Combatting Alert Fatigue by Prioritizing Malicious Intent
In 2023, data breaches surged 78% from zero-day and supply chain attacks, but developers are still buried under alerts that are unable to prevent these threats.
@sentry/types
Advanced tools
The @sentry/types package provides TypeScript definitions for Sentry's JavaScript SDK. It includes types for Sentry's configuration options, event objects, and various interfaces used within Sentry's SDKs. This package is primarily used by developers to ensure type safety and autocompletion when working with Sentry in a TypeScript environment.
Event Interface
Defines the structure of an event that can be sent to Sentry. This includes the event's ID, level, timestamp, platform, and SDK information.
{
event_id: string;
level: 'error' | 'warning' | 'info' | 'debug';
timestamp: number;
platform: string;
sdk: {
name: string;
version: string;
};
}
Options Interface
Specifies the options for configuring the Sentry SDK. This includes the DSN (Data Source Name), breadcrumb limits, debug mode, integrations, and a beforeSend hook for event manipulation.
{
dsn: string;
maxBreadcrumbs: number;
debug: boolean;
integrations: Integration[];
beforeSend: (event: Event) => Event | null;
}
Breadcrumb Interface
Describes a breadcrumb, which is a snapshot of data that describes what happened before an event. This includes the timestamp, message, category, level, and any additional data.
{
timestamp: number;
message: string;
category: string;
level: 'critical' | 'error' | 'warning' | 'info' | 'debug';
data: Record<string, any>;
}
Provides TypeScript definitions for Node.js. Similar to @sentry/types, it's used for type safety and autocompletion but focuses on Node.js' API rather than Sentry's.
The TypeScript language itself, which includes its compiler and type system. While not a direct alternative, it's the foundation that packages like @sentry/types build upon to provide type definitions for specific libraries.
Offers TypeScript definitions for React. Similar to @sentry/types, it aids in developing React applications with TypeScript by providing types for React's API, but it doesn't relate to error monitoring or logging.
Common types used by the Sentry JavaScript SDKs.
8.5.0
This release adds support for React 19 in the @sentry/react
SDK package.
@sentry/node/preload
hook (#12213)This release adds a new way to initialize @sentry/node
, which allows you to use the SDK with performance
instrumentation even if you cannot call Sentry.init()
at the very start of your app.
First, run the SDK like this:
node --require @sentry/node/preload ./app.js
Now, you can initialize and import the rest of the SDK later or asynchronously:
const express = require('express');
const Sentry = require('@sentry/node');
const dsn = await getSentryDsn();
Sentry.init({ dsn });
For more details, head over to the PR Description of the new feature. Our docs will be updated soon with a new guide.
