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."

"@type": "Answer",
"text": " 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."

} Whether you’re taming Python’s processing power or controlling JavaScript’s flow through Node.js, backend infrastructures are as complex as they are valuable. The average cost of network downtime is around $5,600 per minute — or $300,000 per hour. 1 out of 5 online shoppers will abandon their cart because the transaction process was too slow. On average, a two-second slowdown in page load decreases revenues by 4.3 percent. You can't monitor what you can't see. And there’s a lot you need to see in your backend infrastructure, from third-party API data to authentication middleware and data management systems. By giving you complete visibility of your systems no matter where they live, backend monitoring gives you the most complete picture of your infrastructure. Your application’s performance depends on how well you handle network latency. It’s why monitoring how you utilize servers, networks, database instances and storage is critical toward working in a proactive — and not reactive — state. Humans are visual creatures. Compilers, not so much. Error monitoring captures, aggregates and deciphers your error logs in one complete view so you’re able to identify key trends and implement future improvements.

Here’s a quick look at how Sentry handles your personal information (PII). We collect PII about people browsing our website, users of the Sentry service, prospective customers, and people who otherwise interact with us. What if my PII is included in data sent to Sentry by a Sentry customer (e.g., someone using Sentry to monitor their app)? In this case you have to contact the Sentry customer (e.g., the maker of the app). We do not control the data that is sent to us through the Sentry service for the purposes of application monitoring. We may disclose your PII to the following type of recipients: You may have the following rights related to your PII: If you have any questions or concerns about your privacy at Sentry, please email us at [email protected].
