Dropwizard Raven

Dropwizard integration for error logging to Sentry.

Usage

The Dropwizard Raven provides an AppenderFactory which is automatically registered in Dropwizard and will send errors to Sentry.

Logging startup errors

In order to log startup errors (i.e. before the RavenAppenderFactory has been properly initialized), the Dropwizard application has to run the RavenBootstrap.bootstrap() in its main method and set a custom UncaughtExceptionHandler for the main thread.

public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
    RavenBootstrap.bootstrap(DSN);
    Thread.currentThread().setUncaughtExceptionHandler(UncaughtExceptionHandlers.systemExit());

    new MyDropwizardApplication().run(args);
}

Configuration

The Logback SentryAppender can be configured using the provided RavenConfiguration class which basically mirrors the appender configuration outlined in raven-logback.

Include the raven appender in your config.yml:

appenders:
  - type: raven
    threshold: ERROR
    dsn: https://user:[email protected]/appid
    environment: production
    extraTags: foo,bar,baz
    ravenFactory: com.example.RavenFactory
    release: 1.0.0
    serverName: 10.0.0.1
    tags: tag:value,tag2:value
