Logback Error Monitoring

Debug Logback apps and prevent crashes across your entire stack with Sentry. Improve your Logback monitoring workflow with a full view of releases so you can triage errors and prioritize live issues.

Getting Started is Simple

Grab the Sentry Java SDK:

XML
<dependency>
  <groupId>io.sentry</groupId>
  <artifactId>sentry-logback</artifactId>
  <version>8.56.0</version>
</dependency>

Configure your DSN:

XML
<appender name="Sentry" class="io.sentry.logback.SentryAppender">
  <options>
      <!-- NOTE: Replace the test DSN below with YOUR OWN DSN to see the events from this app in your Sentry project/dashboard -->
      <dsn>https://<key>@sentry.io/<project></dsn>
  </options>
</appender>

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.

The Sentry Java SDK supports Java 1.8 and above, and works with Kotlin, Scala and other JVM languages. It ships dedicated integrations for Spring Boot, Spring, Servlet, Logback, Log4j 2.x and java.util.logging, and there is a dedicated Kotlin guide.

Gradle and Maven plugins upload source context so your stack traces show the surrounding code, and there is an OpenTelemetry agent if you already run an OTel pipeline.

Yes. Sentry Logs lets you send, view, and query structured logs from your application alongside your errors and traces. Because logs sit next to the error and the trace that produced them, you get the granular context — retries, API failures, internal state — that spans and stack traces alone can miss, without switching tools.

Seer is Sentry's AI debugging agent. It reads the full context Sentry already has — the error, its stack trace, the surrounding trace, logs, and profiles — to find the root cause of an issue and propose a fix. Seer can open a pull request with that fix, hand the work to an external coding agent, or review your PRs before they ship.
