-includes A seqable collection (vector for example) containing package names to include when sending events
:in-app-excludes A seqable collection (vector for example) containing package names to ignore when sending events
:ignored-exceptions-for-type Set exceptions that will be filtered out before sending to Sentry (a set of Classnames as Strings)
:enable-uncaught-exception-handler Enables the uncaught exception handler true
:before-send-fn A function (taking an event and a hint)
The body of the function must not be lazy (i.e., don't use filter on its own!) and must return an event or nil
If a nil is returned, the event will not be sent to Sentry
More Information
:before-breadcrumb-fn A function (taking a breadcrumb and a hint)
The body of the function must not be lazy (i.e., don't use filter on its own!) and must return a breadcrumb or nil
If a nil is returned, the breadcrumb will not be sent to Sentry
More Information
:contexts A map of key/value pairs to attach to every Event that is sent.
More Information
:traces-sample-rate Set a uniform sample rate(a number of between 0.0 and 1.0) for all transactions for tracing
:traces-sample-fn A function (taking a custom sample context and a transaction context) enables you to control trace transactions
:serialization-max-depth Set to a lower number, i.e., 2, if you experience circular reference errors when sending events 5
:trace-options-requests Set to enable or disable tracing of options requests. true
:instrumenter Sets instrumenter for tracing. (values - :sentry - for default Sentry instrumentation, :otel - OpenTelemetry instrumentation) :sentry
:event-processors A seqable collection (vector for example) containing instances of event processors (implementing io.sentry.EventProcessor)

Some examples:

Basic Initialisation (using defaults):

(sentry/init! "https://public:[email protected]/1")

Initialisation with additional options:

(sentry/init! "https://public:[email protected]/1" {:environment "staging" :debug true :release "[email protected]" :in-app-excludes ["foo.bar"])
(sentry/init! "https://public:[email protected]/1" {:before-send-fn (fn [event _] (when-not (= (.. event getMessage getMessage "foo")) event))})
(sentry/init! "https://public:[email protected]/1" {:before-send-fn (fn [event _] (.setServerName event "fred") event)})
(sentry/init! "https://public:[email protected]/1" {:contexts {:foo "bar" :baz "wibble"}})

Supported event keys

API Documentation

  • :breadcrumbs - a collection of Breadcrumb maps. See below.
  • :dist - a String which identifies the distribution.
  • :environment - a String which identifies the environment.
  • :event-id - a String id to use for the event. If not provided, one will be automatically generated.
  • :extra - a map with Keyword or String keys (or anything for which clojure.core/name can be invoked) and values which can be JSON-ified. If :throwable is given, this will automatically include its ex-data.
    • note: :extra has been deprecated in favour of :contexts upon initialisation
  • :fingerprints - a sequence of Strings that Sentry should use as a fingerprint.
  • :level - a Keyword. One of :debug, :info, :warning, :error, :fatal. Probably most useful in conjunction with :message if you need to report an exceptional condition that's not an exception.
  • :logger - a String which identifies the logger.
  • :message - a map or String containing Message information. See below.
  • :platform - a String which identifies the platform.
  • :release - a String which identifies the release.
  • :request - a map containing Request information. See below.
  • :server-name - a String which identifies the server name.
  • :tags - a map with Keyword or String keys (or anything for which clojure.core/name can be invoked) and values which can be coerced to Strings with clojure.core/str.
  • :throwable - a Throwable object. Sentry's bread and butter.
  • :transaction - a String which identifies the transaction.
  • :user - a map containing User information. See below.

Breadcrumbs

API Documentation

When an event has a :breadcrumbs key, each element of the value collection should be a map. Each key is optional.

  • :type - A String
  • :level - a String
  • :message - a String
  • :category - a String
  • :data - a map with String keys and String values
  • :timestamp - a java.util.Date

Message

API Documentation

When an event has a :message key, either a simple string can be used, or if you require a parameterised message, the following data should be contained within a map, thus:

  • :formatted - A String containing the fully formatted message. If missing, Sentry will try to interpolate the message.
  • :message - An optional String containing the raw message. If there are params, it will be interpolated.
  • :params - An optional sequence of String's containing parameters for interpolation, e.g., `["foo" "bar"]

User

API Documentation

When an event has a :user key, the data following should be contained within a map. You should provide at either the id or the ip-address.

  • :email - A String
  • :id - A String
  • :username - A String
  • :ip-address - A String
  • :other - A map containing key/value pairs of Strings, i.e., {"a" "b" "c" "d"}

Request

API Documentation

When an event has a :request key, the data should be contained within a map. Each key is optional.

  • :url - A String
  • :method - A String
  • :query-string - A String
  • :data - An arbitrary value (e.g., a number, a string, a blob...)
  • :cookies - A String
  • :headers - A map containing key/value pairs of Strings, i.e., {"a" "b" "c" "d"}
  • :env - A map containing key/value pairs of Strings, i.e., {"a" "b" "c" "d"}
  • :other - A map containing key/value pairs of Strings, i.e., {"a" "b" "c" "d"}
