Support sentry OpenTelemetry

[hieuhtr]

Hi guys,

I'm using Quarkus and sentry for error tracking, now I also want to use sentry APM on JDBC tracing too. I tried to config like this but it's not working, seems we do not have wrapper config on sentry-jul

quarkus:
    log:
        sentry:
            ~: true
            dsn: "http://xxxxxxxxxx"
            environment: production
            level: ERROR
            minimum-event-level: ERROR
            minimum-breadcrumb-level: DEBUG
            in-app-packages: '*'
            enable-tracing: true
            traces-sample-rate: 0.2

Do you guys have any plan on supporting this?

Thank you!

Hi @hieuhtr,

I don't see the enable-tracing in the current supported configuration. The other should work.

Regarding APM, we don't have any plan for this right now, but any contribution for this would be welcome!

Hey, @ia3andy first of all thank you for your support!
I just wanted to say that I am interested in APM too.
Do you have any updates on this?

TY!.

Hi, I'm also interested in having an APM support!
Thanks

You have to manually call "Sentry.startTransaction" and the like, then it should would

Can someone point me at a link to Sentry APM so I can see what we are talking about?

I think it means tracing and span metrics https://docs.sentry.io/concepts/key-terms/tracing/.
I'm interested in this functionnality and can contribute to it.

Technically it should looks like the open telemetry extension with auto span instrumentation, meaning that the Sentry APM extension should trace access to external websites, databases queries and cache access. It could also be interesting to add distributed tracing, meaning that the trace is propagated by grabbing the content of special headers like W3C's Traceparent / Bagage

Interesting since Quarkus supports all this already it should be straightforward. PR is welcome.

@Fabccc looks like we have a lot of people interested in this: #351

I wonder if we could somehow juts plug Sentry into existing Quarkus OpenTelemetry framework and get this all for free?

[melloware]

I found this doc and I think this is pretty doable! https://docs.sentry.io/platforms/javascript/guides/node/opentelemetry/custom-setup/

[melloware]

actually its this guide: https://docs.sentry.io/platforms/java/opentelemetry/setup/agentless/

[Fabccc]

Yes, I found exactly the same documentation while crawling for SDK development in Java.
I think that's a really good idea, since we can rely on a battle-tested and official extension.
I also found that you can test sentry locally using the "relay" component.

@Fabccc were you working on a PR?
