Package sentry is the official Sentry SDK for Go.
For more information about Sentry and SDK features please have a look at the documentation site https://docs.sentry.io/platforms/go/.
The first step is to initialize the SDK, providing at a minimum the DSN of your Sentry project. This step is accomplished through a call to sentry.Init.
func main() {
err := sentry.Init(...)
...
}
A more detailed yet simple example is available at https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-go/blob/master/example/basic/main.go.
The SDK has support for several Go frameworks, available as subpackages.
For paid Sentry.io accounts, head out to https://sentry.io/support.
For all users, support channels include:
Forum: https://forum.sentry.io Discord: https://discord.gg/Ww9hbqr (#go channel)
If you found an issue with the SDK, please report through https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-go/issues/new/choose.
For responsibly disclosing a security issue, please follow the steps in https://sentry.io/security/#vulnerability-disclosure.

const (
// HubContextKey is the key used to store the current Hub.
HubContextKey = contextKey(1)
// RequestContextKey is the key used to store the current http.Request.
RequestContextKey = contextKey(2)
)Keys used to store values in a Context. Use with Context.Value to access values stored by the SDK.
const Version = "0.7.0"Version is the version of the SDK.
Logger is an instance of log.Logger that is use to provide debug information about running Sentry Client can be enabled by either using Logger.SetOutput directly or with Debug client option.
func AddBreadcrumb(breadcrumb *Breadcrumb)
AddBreadcrumb records a new breadcrumb.
The total number of breadcrumbs that can be recorded are limited by the configuration on the client.
func AddGlobalEventProcessor(processor EventProcessor)
AddGlobalEventProcessor adds processor to the global list of event processors. Global event processors apply to all events.
Deprecated: Use Scope.AddEventProcessor or Client.AddEventProcessor instead.
ConfigureScope is a shorthand for CurrentHub().ConfigureScope.
Flush waits until the underlying Transport sends any buffered events to the Sentry server, blocking for at most the given timeout. It returns false if the timeout was reached. In that case, some events may not have been sent.
Flush should be called before terminating the program to avoid unintentionally dropping events.
Do not call Flush indiscriminately after every call to CaptureEvent, CaptureException or CaptureMessage. Instead, to have the SDK send events over the network synchronously, configure it to use the HTTPSyncTransport in the call to Init.
HasHubOnContext checks whether Hub instance is bound to a given Context struct.
func Init(options ClientOptions) error
Init initializes the SDK with options. The returned error is non-nil if options is invalid, for instance if a malformed DSN is provided.
func PopScope()
PopScope is a shorthand for CurrentHub().PopScope.
func PushScope()
PushScope is a shorthand for CurrentHub().PushPushScope.
SetHubOnContext stores given Hub instance on the Context struct and returns a new Context.
WithScope is a shorthand for CurrentHub().WithScope.

type Hub struct {
// contains filtered or unexported fields
}Hub is the central object that manages scopes and clients.
This can be used to capture events and manage the scope. The default hub that is available automatically.
In most situations developers do not need to interface the hub. Instead toplevel convenience functions are exposed that will automatically dispatch to global (CurrentHub) hub. In some situations this might not be possible in which case it might become necessary to manually work with the hub. This is for instance the case when working with async code.
CurrentHub returns an instance of previously initialized Hub stored in the global namespace.
GetHubFromContext tries to retrieve Hub instance from the given Context struct or return nil if one is not found.
NewHub returns an instance of a Hub with provided Client and Scope bound.
func (hub *Hub) AddBreadcrumb(breadcrumb *Breadcrumb, hint *BreadcrumbHint)
AddBreadcrumb records a new breadcrumb.
The total number of breadcrumbs that can be recorded are limited by the configuration on the client.
BindClient binds a new Client for the current Hub.
CaptureEvent calls the method of a same name on currently bound Client instance passing it a top-level Scope. Returns EventID if successfully, or nil if there's no Scope or Client available.
CaptureException calls the method of a same name on currently bound Client instance passing it a top-level Scope. Returns EventID if successfully, or nil if there's no Scope or Client available.
CaptureMessage calls the method of a same name on currently bound Client instance passing it a top-level Scope. Returns EventID if successfully, or nil if there's no Scope or Client available.
Client returns top-level Client of the current Hub or nil if no Client is bound.
