Sparrow

---

Sentry client for Elixir based on the new Erlang's logger. Requires Erlang 21.0 and Elixir 1.7 and later.

• Installation

Features

• Listen for events in logger (instead of deprecated error_logger and Logger);
• Uses reducers to handle formatted erlang reports, like for Ranch (you can use your own reducers);
• Custom HTTP client implementations via configuration (hackney by default);

---

Installation

1. Add sparrrow to your list of dependencies in mix.exs:

   def deps do
     [
       {:sparrow, "~> 1.0"}
     ]
   end

2. Add configuration to your app:

   # config/config.exs
   
   config :sparrow,
     dsn: "your_sentry_dsn",
     # optional configuration
     server_name: "server_name",
     release: "1.14.3-rc.3",
     tags: %{
       some: "of",
       your: "tags",
     }

---

Usage

After installation and configuration, Sparrow will catch the error reports in your app. But there are some insignificant (for most of us) features that are not documented yet, like custom reducers and HTTP client.

Every Logger.error call captured too in Elixir 1.11.x and better, but you can disable this behaviour by providing sparrow: false in metadata, like:

Logger.error("message", sparrow: false)
