FAQPage Schema
How do I set up Sentry performance monitoring for my application?

Sentry tracing tracks transactions and spans across JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, and Ruby applications by capturing distributed traces, allowing you to measure latency and identify performance bottlenecks across services.

How do I enable distributed tracing to measure latency across my Python and Ruby services?

Sentry tracing tracks transactions and spans across JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, and Ruby applications by capturing distributed traces, allowing you to measure latency and identify performance bottlenecks across services.

Can I use Sentry tracing with my existing JavaScript and TypeScript project?

Yes, Sentry tracing supports automatic platform detection for JavaScript and TypeScript projects, guiding you through the configuration process to track API response times and application performance.

What is the best way to configure transaction sampling rates when adding Sentry performance monitoring?

The best way to configure sampling rates is to follow the skill's guidance on custom instrumentation, which helps you balance capturing enough transactions for performance insights without overwhelming your data volume.

How do I add custom instrumentation to track specific API response times in Sentry?

You add custom instrumentation by utilizing the platform-specific SDK configuration provided for JavaScript, Python, or Ruby, allowing you to capture custom spans for specific API endpoints and response times.
