How to add application version information to Sentry information

Premise

The application uses Sentry to detect error information.

Language and framework

• Java 8
• Spring Boot(Maven)

Overview

I want to be able to check which version of the application the error information sent to Sentry is for the error.

merit

--You can identify the application version of the error that occurred at a glance. --On the Sentry screen, you will be able to search the list of errors that occurred in a specific version as follows.

Prerequisites

--The application version is defined. --The version is updated with each release.

Send the following definition file in <version> to Sentry. This time, we will send the version information to Sentry as a tag.

Definition file

pom.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project xmls="~">
　　　　　：
	<groupId>com.example</groupId>
	<artifactId>myproject</artifactId>
	<version>100.0.100</version>
　　　　　：
</project>

Correction procedure

Make corrections in the following order.

1. Add dependency
2. Add endpoint
3. Add information to display on the endpoint
4. Addition of transmission process to Sentry

1. Add dependency

pom.xml

    <dependencies>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
            <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-actuator</artifactId>
        </dependency>
    </dependencies>

2. Add endpoint

application.yml

management:
  endpoints:
    web:
      exposure:
        include: "info"
      base-path: "/"

Change the base-path according to your environment.

3. Add information to display on the endpoint

application.yml

info:
  application:
    version: @project.version@

With the settings up to this point, you can check the version information set in the steps up to this point by accessing http: // localhost: 8080 / info as shown below.

{"application":{"version":"100.0.100"}}

4. Addition of transmission process to Sentry

Configuration file: Add the following processing to the class in which @SpringBootApplication annotation is set.

• If you have already implemented the process of sending to Sentry, please add the process related to version. (Addition of arguments and transmission of tag.)
• The return type is

  @Bean
  public HandlerExceptionResolver sentryExceptionResolver(
    @Value("${sentry.url:#{null}}") Optional<String> sentryUrl,
    @Value("${info.application.version:#{null}}") Optional<String> appVersion) {

    if (sentryUrl.isPresent()) {
      try {
        SentryClient sentryClient = Sentry.init(sentryUrl.get());
        //Here, version information is added as a tag.
        appVersion.ifPresent(s -> sentryClient.addTag("version", s));
      } catch (InvalidDsnException e) {
        LOGGER.warn(e.getMessage(), e);
      }
    }
    return new SentryExceptionResolverImpl();
  }

• Sentry.url is also defined in ʻapplication.yml in the same way as ʻinfo.application.version.

After setting

After completing the above settings, if an error occurs in the application, the following version tag will be displayed. By clicking the numerical part of version, you can check the search results mentioned as the merit at the beginning.
