Sentry JavaScript SDK Migration Docs

These docs walk through how to migrate our JavaScript SDKs through different major versions.

Upgrading from 7.x to 8.x

The main goal of version 8 is to improve our performance monitoring APIs, integrations API, and ESM support. This version is breaking because we removed deprecated APIs, restructured npm package contents, and introduced new dependencies on OpenTelemetry. Below we will outline the steps you need to take to tackle to deprecated methods.

Before updating to 8.x of the SDK, we recommend upgrading to the latest version of 7.x. You can then follow these steps remove deprecated methods in 7.x before upgrading to 8.x.

The v8 version of the JavaScript SDK requires a self-hosted version of Sentry TBD or higher (Will be chosen once first stable release of 8.x comes out).

1. Version Support changes:

Node.js: We now official support Node 14.18+ for our CJS package, and Node 18.8+ for our ESM package. This applies to @sentry/node and all of our node-based server-side sdks (@sentry/nextjs, @sentry/serverless, etc.). We no longer test against Node 8, 10, or 12 and cannot guarantee that the SDK will work as expected on these versions.

Browser: Our browser SDKs (@sentry/browser, @sentry/react, @sentry/vue, etc.) now require ES2018+ compatible browsers. This means that we no longer support IE11 (end of an era). This also means that the Browser SDK requires the fetch API to be available in the environment.

New minimum supported browsers:

  • Chrome 63
  • Edge 79
  • Safari/iOS Safari 12
  • Firefox 58
  • Opera 50
  • Samsung Internet 8.2

For IE11 support please transpile your code to ES5 using babel or similar and add required polyfills.

React: The Next.js SDK now supports React 16+

Next.js: The Next.js SDK now supports Next.js 13.2.0+

Express: Complex router setups are only properly parametrized in Node 16+.

2. Package removal

We've removed the following packages:

@sentry/hub

@sentry/hub has been removed and will no longer be published. All of the @sentry/hub exports have moved to @sentry/core.

@sentry/tracing

@sentry/tracing has been removed and will no longer be published. See below for more details.

For Browser SDKs you can import browserTracingIntegration from the SDK directly:

// v7
import * as Sentry from '@sentry/browser';
import { BrowserTracing } from '@sentry/tracing';

Sentry.init({
  dsn: '__DSN__',
  tracesSampleRate: 1.0,
  integrations: [new BrowserTracing()],
});
// v8
import * as Sentry from '@sentry/browser';

Sentry.init({
  dsn: '__DSN__',
  tracesSampleRate: 1.0,
  integrations: [Sentry.browserTracingIntegration()],
});

If you don't want to use browserTracingIntegration but still manually start spans, you can now use Sentry.registerSpanErrorInstrumentation() to setup handlers for span instrumentation. registerSpanErrorInstrumentation replaces the addExtensionMethods method from @sentry/tracing.

// v7
import * as Sentry from '@sentry/browser';
import '@sentry/tracing';

Sentry.init({
  dsn: '__DSN__',
  tracesSampleRate: 1.0,
});
// v8
import * as Sentry from '@sentry/browser';

Sentry.registerSpanErrorInstrumentation();

Sentry.init({
  dsn: '__DSN__',
  tracesSampleRate: 1.0,
});

For Node SDKs you no longer need the side effect import, you can remove all references to @sentry/tracing.

// v7
const Sentry = require('@sentry/node');
require('@sentry/tracing');

Sentry.init({
  dsn: '__DSN__',
  tracesSampleRate: 1.0,
});
// v8
const Sentry = require('@sentry/node');

Sentry.init({
  dsn: '__DSN__',
  tracesSampleRate: 1.0,
});

@sentry/integrations

@sentry/integrations has been removed and will no longer be published. We moved pluggable integrations from their own package (@sentry/integrations) to @sentry/browser and @sentry/node. in addition they are now functions instead of classes.

