Best practice for forwarding webhook errors to Sentry?
I noticed one of my webhooks (HTTP actions) is erroring out, but I didn't get any kind of notification about it -- I only noticed because the data looked wrong on the frontend. Is there a way for Convex to notify me when this happens? If not, what's the best way to hook up Sentry here? In order to use
@sentry/node, it seems I'd have to switch to the Node.js runtime -- is that the best practice?10 Replies
Baked-in Sentry support is in progress right now, it'll be "paste in your Sentry key and you're good to go."
re notifying from Convex, the slickest you can do today is using log streaming with DataDog ir similar or a command line log tail process that notices errors. https://docs.convex.dev/production/log-streams

Glad to hear it re: baked-in! For now should I just move to the Node runtime and use Sentry in that case?
As I am sans DataDog for now 🐕
@sentry/node is a bit awkward to get to work nicely in serverless runtimes, since the package internally buffers and flushes events using exit handlers. This is why @sentry/serverless exists, but alas there is no Convex client here yet.
If you want to use @sentry/node, you should be able to manually await the Sentry base client's flush method at the end of function invocations to be sure that the internal buffers are flushedIf you're without Datadog, I'd highly recommend Axiom https://axiom.co/ ! They have a generous free tier and are super easy to use

Thanks @rkbh@ballingt ! I don't think I can add another tool right now, so I may give it a shot with
@sentry/node (thanks for the tip about flush !) unless you feel like the Convex-Sentry integration is likely to launch pretty soon. As always thanks for jumping on Discord and helping us devs out, it's an awesome experience working with ConvexHoping to get out a built in sentry within a week or so, in case that timeline is helpful to you.
Incredible!
Thank you for that, I can hold out for a week 😄
You caught us right when we’re almost done - just a few finishing touches
I’ll message you here when it’s out!
Don't rush on my account, that's great to hear! Thank you again!
