What is Sentry?

Sentry is a realtime event logging and aggregation platform. It specializes in monitoring errors and extracting all the information needed to do a proper post-mortem without any of the hassle of the standard user feedback loop.

How to use this image

start a sentry instance

PostgreSQL database (as recommended by upstream)

docker run --name some-sentry --link some-postgres:postgres -d sentry

MySQL database

docker run --name some-sentry --link some-mysql:mysql -d sentry

Redis buffering (recommended by upstream for any real workloads)

To enable Update Buffers using Redis, just add --link some-redis:redis to the docker run arguments of your service.

port mapping

If you'd like to be able to access the instance from the host without the container's IP, standard port mappings can be used. Just add -p 8080:9000 to the docker run arguments and then access either http://localhost:8080 or http://host-ip:8080 in a browser.

configuring the initial user

The following assumes you chose PostgreSQL. If you did not, just replace the --link entries appropriately:

docker run -it --rm --link some-postgres:postgres sentry sentry createsuperuser

Once the user is created, you must run the following to give them the proper teams/access within the database: (replace <username> here with whatever was entered as the "Username" when prompted by createsuperuser above)

docker run -it --rm --link some-postgres:postgres sentry sentry repair --owner=<username>
