Summary

Sentry has recently launched a major update to its Java SDK, which provides automatic error grouping, alerting, breadcrumbs, and more for developers building applications with Spring Boot. The new integration takes only a minute to configure, adding HTTP request metadata to each exception, attaching it to the release, and decorating errors with info or debug events. It also seamlessly integrates with Logback, forwarding error logs to Sentry and collecting breadcrumbs from log entries with lower logging levels. Additionally, the SDK allows developers to attach user information such as name, cookies, and IP address to events, while also providing a way to identify problematic commits through its Releases product. The update is available in two steps: adding the sentry-spring-boot-starter dependency to pom.xml and setting the sentry.dsn property in applications.properties.
