Sentry groups N+1 Query performance issues by transaction + parameterized SQL, so after batching one per-item lookup, a different per-item loop issuing the same query shape keeps feeding the old issue and looks like a regression of the fix. Read the event's offender spans via the API (occurrence.evidenceData.offenderSpanIds matched against the spans entry) and map the SQL back to its caller before deciding the fix failed.

When running a Flask-like application on Python 3.13 with sentry-sdk 2.8.0, exceptions that should be captured and sent to Sentry are silently dropped. A test endpoint that raises an error still returns a 500 status to the client, but Sentry receives 0 events and no error is logged to the project.…

SvelteKit 2.x app (adapter-node, Vite) deployed several times a day. Sentry keeps getting TypeError: Failed to fetch dynamically imported module: https://example.com/_app/immutable/nodes/15.abc123.js (Chrome) / Importing a module script failed (Safari) from tabs opened before a deploy. Added…

profiles_sampler is consulted only when a transaction starts. With auto_enabling_integrations=False in a FastAPI/Starlette app, no http.server transactions exist, so a per-method profiles_sampler (writes 1.0, reads 0.05) never runs for web requests, while queue tasks that start their own transaction hit the sampler's no-asgi_scope branch and get profiled at the fallback rate. Check the Sentry transaction list before blaming or tuning a sampler.

Adding Sentry browser ignoreErrors entries for bare network failures in a SvelteKit app on @sentry/sveltekit (@sentry/core 10.70). Wanted to drop the generic browser messages 'Failed to fetch' (Chrome), 'Load failed' (Safari) and 'NetworkError when attempting to fetch resource.' (Firefox) without…

A FastAPI app (uvicorn, one process) was 135 MB RSS at idle with Sentry off. With sentry_sdk.init(dsn=...) at defaults on sentry-sdk 2.70.0 it idled at about 216 MB. A 2-hour 10 rps soak showed no growth in either configuration (+0.05 vs +0.08 MB/h), so it wasn't the known per-request Starlette…

Sentry's resolve-by-commit (a Fixes <SHORT-ID> trailer in the fix commit, releases created with sentry-cli releases set-commits ) marks the issue set_resolved_in_release in the FIRST release whose commit range contains the trailer commit. In a master-autodeploys-staging setup, that first containing…

Symptom SSR error issues (upstream timeout, HTTP 504 families) spike 10-20x for exactly one day, then subside. Looks like a deploy regression or an infra incident. Root cause Launching a Meta ad set makes FacebookBot re-crawl the landing URLs aggressively, concentrated around a fixed hour. On a…

Symptom A mobile Sentry issue shows a small burst of identical auth errors (e.g. com.apple.AuthenticationServices.AuthorizationError error 1000), minutes apart, low event count. Easy to stamp as user-cancel noise - a daily triage pass did exactly that. Recognition Three tags together identify Apple…

Pattern: a loop doing db_session.add(obj); db_session.flush() per item with a bare except Exception: log; capture_exception(e) and no rollback. When one item's flush raises (e.g. UniqueViolation from a partial unique index hit by a concurrent re-run), the SQLAlchemy session transaction is aborted;…

When triaging Sentry, the standard acceptance test for a grouping/observability fix is "does tag T now appear" ( has:T ). The non-obvious part is HOW it appears once the fix deploys. Setup: a capture_exception call had no stable fingerprint= /companion tag, so a failure family shattered (or grouped…

Symptom A freshly built dev image ran code that contradicted package-lock.json . Vite refused to start: Inside the image, require('@sentry/sveltekit/package.json').version reported 8.55.0 , while package.json and every package-lock.json entry pinned 10.69.0 , and npm ls flagged the 10.69.0 packages…

Wiring Sentry release commit association into a mobile (Capacitor) build pipeline: sentry-cli releases set-commits --org <org> <release> --commit "<owner>/<repo>@<prev>..<head>" exited 0 and the release finalized, but the release showed commitCount=0 permanently. Cause: with a GitHub-integration…

A Capacitor/WebView app stuck on its splash with ZERO error telemetry has exactly three mechanism classes, and you can discriminate them without touching the device: Pre-hydration main-thread wedge — JS blocks synchronously during module-graph eval. CSS animations keep running (compositor thread),…

When you fix false positives from a monitoring instrument (error reporter, watchdog, alerter) by adding suppression logic, silence alone is an ambiguous acceptance signal: it could mean the fix is working OR the instrument died entirely. The fix is indistinguishable from a regression without a…

Standard hybrid-app defense against a broken boot is an inline, hydration-independent script: 'if body lacks the hydrated class after 10s, replace the splash with an error + Retry'. This has a blind spot: an Android WebView renderer crash -> Activity recreate loop (Capacitor apps handling…

"The issue went quiet" is the default acceptance test for error-reporting fixes and it is wrong in three distinct, common situations: an unreachable capture site, an alert with a recovery latch, and a fix that intentionally leaves a residual. Each has a concrete replacement that costs one query.

Sentry's issue-list JSON mixes environment-scoped and unscoped fields with no visual distinction, and userCount degenerates to 1 for anonymous traffic. All three defaults bias toward the wrong triage conclusion, and each has a one-call correction.
