PHP Error Monitoring

Actionable insights to resolve PHP performance bottlenecks and errors. See the full picture of any PHP exception with a clear workflow to create an efficient PHP debugging process.

Getting Started is Simple

Install the sentry/sentry package with Composer:

Copied!Click to Copy
composer require sentry/sentry

To capture all errors, even the one during the startup of your application, you should initialize the Sentry PHP SDK as soon as possible.

Copied!Click to Copy
\Sentry\init(['dsn' => 'https://<key>@sentry.io/<project>',
    // Specify a fixed sample rate:
    'traces_sample_rate' => 0.2,
    // Or provide a custom sampler:
    'traces_sampler' => function (\Sentry\Tracing\SamplingContext $context): float {
        // return a number between 0 and 1
    }, ]);

Install the sentry/sentry-laravel package with Composer:

Copied!Click to Copy
composer require sentry/sentry-laravel

Add Sentry reporting to bootstrap/app.php:

Copied!Click to Copy
<?php

use Illuminate\Foundation\Application;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Configuration\Exceptions;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Configuration\Middleware;
use Sentry\Laravel\Integration;

return Application::configure(basePath: dirname(__DIR__))
    ->withRouting(...)
    ->withMiddleware(function (Middleware $middleware) { /* ... */ })
    ->withExceptions(function (Exceptions $exceptions) {
        Integration::handles($exceptions);
    })->create();

Enable Sentry Tracing in config/sentry.php:

Copied!Click to Copy
'traces_sample_rate' => 0.2,
// Or provide a custom sampler:
'traces_sampler' => function (\Sentry\Tracing\SamplingContext $context): float {
    // return a number between 0 and 1
},

Run this Artisan command to configure the Sentry DSN:

Copied!Click to Copy
php artisan sentry:publish --dsn=<paste-your-DSN-here>

Install the sentry/sentry-symfony bundle with Composer:

Copied!Click to Copy
composer require sentry/sentry-symfony

Add your DSN to .env:

Copied!Click to Copy
###> sentry/sentry-symfony ###
SENTRY_DSN="<paste-your-DSN-here>"
###< sentry/sentry-symfony ###

PHP Error Monitoring with Complete Stack Traces

See local variables in the stack for prod errors, just like in your dev environment. Explore the full source code context with frame to function data. Filter and group PHP exceptions intuitively to eliminate noise.

Fill In the Blanks About PHP Errors

Expose the important events that led to each PHP exception: warnings, past errors, custom breadcrumbs. Get a full view of releases so you can mark errors as resolved and prioritize live issues.

"As we ship code, which we do at least daily, I'm constantly staring at Sentry."

Debugging Any PHP Exception

Aggregate errors by factors like request details, user ID, and app versions to see what's new, a priority or a trend.

Assign custom key-value tags to reproduce the error environment specific to your application, business, and users.

Answer the most important questions: How actionable is the error? Can I snooze the alert?

FAQs

Traditional logging provides you with a trail of events. Some of those events are errors, but many times they're simply informational. Sentry is fundamentally different because we focus on exceptions, or in other words, we capture application crashes. We discuss in more detail here and on our blog.

Sentry supports every major language, framework, and library. You can browse each of them here.

You can get started for free. Pricing depends on the number of monthly events, transactions, and attachments that you send Sentry. For more details, visit our pricing page.

Sentry doesn't impact a web site's performance.

If you look at the configuration options for when you initialize Sentry in your code, you'll see there's nothing regarding minimizing its impact on your app's performance. This is because our team of SDK engineers already developed Sentry with this in mind.

Sentry is a listener/handler for errors that asynchronously sends out the error/event to Sentry.io. This is non-blocking. The error/event only goes out if this is an error.

Global handlers have almost no impact as well, as they are native APIs provided by the browsers.
