Sentry Plugin for Payload

This plugin seamlessly integrates Sentry with Payload for performance monitoring and error tracking.

Installation

yarn add @payloadcms/plugin-sentry
  # OR
  npm i @payloadcms/plugin-sentry

Basic Usage

Import sentry from '@payloadcms/plugin-sentry'
Add it to the plugins array of your Payload config
Pass in your Data Source Name (DSN)
Pass additional options - not required

import { buildConfig } from 'payload/config';
import sentry from '@payloadcms/plugin-sentry';
import { Pages, Media } from './collections';

const config = buildConfig({
  collections: [Pages, Media],
  plugins: [
    sentry({
      dsn: 'https://61edebas777889984d323d777@o4505289711681536.ingest.sentry.io/4505357433352176',
    }),
  ]
});

export default config;

Options

Data Source Name (DSN) and where to find it

dsn : string[] | required

Sentry automatically assigns a DSN when you create a project, the unique DSN informs Sentry where to send events so they are associated with the correct project.

#### :rotating_light: You can find the DSN in your project settings by navigating to [Project] > Settings > Client Keys (DSN) in sentry.io.

Additional Options

init : ClientOptions | optional

Sentry allows a variety of options to be passed into the Sentry.init() function, see the full list of options here.

requestHandler : RequestHandlerOptions | optional

Accepts options that let you decide what data should be included in the event sent to Sentry, checkout the options here.

captureErrors: number[] | optional

By default, Sentry.errorHandler will capture only errors with a status code of 500 or higher. To capture additional error codes, pass the values as numbers in an array.

You can configure any of these options by passing them to the plugin under options:

import { buildConfig } from 'payload/config';
import seo from '@payloadcms/plugin-sentry';
import { Pages, Media } from './collections';

const config = buildConfig({
  collections: [Pages, Media],
  plugins: [
    sentry({
      dsn: 'https://61edebas777889984d323d777@o4505289711681536.ingest.sentry.io/4505357433352176',
      options: {
        init: {
          debug: true,
          environment: 'development',
          tracesSampleRate: 1.0,
        },
        requestHandler: {
          serverName: false,
          user: ["email"],
        },
        captureErrors: [400, 403, 404],
      }
    }),
  ]
});

export default config;