// v7
import { RewriteFrames } from '@sentry/integrations';
// v8
import { rewriteFramesIntegration } from '@sentry/browser';

Integrations that are now exported from @sentry/browser (or framework-specific packages like @sentry/react):

  • httpClientIntegration (HTTPClient)
  • contextLinesIntegration (ContextLines)
  • reportingObserverIntegration (ReportingObserver)

Integrations that are now exported from @sentry/node and @sentry/browser (or framework-specific packages like @sentry/react):

  • captureConsoleIntegration (CaptureConsole)
  • debugIntegration (Debug)
  • extraErrorDataIntegration (ExtraErrorData)
  • rewriteFramesIntegration (RewriteFrames)
  • sessionTimingIntegration (SessionTiming)
  • dedupeIntegration (Dedupe) - Note: enabled by default, not pluggable

The Transaction integration has been removed from @sentry/integrations. There is no replacement API.

@sentry/serverless

@sentry/serverless has been removed and will no longer be published. The serverless package has been split into two different packages, @sentry/aws-serverless and @sentry/google-cloud-serverless.

The @sentry/google-cloud-serverless package has also been changed to only emit CJS builds because it can only instrument CJS. ESM support will be re-added at a later date.

In @sentry/serverless you had to use a namespace import to initialize the SDK. This has been removed so that you can directly import from the SDK instead.

// v7
const Sentry = require('@sentry/serverless');

Sentry.AWSLambda.init({
  dsn: '__DSN__',
  tracesSampleRate: 1.0,
});

// v8
const Sentry = require('@sentry/aws-serverless');

Sentry.init({
  dsn: '__DSN__',
  tracesSampleRate: 1.0,
});
// v7
const Sentry = require('@sentry/serverless');

Sentry.GCPFunction.init({
  dsn: '__DSN__',
  tracesSampleRate: 1.0,
});

// v8
const Sentry = require('@sentry/google-cloud-serverless');

Sentry.init({
  dsn: '__DSN__',
  tracesSampleRate: 1.0,
});

@sentry/replay

@sentry/replay has been removed and will no longer be published. You can import replay functionality and the replay integration directly from the Browser SDK or browser framework-specific packages like @sentry/react.

// v7
import { Replay } from '@sentry/replay';
import { replayIntegration } from '@sentry/browser';

3. Performance Monitoring Changes

Initializing the Node SDK

If you are using @sentry/node or @sentry/bun, or a package that depends on it (@sentry/nextjs, @sentry/remix, @sentry/sveltekit, @sentry/), you will need to initialize the SDK differently. The primary change is to ensure that the SDK is initialized as early as possible. See Initializing the SDK in v8 on what steps to follow.

For example with the Remix SDK, you should initialize the SDK at the top of your entry.server.tsx server entrypoint before you do anything else.

// first import Sentry and initialize Sentry
import * as Sentry from '@sentry/remix';

Sentry.init({
  dsn: 'https://public@dsn.ingest.sentry.io/1337',
  tracesSampleRate: 1,
  tracePropagationTargets: ['example.org'],
  // Disabling to test series of envelopes deterministically.
  autoSessionTracking: false,
});

// then handle everything else
import type { EntryContext } from '@remix-run/node';
import { RemixServer } from '@remix-run/react';
import { renderToString } from 'react-dom/server';

export const handleError = Sentry.wrapRemixHandleError;

Performance Monitoring API

The APIs for Performance Monitoring in the SDK have been revamped to align with OpenTelemetry, an open standard for tracing and metrics. This allows us to provide a more consistent and powerful API for performance monitoring, and adds support for a variety of new integrations out of the box for our Node SDK.

Instead of using startTransaction and span.startChild, you rely on new helper methods to create spans top level helpers to create spans.

