Summary

The Sentry Java SDK is a widely adopted logging framework that provides integration with the popular JVM dependency managers Maven and others, making it easy to choose the right one for your application. The SDK offers several logging integrations, including logback, Log4j, and Log4j 2, which can be used to send events to a Sentry server, providing a unified logging API that can be used with any backing implementation. When choosing a logging framework, developers should consider the ease of use, control over reporting configuration, and compatibility with other libraries in their application. The Sentry Java SDK also provides additional features such as HTTP request details, mapped diagnostic context, asynchronous logging, and support for multiple JVM languages including Clojure, Scala, Kotlin, and Groovy.
