Sentry Observability Integration

Overview

Wire Sentry into your logging, metrics, APM, and dashboard toolchain so every error carries full context and every metric correlates back to root-cause events. This skill covers three integration layers: structured logging (winston, pino, structlog) with Sentry event ID correlation, business metrics with error-rate tracking, and cross-tool linking via Sentry Discover, Grafana webhooks, and APM tools.

Prerequisites

• Sentry SDK v8+ installed (@sentry/node for Node.js, sentry-sdk for Python)
• At least one structured logger configured (winston, pino, or structlog)
• Sentry project DSN available in environment (SENTRY_DSN)
• Dashboard platform accessible (Sentry Discover, Grafana, or Datadog)
• Alert routing strategy decided (who gets paged, where warnings go)
