FAQPage Schema
How do I set up custom metrics in Sentry for Python and JavaScript applications?▼

Setting up Sentry custom metrics involves configuring counters, gauges, and distributions using platform-specific APIs. This Skill guides you through metric types, platform detection, and SDK usage for JavaScript and Python applications to track performance and business KPIs.

What is the difference between counters, gauges, and distributions in Sentry metrics?▼

In Sentry metrics, counters track cumulative values like sign-ups, gauges measure current state like queue depth, and distributions capture value spreads like API response times. This Skill helps implement these metric types for monitoring application health and performance.

Does Sentry metrics instrumentation work with frameworks like Next.js and Django?▼

Yes, Sentry metrics instrumentation works with JavaScript frameworks like React, Next.js, and Node.js, plus Python frameworks including Django, Flask, and FastAPI. The Skill supports various SDK versions for effective application performance monitoring across these platforms.

How do I track API response times and user sign-ups using Sentry metrics?▼

To track API response times and user sign-ups using Sentry metrics, you use distribution metrics for response times and counter metrics for sign-ups. This Skill provides the API guidance needed to instrument these custom metrics within your JavaScript or Python application.

How do I instrument a Node.js application with Sentry custom metrics?▼

To instrument a Node.js application with Sentry custom metrics, you use the JavaScript SDK to configure counters, gauges, and distributions. This Skill provides platform detection and API usage guidance for adding metrics to Node.js applications.
