To add Sentry error monitoring to your Go application, integrate the Sentry Go SDK to automatically capture panics, unhandled exceptions, and reported errors. This enables immediate production alerts and detailed event capture for debugging.

Yes, the Sentry Go SDK supports distributed tracing and error tracking for web frameworks like Gin, Echo, Fiber, Fasthttp, and Iris. This allows you to track requests as they flow through your application and across microservices.

Yes, you can send structured logs to Sentry for easier debugging and analysis. The Sentry Go SDK integrates with logging libraries including Logrus, Zap, Zerolog, and slog to facilitate automated error reporting and performance monitoring.

The best way to trace requests across Go microservices using Sentry is by implementing the Sentry Go SDK with distributed tracing. It tracks request flows through your application and across services, providing detailed trace analysis to resolve production issues.

You do not strictly need OpenTelemetry to use Sentry for performance monitoring in Go, as the Sentry Go SDK provides built-in tracing. However, the SDK includes an OpenTelemetry integration for combining Sentry event capture with existing tracing infrastructure.
