Apollo-Plugin-Sentry

An Apollo Plugin for Sentry Monitoring 🔍

Tracking Errors in Apollo GraphQL with Sentry

How it works

Apollo server uses lifecycle events, enabling us to easily instrument an app for sentry integration.

Here's a visual diagram of the flow of lifecycle events. Learn more at the Apollo Plugin Docs 📚

Install

# yarn
yarn add @pointblankdev/apollo-plugin-sentry

# npm
npm install @pointblankdev/apollo-plugin-sentry

Usage

• To get started, you need to have a Sentry DSN which you can get here. This value should be assigned to the SENTRY_DSN environment variable.
• Make sure you have the ENV variable set so Sentry knows which environment to use for tracking your errors

Pre 0.0.6

• Import the package and pass an array containing the variable to the plugin options of your Apollo Server and you're good to go 🚀

  const {
    sentryPlugin,
  } = require('@pointblankdev/apollo-plugin-sentry');

  const server = new ApolloServer({
      ...,
      plugins: [sentryPlugin],
  });

>= 0.0.6

• Import the package, initialize it by calling it with an optional service name, pass the result to the plugin options of your Apollo Server and you're good to go

  const {
    sentryPlugin,
  } = require('@pointblankdev/apollo-plugin-sentry');
  
  const plugin = sentryPlugin('my-repo');

  const server = new ApolloServer({
      ...,
      plugins: [plugin],
  });

• The service name is added as a service_name tag in your error reporting, therefore making it much easier to identify individual services at first glance when you have a project that serves multiple services.
