Sentry Installation in local

Sentry is error logging, aggregation and tracking package. (for both server side, and client side)

mkvirtualenv sentry

workon sentry

pip install sentry --upgrade

sentry init

It will ask for creating conf file in your parent user dir. e.g. /Users//.sentry/sentry.conf.py

vi /home//.sentry/sentry.conf.py > you can review the file

Set SENTRY_ADMIN_EMAIL and SENTRY_URL_PREFIX

SENTRY_ADMIN_EMAIL : ‘your@email.com’

SENTRY_URL_PREFIX: ‘http://127.0.0.1:9000’

easy_install -UZ sentry[postgres]

Creates postgres db for sentry

sentry --config=/home//.sentry/sentry.conf.py upgrade

you may run into issue with redis connectivity - 127.0.0.1:6379. Connection refused

Check if redis is running -

$ redis-cli

Could not connect to Redis at 127.0.0.1:6379: Connection refused

not connected>

That means redis is not running, open another terminal and run following command -

$ redis-server

Now if you run the previous command again -

$ redis-cli

redis 127.0.0.1:6379>

Now try to run the upgrade command -

It fails with following error -

Incompatible library version: etree.so requires version 12.0.0 or later, but libxml2.2.dylib provides version 10.0.0

the issue is with libxml2, I resolved using this stack overflow thread -

brew install libxml2

brew install libxslt

brew link libxml2 --force

brew link libxslt --force

It will create all required tables, default user (select it as super user)

Now start sentry -

sentry start

Go to http://127.0.0.1:9000/ to access the local sentry. Get configuration and setup in your project to see the errors get logged on this local sentry instance.

Happy logging!
