Sentry

Spotlight is built that you don’t need Sentry to run it. It can contain any kind of integration. However, Sentry is the first integration we’ve built for Spotlight and it’s a great way to get started.

If you want your Sentry SDKs to talk to the Sidecar, enable the spotlight setting. You don’t need a dsn for Spotlight to work.

JavaScript (Browser)

In the Browser you don’t need to set spotlight: true, Spotlight.init() will automatically detect if Sentry is available and if so, hook into the SDK.

Sentry.init({
  dsn: '___DSN___',
});
// In the frontend it's important that you init Spotlight after Sentry
Spotlight.init();

Node

Caution

Requires @sentry/node version 7.82.0 or higher.

Sentry.init({
    dsn: '___DSN___',
    spotlight: process.env.NODE_ENV === "development",
});

Python

Caution

Requires sentry-sdk version 1.37.0 or higher.

sentry_sdk.init(
    dsn="___DSN___",
    # You should only load this in your development environment
    spotlight=bool(os.environ.get("DEV")),
)

PHP

Caution

Requires sentry/sentry version 4.1.0 or higher.

\Sentry\init([
    'dsn' => '___DSN___',
    // You should only load this in your development environment
    'spotlight' => App::environment(['local']),
]);

Ruby

Caution

Requires sentry-ruby version 5.15.0 or higher.

Sentry.init do |config|
    config.dsn = '___DSN___'
    # You should only load this in your development environment
    config.spotlight = Rails.env.development?
end

.NET

Caution

Requires sentry-dotnet version 4.0.0 or higher.

SentrySdk.Init(o =>
{
    o.Dsn = "___DSN___";
#if DEBUG
    // You should only load this in your development environment
    o.EnableSpotlight = true;
#endif
});
