Integrate Sentry with Amazon SNS

Sentry

Sentry is a real-time error tracking and aggregating platform. It is a Sentry product by Python’s open source library. It can be used to detect errors from any part of your application, capture the stack trace, and send the reports to Sentry. The users of Sentry can view these errors, analyze them, and build tops to reduce their occurrences.

Amazon SNS

Amazon Simple Notification Service (SNS. is a fast, flexible, fully managed push messaging service that lets you send individual messages or subscriptions to mobile devices or email addresses at a low cost. With SNS you can create topics and send messages to them, which other services can subscribe to. By integrating Sentry and SNS together, the developers can easily integrate error notifications from their applications into SNS topics for receiving messages.

Integration of Sentry and Amazon SNS

Sentry provides a built-in integration with SNS. In order to use it, you should configure your project to launch itself on exceptions by using the fplowing configuration settings:

project_id = 'YOUR_PROJECT_ID' sentry_project_id = 'YOUR_SENTRY_PROJECT_ID' sentry_api_key = 'YOUR_API_KEY' sentry_sns_topic_name = 'YOUR_SNS_TOPIC_NAME' sentry_sns_topic_region = 'YOUR_SNS_TOPIC_REGION'

After configuring the settings mentioned above, Sentry will send an error notification to SNS whenever your application fails. However, you can also configure these settings manually in your sentry.yaml file. After configuring the settings mentioned above, you should configure your topic in SNS with the fplowing information:

Topic name. Topic name which you want to receive the notifications in the form of topic-arn

Topic region. Region identifier which you want to receive the notifications in the form of region-identifier
