Java Error Monitoring with Complete Stack Traces

See Java stack trace details like filename and line number so you never have to guess. Filter and group Java exceptions intuitively to eliminate noise. Monitor errors at scale without impacting throughput in production.

Java Performance Monitoring

Quickly identify Java performance issues before they become downtime. View the entire end-to-end distributed trace to see the exact, poor-performing API call and surface any related errors.

Fill In The Blanks About Java Errors

Expose the important events that led to each Java exception: debug logs, network requests, database queries, past errors.

See the Full Picture of Any Java Exception

With Sentry's exceptional exception handling in Java, you can triage quickly based on specific parameters like HTTP request, workflow stage, and hostname for each issue. Set custom tags to recreate the error environment relevant to your app, business concerns, and users.

FAQs

Traditional logging provides you with a trail of events. Some of those events are errors, but many times they're simply informational. Sentry is fundamentally different because we focus on exceptions, or in other words, we capture application crashes. We discuss in more detail here and on our blog.

When Spring Boot is configured to generate Git information every event triggered by Sentry will have a release field set to the current Git commit ID that will enable Monitor Release Health Sentry feature. More details here.

You can get started for free. Pricing depends on the number of monthly events, transactions, and attachments that you send Sentry. For more details, visit our pricing page.
