Working with Sentry

Opening Sentry and signing in

1. Open the project overview in the platform and click the Sentry tile – it leads directly to your Sentry project on sentry.doppelt-digital.com.
2. Sign in with the same account you use for the platform and GitLab.

Reading errors

Each entry (issue) in Sentry groups similar errors and shows you:

• Stack trace – where in the code the error occurs.
• Frequency and affected users – how urgent the problem is.
• Release version – from which release the error appears. The versions match the automatically assigned versions of your pipeline (see Operations).
• Context – device, operating system, browser, and the last actions before the error.

Typical flow after a release

1. After the prod release, briefly open the Sentry project.
2. Check new issues since the release – Sentry groups them by release version.
3. Fix the error, commit, merge – the next release resolves the issue.
4. For critical errors: roll out the previous version again, see Operations.
