Sentry 201: Making Sentry More Useful
This 3-part workshop series covers everything already included in your Sentry subscription and how to actually use it.
Sessions
1 Session 1: Integrations & Sampling That Won't Surprise You (July 14th)
You set up Sentry. Errors are flowing in. You'd call it instrumented. We'd call it a start. When something breaks, you should know what failed, which commit caused it, who owns it, and what the user saw — without jumping between tools or getting surprised by your bill. Most teams are closer to that than they think. This is the 201 session for teams who got Sentry firing events and stopped there.
- Set up Slack and Linear so your team gets alerted with full context
- Configure Metric Monitors to catch regressions before your users do
- Tune sampling so you control the noise and nothing in your bill catches you off guard
2 Session 2: Better agent performance with Sentry context and AI tools (July 21st)
Agents are pretty good at fixing your apps. We can make them even better. In this workshop we're going to show you how to give your agents superpowers using Seer, the Sentry MCP server, and CLI tool.
- Teach agents how to best implement and work with Sentry through agent skills and the CLI tool
- Use the Sentry MCP server and Seer to generate a root cause analysis and proposed fix for Sentry issues
- Set up Seer's agent handoff feature for Claude, Cursor, or GitHub Copilot and have agents start automatically generating pull requests for fixes
3 Session 3: How To Debug With Traces, Logs & Metrics (July 28th)
This workshop goes beyond the basics to show you how to monitor critical experiences in your application with workflows using dashboards, tracing, logs, and metrics.
- Customize dashboards and alerts that surface meaningful signal on your most critical experiences
- Pivot from a dashboard widget or alert straight into the related traces and logs to cut mean-time-to-resolution
- Use application metrics to answer questions about performance across your app
- Query spans and logs by attribute to understand the root cause of problems you didn't anticipate
