Sentry ​

Evolve reports exceptions to Sentry when the project installs sentry/sentry-laravel and sets a DSN. Evolve itself adds the context that makes a fleet of sites searchable: a site tag, an environment_type tag and a release name per deploy. The full behaviour, precedence rules and server checks are on Error Tracking; this page is the account-side checklist.

What you need ​

A Sentry project per site (or per client), its DSN, and the decision which environments report. Live always; staging is useful during a launch and noise afterwards.

Keys ​

VariableEffect
SENTRY_LARAVEL_DSNTurns reporting on. Without it nothing is sent, even with the package installed.
SENTRY_TRACES_SAMPLE_RATE and the other SENTRY_* keysStandard sentry-laravel options, see its documentation.

Set the DSN in the server .env; it is not edited in the panel. php artisan evolve:env:verify live reports a live environment without a DSN.

What Evolve adds ​

  • Tags site (the host) and environment_type (live, staging, development) on every event, so one Sentry project can hold several sites and environments and still filter cleanly.
  • Release evolve@<version>+<release directory>, so an error can be matched to the deploy that introduced it.

Verifying ​

Follow Verifying on a server: check the DSN in the live .env, send a test event from the server, and find it in Sentry filtered by the site tag.