// Measure how long a callback takes, `startSpan` returns the value of the callback.
// The span will become the "active span" for the duration of the callback.
const value = Sentry.startSpan({ name: 'mySpan' }, span => {
  span.setAttribute('key', 'value');
  return expensiveFunction();
});

// `startSpan` works with async callbacks as well - just make sure to return a promise!
const value = await Sentry.startSpan({ name: 'mySpan' }, async span => {
  span.setAttribute('key', 'value');
  return await expensiveFunction();
});

// You can nest spans via more `startSpan` calls.
const value = Sentry.startSpan({ name: 'mySpan' }, span => {
  span.setAttribute('key1', 'value1');

  // `nestedSpan` becomes the child of `mySpan`.
  return Sentry.startSpan({ name: 'nestedSpan' }, nestedSpan => {
    nestedSpan.setAttribute('key2', 'value2');
    return expensiveFunction();
  });
});

// You can also create an inactive span that does not take a callback.
// Useful when you need to pass a span reference into another closure (like measuring duration between hooks).
const span = Sentry.startInactiveSpan({ name: 'mySpan' });

// Use `startSpanManual` if you want to manually control when to end the span
// Useful when you need to hook into event emitters or similar.
function middleware(res, req, next) {
  return Sentry.startSpanManual({ name: 'mySpan' }, span => {
    res.on('finish', () => {
      span.end();
    });
    return next();
  });
}

You can read more about the new performance APIs here.

To accommodate these changes, we're removed the following APIs:

We've also removed a variety of top level fields on the span class.

Performance Monitoring Integrations

As we added support for OpenTelemetry, we have expanded the automatic instrumentation for our Node.js SDK. We are adding support for frameworks like Fastify, Nest.js, and Hapi, and expanding support for databases like Prisma and MongoDB via Mongoose.

We now support the following integrations out of the box without extra configuration:

  • httpIntegration: Automatically instruments Node http and https standard libraries
  • nativeNodeFetchIntegration: Automatically instruments top level fetch and undici
  • expressIntegration: Automatically instruments Express.js
  • fastifyIntegration: Automatically instruments Fastify
  • hapiIntegration: Automatically instruments Hapi
  • graphqlIntegration: Automatically instruments GraphQL
  • mongoIntegration: Automatically instruments MongoDB
  • mongooseIntegration: Automatically instruments Mongoose
  • mysqlIntegration: Automatically instruments MySQL
  • mysql2Integration: Automatically instruments MySQL2
  • redisIntegration: Automatically instruments Redis (supported clients: ioredis)
  • nestIntegration: Automatically instruments Nest.js
  • postgresIntegration: Automatically instruments PostgreSQL
  • prismaIntegration: Automatically instruments Prisma

To make sure these integrations work properly you'll have to change how you initialize the SDK

4. Removal of deprecated APIs

General

Removed top-level exports: tracingOrigins, MetricsAggregator, metricsAggregatorIntegration, Severity, Sentry.configureScope, Span, spanStatusfromHttpCode, makeMain, lastEventId, pushScope, popScope, addGlobalEventProcessor, timestampWithMs, addExtensionMethods, addGlobalEventProcessor, getActiveTransaction

Removed @sentry/utils exports: timestampWithMs, addOrUpdateIntegration, tracingContextFromHeaders, walk

Deprecation of Hub and getCurrentHub()

The Hub has been a very important part of the Sentry SDK API up until now. Hubs were the SDK's "unit of concurrency" to keep track of data across threads and to scope data to certain parts of your code. Because it is overly complicated and confusing to power users, it is going to be replaced by a set of new APIs: the "new Scope API". For now Hub and getCurrentHub are still available, but it will be removed in the next major version.

See Deprecate Hub for details on how to replace existing usage of the Hub APIs.

The hub.bindClient and makeMain methods have been removed entirely, see initializing the SDK in v8 for details how to work around this.

Removal of class-based integrations

In v7, integrations are classes and can be added as e.g. integrations: [new Sentry.Replay()]. In v8, integrations will not be classes anymore, but instead functions. Both the use as a class, as well as accessing integrations from the Integrations.XXX hash, is deprecated in favor of using the new functional integrations. For example, new Integrations.LinkedErrors() becomes linkedErrorsIntegration().

For docs on the new integration interface, see below.

For a list of integrations and their replacements, see below.

The getIntegration() and getIntegrationById() have been removed entirely, see below.

