Raven

Raven/Sentry integration for Meteor. Includes Raven.js for frontend logging and raven-node for backend logging.

Provides consolidated error logging to Sentry via Raven from both the client and the server.

Although this is a fork of dVelopment/meteor-raven and deepwell/meteor-raven the API is completely differently!

Usage

Grab your client keys (DSN) from your project settings in Sentry. I recommend saving them in Meteor's setting.json:

  {
    // ...
    "sentryPrivateDSN": "https://public_key@app.getsentry.com/app_id",
    "public": {
      // ...
      // public key has to be available from the client!
      "sentryPublicDSN": "https://public_key:private_key@app.getsentry.com/app_id"
    }
  }

Now you can initialize the RavenLogger:

import { Meteor } from 'meteor/meteor';
import RavenLogger from 'meteor/flowkey:raven';

// ...

export const ravenLogger = new RavenLogger({
  publicDSN: Meteor.settings.public.sentryPublicDSN, // will be used on the client
  privateDSN: Meteor.settings.sentryPrivateDSN, // will be used on the server
  shouldCatchConsoleError: true, // default
  trackUser: false, // default
}, ravenOptions);

// ...

You can pass options for raven directly into the client. Which parameters are accepted can be found at the Sentry docs for the Node client and the JavaScript client. The options are being passed into both clients.

If you don't want to catch errors thrown globally or using console.error set shouldCatchConsoleError to false.

If you are using the Meteor Accounts package, you can enable user tracking on errors by settings trackUser to true. It will associate the error with the user's userId.

Now you can finally log messages to Sentry!

import { ravenLogger } from './path/to/logger';

// ...

ravenLogger.log('Error transmitted using Raven.captureMessage', additionalData);
ravenLogger.log(new Error('Error transmitted using Raven.captureException'), additionalData);

If the first argument is an instanceof Error then captureException from Raven is used, otherwise captureMessage. If an error is passed, Raven will be saving full error and exception stack traces.

additionalData can be anything described in the Sentry docs.

To set tags on the whole context, use ravenLogger.setTagsContext:

ravenLogger.setTagsContext({ component: 'system' });
