Sentry 6.x to 7.x Upgrade Guide

upgrade.md

Bump your sentry dep

def deps do
  [
    {:sentry, "~> 7.0"},
  ]
end

Configure JSON library

Sentry 7.x allows configuring which JSON library you use, and does not install a JSON library by default. Sentry will attempt to fall back to using Jason by default, but will error if it isn't available. If you already have Jason in your dependencies, you don't have to change anything. If you are using Poison or another JSON library and would like to continue using it, Sentry must be configured to use it:

config :sentry,
  # ...
  json_library: Poison

Then run mix deps.get to get the new version of Sentry!

Replacing Sentry.Logger

If you are using Sentry.Logger, replace it with Sentry.LoggerBackend:

# application.ex
     opts = [strategy: :one_for_one, name: MyApp.Supervisor]
-    :ok = :error_logger.add_report_handler(Sentry.Logger)
+    {:ok, _} = Logger.add_backend(Sentry.LoggerBackend)
     Supervisor.start_link(children, opts)