// v7
const replay = Sentry.getIntegration(Replay);
// v8
const replay = getClient().getIntegrationByName('Replay');

framesToPop applies to parsed frames

Error with framesToPop property will have the specified number of frames removed from the top of the stack. This changes compared to the v7 where the property framesToPop was used to remove top n lines from the stack string.

tracingOrigins has been replaced by tracePropagationTargets

tracingOrigins is now removed in favor of the tracePropagationTargets option. The tracePropagationTargets option should be set in the Sentry.init() options, or in your custom Clients option if you create them. We've also updated the behavior of the tracePropagationTargets option for Browser SDKs, see below for more details.

For example for the Browser SDKs:

// v7
Sentry.init({
  dsn: '__DSN__',
  integrations: [new Sentry.BrowserTracing({ tracingOrigins: ['localhost', 'example.com'] })],
});
// v8
Sentry.init({
  dsn: '__DSN__',
  integrations: [Sentry.browserTracingIntegration()],
  tracePropagationTargets: ['localhost', 'example.com'],
});

Removal of the MetricsAggregator integration class and metricsAggregatorIntegration

The SDKs now support metrics features without any additional configuration.

// v7 - Server (Node/Deno/Bun)
Sentry.init({
  dsn: '__DSN__',
  _experiments: {
    metricsAggregator: true,
  },
});

// v7 - Browser
Sentry.init({
  dsn: '__DSN__',
  integrations: [Sentry.metricsAggregatorIntegration()],
});
// v8
Sentry.init({
  dsn: '__DSN__',
});

Removal of Severity Enum

In v7 we deprecated the Severity enum in favor of using the SeverityLevel type as this helps save bundle size, and this has been removed in v8. You should now use the SeverityLevel type directly.

// v7
import { Severity, SeverityLevel } from '@sentry/types';

const levelA = Severity.error;

const levelB: SeverityLevel = "error"
// v8
import { SeverityLevel } from '@sentry/types';

const levelA = "error" as SeverityLevel;

const levelB: SeverityLevel = "error"

Removal of Sentry.configureScope method

The top level Sentry.configureScope function has been removed. Instead, you should use the Sentry.getCurrentScope() to access and mutate the current scope.

// v7
Sentry.configureScope(scope => {
  scope.setTag('key', 'value');
});
// v8
Sentry.getCurrentScope().setTag('key', 'value');

Removal of Span class export from SDK packages

In v8, we are no longer exporting the Span class from SDK packages (e.g. @sentry/browser or @sentry/node). Internally, this class is now called SentrySpan, and it is no longer meant to be used by users directly.

Removal of spanStatusfromHttpCode in favour of getSpanStatusFromHttpCode

In v8, we are removing the spanStatusfromHttpCode function in favor of getSpanStatusFromHttpCode.

// v7
const spanStatus = spanStatusfromHttpCode(200);
// v8
const spanStatus = getSpanStatusFromHttpCode(200);

Removal of addGlobalEventProcessor in favour of addEventProcessor

In v8, we are removing the addGlobalEventProcessor function in favor of addEventProcessor.

// v7
addGlobalEventProcessor(event => {
  delete event.extra;
  return event;
});
// v8
Sentry.getGlobalScope().addEventProcessor(event => {
  delete event.extra;
  return event;
});

Removal of lastEventId() method

The lastEventId function has been removed. See below for more details.

Removal of void from transport return types

The send method on the Transport interface now always requires a TransportMakeRequestResponse to be returned in the promise. This means that the void return type is no longer allowed.

// v7
interface Transport {
  send(event: Event): Promise<void | TransportMakeRequestResponse>;
}
// v8
interface Transport {
  send(event: Event): Promise<TransportMakeRequestResponse>;
}

Removal of addGlobalEventProcessor in favor of addEventProcessor

In v8, we are removing the addGlobalEventProcessor function in favor of addEventProcessor.

