Summary

Sentry has launched a major update to its Java SDK, which includes automatic error grouping, alerting, breadcrumbs, and more, specifically designed for Spring Boot applications. The new integration with Logback allows for seamless forwarding of error logs to Sentry, while also collecting breadcrumb events with log levels lower than error. To configure Sentry in a Spring Boot application, developers can add the `sentry-spring-boot-starter` dependency and set the `sentry.dsn` property, which enables real-time reporting of unhandled exceptions and detailed metadata. The integration also supports attaching release information, such as Git commit IDs, and user data, including cookies and IP addresses, with optional configuration. Additionally, Sentry integrates with other frameworks like Log4j2 and traditional non-Spring servlet applications.
