To integrate Sentry error monitoring into a PHP application, you need to configure the SDK to capture unhandled exceptions and track performance. This skill automates the setup process by detecting your framework and guiding you through installation.

Yes, you can use Sentry for performance tracing and profiling in Laravel applications. The SDK supports automated framework detection, allowing you to monitor slow database queries, track distributed traces, and profile application performance seamlessly.

The best way to set up distributed tracing for Symfony projects is by using an SDK that automatically detects the framework and configures distributed tracing across web contexts. This approach eliminates manual boilerplate and ensures comprehensive performance monitoring.

Yes, the Sentry SDK supports cron monitoring and structured logging in plain PHP environments. It facilitates comprehensive error tracking and logging across both web and CLI contexts without requiring a specific web framework.

Automated framework detection works by identifying whether your project uses Laravel, Symfony, or plain PHP, then applying the appropriate configuration for error tracking. This ensures the Sentry SDK is initialized correctly without manual environment checks.

You should add Sentry to a legacy PHP application when you need to capture unhandled exceptions, monitor slow database queries, and track cron job health in production. It provides immediate visibility into critical issues without requiring code rewrites.
