Package description

What is @sentry/node?

The @sentry/node package is a tool designed for real-time monitoring and fixing crashes in Node.js applications. It provides error tracking and performance monitoring, helping developers to quickly identify, diagnose, and fix problems in their applications. Sentry integrates seamlessly with your existing codebase, offering a range of features to enhance application reliability and user experience.

What are @sentry/node's main functionalities?

Error Tracking

Automatically capture exceptions and errors in your Node.js applications. The code initializes Sentry with your project's DSN and demonstrates how an uncaught exception is automatically reported to Sentry.

const Sentry = require('@sentry/node');
Sentry.init({ dsn: 'YOUR_DSN_HERE' });

app.get('/', function mainHandler(req, res) {
  throw new Error('Broke!');
});

Performance Monitoring

Track the performance of your application, including request times and slow operations. This code sample starts a transaction, simulates an operation with a timeout, and then finishes the transaction, which is then reported to Sentry for performance analysis.

const Sentry = require('@sentry/node');
const transaction = Sentry.startTransaction({ op: 'test', name: 'My First Test Transaction' });

setTimeout(() => {
  transaction.finish();
}, 99);

Custom Event Capturing

Send custom messages or events to Sentry. This is useful for capturing non-exception events that are significant for your application's health monitoring and diagnostics.

const Sentry = require('@sentry/node');

Sentry.captureMessage('Something went wrong', 'error');

Changelog

Source

8.4.0

Important Changes

  • feat(nextjs): Trace pageloads in App Router (#12157)

If you are using Next.js version 14.3.0-canary.64 or above, the Sentry Next.js SDK will now trace clientside pageloads with React Server Components. This means, that client-side errors like Error: An error occurred in the Server Components render., which previously didn't give you much information on how that error was caused, can now be traced back to a specific error in a server component.

  • feat(angular): Add Support for Angular 18 (#12183)

This release guarantees support for Angular 18 with @sentry/angular.

Other Changes

  • feat(deps): Bump @opentelemetry/instrumentation-aws-lambda from 0.41.0 to 0.41.1 (#12078)
  • fix(metrics): Ensure string values are interpreted for metrics (#12165)

Official Sentry SDK for Node

Installation

npm install @sentry/node

# Or yarn
yarn add @sentry/node

Usage

// CJS Syntax
const Sentry = require('@sentry/node');

  // ...
});

Note that it is necessary to initialize Sentry before you import any package that may be instrumented by us.

More information on how to set up Sentry for Node in v8.

ESM Support

Due to the way OpenTelemetry handles instrumentation, this only works out of the box for CommonJS (require) applications.

There is experimental support for running OpenTelemetry with ESM ("type": "module"):

node --experimental-loader=@opentelemetry/instrumentation/hook.mjs ./app.js

You'll need to install @opentelemetry/instrumentation in your app to ensure this works.

See OpenTelemetry Instrumentation Docs for details on this - but note that this is a) experimental, and b) does not work with all integrations.