Clone returns a copy of the current Hub with top-most scope and client copied over.
ConfigureScope runs f in the current scope.
It is useful to set data that applies to all events that share the current scope.
Modifying the scope affects all references to the current scope.
See also WithScope for making isolated temporary changes.
Flush waits until the underlying Transport sends any buffered events to the Sentry server, blocking for at most the given timeout. It returns false if the timeout was reached. In that case, some events may not have been sent.
Flush should be called before terminating the program to avoid unintentionally dropping events.
Do not call Flush indiscriminately after every call to CaptureEvent, CaptureException or CaptureMessage. Instead, to have the SDK send events over the network synchronously, configure it to use the HTTPSyncTransport in the call to Init.
LastEventID returns an ID of last captured event for the current Hub.
PopScope pops the most recent scope for the current Hub.
PushScope pushes a new scope for the current Hub and reuses previously bound Client.
Recover calls the method of a same name on currently bound Client instance passing it a top-level Scope. Returns EventID if successfully, or nil if there's no Scope or Client available.
RecoverWithContext calls the method of a same name on currently bound Client instance passing it a top-level Scope. Returns EventID if successfully, or nil if there's no Scope or Client available.
Scope returns top-level Scope of the current Hub or nil if no Scope is bound.
WithScope runs f in an isolated temporary scope.
It is useful when extra data should be sent with a single capture call, for instance a different level or tags.
The scope passed to f starts as a clone of the current scope and can be freely modified without affecting the current scope.
It is a shorthand for PushScope followed by PopScope.
Integration allows for registering a functions that modify or discard captured events.
Level marks the severity of the event.
const (
LevelDebug Level = "debug"
LevelInfo Level = "info"
LevelWarning Level = "warning"
LevelError Level = "error"
LevelFatal Level = "fatal"
)Describes the severity of the event.
type Request struct {
URL string `json:"url,omitempty"`
Method string `json:"method,omitempty"`
Data string `json:"data,omitempty"`
QueryString string `json:"query_string,omitempty"`
Cookies string `json:"cookies,omitempty"`
Headers map[string]string `json:"headers,omitempty"`
Env map[string]string `json:"env,omitempty"`
}Request contains information on a HTTP request related to the event.
NewRequest returns a new Sentry Request from the given http.Request.
NewRequest avoids operations that depend on network access. In particular, it does not read r.Body.
type Scope struct {
// contains filtered or unexported fields
}Scope holds contextual data for the current scope.
The scope is an object that can cloned efficiently and stores data that is locally relevant to an event. For instance the scope will hold recorded breadcrumbs and similar information.
The scope can be interacted with in two ways. First, the scope is routinely updated with information by functions such as AddBreadcrumb which will modify the current scope. Second, the current scope can be configured through the ConfigureScope function or Hub method of the same name.
The scope is meant to be modified but not inspected directly. When preparing an event for reporting, the current client adds information from the current scope into the event.
NewScope creates a new Scope.
func (scope *Scope) AddBreadcrumb(breadcrumb *Breadcrumb, limit int)
AddBreadcrumb adds new breadcrumb to the current scope and optionally throws the old one if limit is reached.
func (scope *Scope) AddEventProcessor(processor EventProcessor)
AddEventProcessor adds an event processor to the current scope.
ApplyToEvent takes the data from the current scope and attaches it to the event.
Clear removes the data from the current scope. Not safe for concurrent use.
ClearBreadcrumbs clears all breadcrumbs from the current scope.
Clone returns a copy of the current scope with all data copied over.
RemoveContext removes a context from the current scope.
RemoveExtra removes a extra from the current scope.
RemoveTag removes a tag from the current scope.
SetContext adds a context to the current scope.
SetContexts assigns multiple contexts to the current scope.
SetExtra adds an extra to the current scope.
SetExtras assigns multiple extras to the current scope.
SetFingerprint sets new fingerprint for the current scope.
SetLevel sets new level for the current scope.
SetRequest sets the request for the current scope.
SetRequestBody sets the request body for the current scope.
This method should only be called when the body bytes are already available in memory. Typically, the request body is buffered lazily from the Request.Body from SetRequest.
SetTag adds a tag to the current scope.
SetTags assigns multiple tags to the current scope.
SetTransaction sets new transaction name for the current transaction.
SetUser sets the user for the current scope.
