Best use case
sentry is best used when you need a repeatable AI agent workflow instead of a one-off prompt.
Sentry error tracking and performance monitoring. Use for error tracking.
Teams using sentry should expect a more consistent output, faster repeated execution, less prompt rewriting.
When to use this skill
- You want a reusable workflow that can be run more than once with consistent structure.
When not to use this skill
- You only need a quick one-off answer and do not need a reusable workflow.
- You cannot install or maintain the underlying files, dependencies, or repository context.

# Sentry
Sentry provides self-hosted and cloud-based error monitoring. In 2025, it excels at **Performance Monitoring** and identifying **AI Model** hallucinations or errors.
## When to Use
- **Error Tracking**: "My app crashed, what is the stack trace?"
- **Frontend Performance**: Web Vitals monitoring (LCP, FID).
- **Release Tracking**: Associate errors with specific git commits/releases.
## Quick Start
```javascript
import * as Sentry from "@sentry/node";
Sentry.init({
dsn: "https://examplePublicKey@o0.ingest.sentry.io/0",
tracesSampleRate: 1.0,
});
try {
myFunction();
} catch (e) {
Sentry.captureException(e);
}
```
## Core Concepts
### Issues
Aggregated groups of events. Sentry expects 1000 events of "NullPointerException" to be grouped into 1 Issue.
### Releases
Tying code versions to errors. Sentry can tell you "This error started in Release v3.4".
### Distributed Tracing
Connects frontend errors to backend bottlenecks.
## Best Practices (2025)
**Do**:
- **Upload Source Maps**: Essential for JS/TS debugging.
- **Use `ignoreErrors`**: Filter out noise (like "Network Error" when user is offline) in the SDK config.
- **Use Session Replay**: Video-like reproduction of user actions leading up to an error.
**Don't**:
- **Don't log PII**: Sanitize data before sending. Sentry has scrubbers, but do it client-side too.
