How do I include tags in the new @sentry/node API?

Question

Before '@sentry/node' was released, I used the raven module. Including tags with all of my errors was as simple as including a tags property in the options object when configuring Raven.

Raven.config(DSN, {
  tags: {...}
})

How do I include tags when using the new API? So far I've tried:

Sentry.init({
    dsn: DSN,
    tags: {
        process_name: 'webserver',
    },
})

and

Sentry.configureScope(scope => {
    scope.setTag('process_name', 'webserver')
})

but neither attempt works.

You've to use Sentry.configureScope, but as mentioned in the sdk docs Note that these functions will not perform any action before you have called init().

This should work, otherwise you would have to contact sentry:

const Sentry = require('@sentry/node');

Sentry.init({
  dsn: '__DSN__',
  // ...
});

Sentry.configureScope(scope => {
  scope.setExtra('battery', 0.7);
  scope.setTag('user_mode', 'admin');
  scope.setUser({ id: '4711' });
  // scope.clear();
});
