Monitoring Sentry with New Relic

Integrating Sentry and New Relic with your monitoring system

To integrate Sentry and New Relic with your monitoring system, please reach out to MetricFire. Book a demo with the MetricFire team to discuss integrating Sentry and New Relic and how that can support your monitoring system.

What is Sentry?

Sentry is an application monitoring platform designed for the specific purpose of monitoring performance and errors. It is intended to make life simpler for developers during the process of creating new software and apps, increasing their ability to meet deadlines with minimal stress. 

The Sentry platform enables developers to diagnose, correct, and optimize code performance quickly and efficiently, which is crucial in reducing or eliminating issues for end-users once the application reaches the marketplace. After all, the faster you can successfully diagnose issues that are slowing your app down, including bugs or security breaches, the faster you will see success. 

Sentry is a top choice for app developers, as it supports 30+ coding languages. Better still, it integrates with a variety of popular tools such as Slack, Jira, and GitHub.

At last count, Sentry is used by more than one million developers, and there are 60,000 organizations in 146 countries that rely on Sentry to maximize the quality of their software. Some of the best-known companies in the world count themselves among Sentry’s clients. Examples include Disney, Peloton, Cloudflare, and Microsoft. 

 

Sentry identifies issues and errors in software applications and alerts developers as to the root cause. Once errors have been defined, Sentry supports recovery. Sentry assists with understanding how users have been impacted by errors through the tracking of field data. This includes variable network speeds, the typical browsers being used, the digital devices, and the location of users. 

This is managed through Google’s Web Vitals, giving developers deep insight into the user experience. Users may be frustrated by slow loading times, or they may not be able to interact with the page at all. In some cases, the software performs well with certain browsers or devices, but they struggle with others. Sentry increases clients’ ability to adjust and rework in a timely manner, ensuring rapid resolution. 

MetricFire’s complete infrastructure and application monitoring platform makes it easy to integrate Sentry. Simply enable a Sentry webhook from the add-ons section of your Hosted Graphite account. MetricFire's advanced filtering lets you choose only the data views you want to see and discard the rest. You can also set up simple rules to discard data you no longer keep, plus receive alerts via email or Slack.

What is New Relic?

New Relic is a monitoring tool that can deliver useful insights about both past and real-time reliability and performance of applications. When you use this service to make sure your web or mobile app is working properly, you’ll get access to the information you need to improve app performance. Not only is New Relic compatible with all programming languages and easy to use to improve your app from anywhere, but it’s also simple to install. In fact, it takes only minutes to get it up and running so you can start getting insights today.

Some examples of the information you’ll get from New Relic include page load times, errors, browser usage, flow of web transactions, and more. When you view your dashboard, you’ll be able to see your app’s performance from the point of view of users, making it easy to detect and fix any issues right away. So if you want transparency into how your app is performing — either in real-time or historically — New Relic can help.

 

When you implement performance monitoring with New Relic, you can import all your data to a single dashboard of observability with one UI to make it easier to keep track of. Once you start monitoring performance with this tool, it can alert you to potential issues before they develop into major problems that users will notice. These features make monitoring and troubleshooting your app seamless for your team.

Best of all, New Relic integrates with popular tools like MetricFire. When you use these two tools together, you get constant monitoring of your app as MetricFire pulls your metrics for easy viewing on a custom dashboard, complete with alerts. This way, you get as much functionality as you need to ensure your app runs smoothly.
