FAQPage Schema

How do I enable Sentry performance monitoring and tracing for my application?▼

To enable Sentry performance monitoring, configure the Sentry SDK for JavaScript, Python, or Ruby to activate tracing. This setup tracks application transactions and measures latency to help identify bottlenecks.

Can I instrument custom operations and measure specific latency using Sentry tracing?▼

Yes, Sentry tracing allows you to implement custom spans to instrument specific operations within your application. This enables detailed performance analysis and precise latency measurement for critical code paths.

Does Sentry tracing support JavaScript, Python, and Ruby environments?▼

Sentry tracing supports JavaScript, Python, and Ruby environments. You can configure the respective Sentry SDKs in these languages to facilitate transaction tracking and distributed tracing propagation.

How do I control the volume of trace data sent to Sentry?▼

You can control the volume of trace data sent to Sentry by implementing dynamic sampling strategies. This allows you to manage performance monitoring costs while maintaining sufficient visibility into application latency.

What is distributed tracing propagation in Sentry and when do I need it?▼

Distributed tracing propagation in Sentry connects transactions across multiple services to measure end-to-end latency. You need it when tracking user requests that span distributed application boundaries to identify bottlenecks accurately.
