Summary

The Sentry data source plugin for Grafana enhances code observability by integrating Sentry's capabilities with Grafana's visualization tools, allowing development teams to efficiently identify and resolve application issues. Sentry provides developers with real-time alerts and detailed context on crashes, slowdowns, and errors, enabling faster troubleshooting and resolution. By combining Sentry's issue data with other tools and data sources in Grafana, users can monitor critical issues, measure team effectiveness, and improve application health and team velocity. This collaboration between Grafana Labs and Sentry aims to break down silos and improve user satisfaction, with plans for continued development and feature enhancement. The plugin is open source, available for free, and can be installed to visualize Sentry issues alongside other observability and business data, such as sales metrics from data warehouses like Snowflake.