// v7
addGlobalEventProcessor(event => {
  delete event.extra;
  return event;
});
// v8
addEventProcessor(event => {
  delete event.extra;
  return event;
});

Removal of Sentry.Handlers.trpcMiddleware() in favor of Sentry.trpcMiddleware()

The Sentry tRPC middleware got moved from Sentry.Handlers.trpcMiddleware() to Sentry.trpcMiddleware(). Functionally they are the same:

// v7
import * as Sentry from '@sentry/node';
Sentry.Handlers.trpcMiddleware();
// v8
import * as Sentry from '@sentry/node';
Sentry.trpcMiddleware();

Browser SDK (Browser, React, Vue, Angular, Ember, etc.)

Removed top-level exports: Offline, makeXHRTransport, BrowserTracing, wrap

Removal of the BrowserTracing integration

The BrowserTracing integration, together with the custom routing instrumentations passed to it, are deprecated in v8. Instead, you should use Sentry.browserTracingIntegration(). See examples below

Removal of the Offline integration

The Offline integration has been removed in favor of the offline transport wrapper.

Removal of makeXHRTransport transport

The makeXHRTransport transport has been removed. Only makeFetchTransport is available now. This means that the Sentry SDK requires the fetch API to be available in the environment.

Removal of wrap method

The wrap method has been removed. There is no replacement API.

Removal of @sentry/angular-ivy package

The @sentry/angular-ivy package has been removed. The @sentry/angular package now supports Ivy by default and requires at least Angular 14. If you are using Angular 13 or lower, we suggest upgrading your Angular version before migrating to v8. If you can't upgrade your Angular version to at least Angular 14, you can also continue using the @sentry/angular-ivy@7 SDK. However, v7 of the SDKs will no longer be fully supported going forward.

Removal of @sentry/replay package

You can import from @sentry/browser (or from a respective SDK package like @sentry/react or @sentry/vue).

Server-side SDKs (Node, Deno, Bun, etc.)

Removed top-level exports: enableAnrDetection, Anr, deepReadDirSync

Removal of enableAnrDetection and Anr class

The enableAnrDetection and Anr class have been removed. See the docs for more details. PR:

Removal of deepReadDirSync method

The deepReadDirSync method has been removed. There is no replacement API.

Next.js SDK

Removed top-level exports: withSentryApi, withSentryAPI, withSentryGetServerSideProps, withSentryGetStaticProps, withSentryServerSideGetInitialProps, withSentryServerSideAppGetInitialProps, withSentryServerSideDocumentGetInitialProps, withSentryServerSideErrorGetInitialProps, nextRouterInstrumentation, IS_BUILD, isBuild

Removal of deprecated API in @sentry/nextjs

The following previously deprecated API has been removed from the @sentry/nextjs package:

  • withSentryApi (Replacement: wrapApiHandlerWithSentry)
  • withSentryAPI (Replacement: wrapApiHandlerWithSentry)
  • withSentryGetServerSideProps (Replacement: wrapGetServerSidePropsWithSentry)
  • withSentryGetStaticProps (Replacement: wrapGetStaticPropsWithSentry)
  • withSentryServerSideGetInitialProps (Replacement: wrapGetInitialPropsWithSentry)
  • withSentryServerSideAppGetInitialProps (Replacement: wrapAppGetInitialPropsWithSentry)
  • withSentryServerSideDocumentGetInitialProps (Replacement: wrapDocumentGetInitialPropsWithSentry)
  • withSentryServerSideErrorGetInitialProps was renamed to wrapErrorGetInitialPropsWithSentry
  • nextRouterInstrumentation (Replaced by using browserTracingIntegration)
  • IS_BUILD
  • isBuild

Updated minimum compatible Next.js version to 13.2.0

The minimum version of Next.js compatible with the Sentry Next.js SDK has been raised to 13.2.0. Older versions may exhibit bugs or unexpected behaviour.

