Sentry

Frequently looked up

Q1What is structured logging?

Structured logging records each log as an event with named fields instead of a plain string. Rather than writing a sentence into a log line, you attach properties like customer_id or payment_id to the message. This makes logs searchable and groupable, so you can filter to a single customer or transaction instead of grepping raw text. In Sentry you can pass variables directly in string templates and the platform extracts both the template and its values.

Q2How much do logs cost?

Sentry Logs is currently available for all users. You get 5GB of logs for free and are charged $0.50/GB after that.

Q3Why Logs in Sentry?

When debugging, logs, traces, and errors work better together. Logs provide the granular context that spans and errors can miss. In most tools today, logs live in a separate system, forcing you to switch between tools to piece together the full picture. With logs in Sentry, everything is in one place and you can see logs right alongside your errors and traces without switching tools.

Q4How to get started?

Getting started is just as easy as adding a console.log or logger.info. Sentry SDKs handle the heavy lifting, automatically linking your logs to traces and errors so you get the full context with minimal setup. You can integrate Sentry with just one line of code across 100+ programming languages.

Q5What programming languages does Sentry support?

Sentry supports more than 100 coding languages including JavaScript, Python, Java, Go, Ruby, PHP, Swift, .NET, and many others.
