How to add Sentry monitoring to a Spring project

Question

I looked at the Documentation and some Github examples about adding Sentry logging and monitoring to a Spring project.

Does anyone have an example or a link that can help me with that?

I got it to work.

These are the exact steps you have to follow:

1. In your pom.xml, add the following dependency for Sentry. (I am using Logback):

   <dependency>
       <groupId>io.sentry</groupId>
       <artifactId>sentry-logback</artifactId>
       <version>1.7.16</version>
   </dependency>
   

2. For reference (this is just for testing purposes), go in settings, click Client Settings in the SDK setup and get your dsn URL.

3. After that, make a file in src/resources named sentry.properties and add the following to it:dsn=<YOUR_DSN_URL>.

4. Make a logback.xml file (if it doesn't already exist) and add the following configuration to it:

<configuration scan="true" debug="true">
<property name="app.name" value="MyApp"/>

<appender name="CONSOLE" class="ch.qos.logback.core.ConsoleAppender">
    <encoder>
        <pattern>%d{ISO8601} [%thread] %-5level %logger{40}: %msg%n</pattern>
    </encoder>
</appender>

<appender name="Sentry" class="io.sentry.logback.SentryAppender">
    <filter class="ch.qos.logback.classic.filter.ThresholdFilter">
        <level>WARN</level>
    </filter>
</appender>

<root level="INFO">
    <appender-ref ref="CONSOLE"/>
    <appender-ref ref="Sentry"/>
</root>

</configuration>