Merging of the Sentry Webpack Plugin options and SDK Build options

With version 8 of the Sentry Next.js SDK, withSentryConfig will no longer accept 3 arguments. The second argument (holding options for the Sentry Webpack plugin) and the third argument (holding options for SDK build-time configuration) should now be passed as one:

// OLD
const nextConfig = {
  // Your Next.js options...
};

module.exports = withSentryConfig(
  nextConfig,
  {
    // Your Sentry Webpack Plugin Options...
  },
  {
    // Your Sentry SDK options...
  },
);

// NEW
const nextConfig = {
  // Your Next.js options...
};

module.exports = withSentryConfig(nextConfig, {
  // Your Sentry Webpack Plugin Options...
  // AND your Sentry SDK options...
});

Removal of the sentry property in your Next.js options (next.config.js)

With version 8 of the Sentry Next.js SDK, the SDK will no longer support passing Next.js options with a sentry property to withSentryConfig. Please use the second argument of withSentryConfig to configure the SDK instead:

// v7
const nextConfig = {
  // Your Next.js options...

  sentry: {
    // Your Sentry SDK options...
  },
};

module.exports = withSentryConfig(nextConfig, {
  // Your Sentry Webpack Plugin Options...
});
// v8
const nextConfig = {
  // Your Next.js options...
};

module.exports = withSentryConfig(nextConfig, {
  // Your Sentry Webpack Plugin Options...
  // AND your Sentry SDK options...
});

The reason for this change is to have one consistent way of defining the SDK options. We hope that this change will reduce confusion when setting up the SDK, with the upside that the explicit option is properly typed and will therefore have code completion.

Updated the @sentry/webpack-plugin dependency to version 2

We bumped the internal usage of @sentry/webpack-plugin to a new major version. This comes with multiple upsides like a simpler configuration interface and the use of new state of the art Debug ID technology. Debug IDs will simplify the setup for source maps in Sentry and will not require you to match stack frame paths to uploaded artifacts anymore.

To see the new options, check out the docs at https://docs.sentry.io/platforms/javascript/guides/nextjs/manual-setup/, or look at the TypeScript type definitions of withSentryConfig.

Updated the recommended way of calling Sentry.init()

With version 8 of the SDK we will no longer support the use of sentry.server.config.ts and sentry.edge.config.ts files. Instead, please initialize the Sentry Next.js SDK for the serverside in a Next.js instrumentation hook. sentry.client.config.ts|js is still supported and encouraged for initializing the clientside SDK.

The following is an example of how to initialize the serverside SDK in a Next.js instrumentation hook:

  1. First, enable the Next.js instrumentation hook by setting the experimental.instrumentationHook to true in your next.config.js.

  2. Next, create a instrumentation.ts|js file in the root directory of your project (or in the src folder if you have have one).

  3. Now, export a register function from the instrumentation.ts|js file and call Sentry.init() inside of it:

    import * as Sentry from '@sentry/nextjs';

export function register() {
  if (process.env.NEXT_RUNTIME === 'nodejs') {
    Sentry.init({
      dsn: 'YOUR_DSN',
      // Your Node.js Sentry configuration...
    });
  }

  if (process.env.NEXT_RUNTIME === 'edge') {
    Sentry.init({
      dsn: 'YOUR_DSN',
      // Your Edge Runtime Sentry configuration...
    });
  }
}

    Note that you can initialize the SDK differently depending on which server runtime is being used.

If you are using a Next.js custom server, the instrumentation.ts hook is not called by Next.js so you need to manually call it yourself from within your server code. It is recommended to do so as early as possible in your application lifecycle.

Why are we making this change? The very simple reason is that Next.js requires us to set up OpenTelemetry instrumentation inside the register function of the instrumentation hook. Looking a little bit further into the future, we also would like the Sentry SDK to be compatible with Turbopack, which is gonna be the bundler that Next.js will be using instead of Webpack. The SDK in its previous version depended heavily on Webpack in order to inject the sentry.(server|edge).config.ts files into the server-side code. Because this will not be possible in the future, we are doing ourselves a favor and doing things the way Next.js intends us to do them - hopefully reducing bugs and jank.

Astro SDK

Removal of trackHeaders option for Astro middleware

Instead of opting-in via the middleware config, you can configure if headers should be captured via requestDataIntegration options, which defaults to true but can be disabled like this:

Sentry.init({
  integrations: [
    Sentry.requestDataIntegration({
      include: {
        headers: false,
      },
    }),
  ],
});

SvelteKit SDK

Breaking sentrySvelteKit() changes

We upgraded the @sentry/vite-plugin from version 0.x to 2.x. This package is internally used by the @sentry/sveltekit SDK. With this change, resolving uploaded source maps should work out of the box much more often than before (more information).

To allow future upgrades of the Vite plugin without breaking stable and public APIs in sentrySvelteKit, we modified the sourceMapsUploadOptions to remove the hard dependency on the API of the plugin. While you previously could specify all version 0.x Vite plugin options, we now reduced them to a subset of 2.x options. All of these options are optional just like before but here's an example of using the new options.

// v7
sentrySvelteKit({
  sourceMapsUploadOptions: {
    org: process.env.SENTRY_ORG,
    project: process.env.SENTRY_PROJECT,
    authToken: process.env.SENTRY_AUTH_TOKEN,
    release: '1.0.1',
    injectRelease: true,
    include: ['./build/*/**/*'],
    ignore: ['**/build/client/**/*']
  },
}),
// v8
sentrySvelteKit({
  sourceMapsUploadOptions: {
    org: process.env.SENTRY_ORG,
    project: process.env.SENTRY_PROJECT,
    authToken: process.env.SENTRY_AUTH_TOKEN,
    release: {
	    name: '1.0.1',
	    inject: true
    },
    sourcemaps: {
	    assets: ['./build/*/**/*'],
	    ignore: ['**/build/client/**/*'],
	    filesToDeleteAfterUpload: ['./build/**/*.map']
    },
  },
}),

In the future, we might add additional options from the Vite plugin but if you would like to specify some of them directly, you can do this by passing in an unstable_sentryVitePluginOptions object:

sentrySvelteKit({
  sourceMapsUploadOptions: {
    // ...
    release: {
	    name: '1.0.1',
    },
    unstable_sentryVitePluginOptions: {
      release: {
        setCommits: {
          auto: true
        }
      }
    }
  },
}),

Important: we DO NOT guarantee stability of unstable_sentryVitePluginOptions. They can be removed or updated at any time, including breaking changes within the same major version of the SDK.

AWS Serverless SDK

Removal of rethrowAfterCapture option

In v6.17.2 the rethrowAfterCapture option to wrapHandler was deprecated. In v8 it has been removed. There is no replacement API.

Ember SDK

Removed top-level exports: InitSentryForEmber, StartTransactionFunction

Removal of InitSentryForEmber export

The InitSentryForEmber export has been removed. Instead, you should use the Sentry.init method to initialize the SDK.

Updated Ember Dependencies

The following dependencies that the SDK uses have been bumped to a more recent version:

  • ember-auto-import is bumped to ^2.4.3
  • ember-cli-babel is bumped to ^8.2.0
  • ember-cli-typescript is bumped to ^5.3.0

Svelte SDK

Removed top-level exports: componentTrackingPreprocessor

Removal of componentTrackingPreprocessor export

The componentTrackingPreprocessor export has been removed. You should instead use withSentryConfig to configure component tracking.

// v7 - svelte.config.js
import { componentTrackingPreprocessor } from '@sentry/svelte';

const config = {
  preprocess: [
    componentTrackingPreprocessor(),
    // ...
  ],
  // ...
};

export default config;
// v8 - svelte.config.js
import { withSentryConfig } from "@sentry/svelte";

const config = {
  // Your svelte config
  compilerOptions: {...},
};

export default withSentryConfig(config);

React SDK

Updated error types to be unknown instead of Error.

In v8, we are changing the ErrorBoundary error types returned from onError, onReset, onUnmount, and beforeCapture. to be unknown instead of Error. This more accurately matches behaviour of componentDidCatch, the lifecycle method the Sentry ErrorBoundary component uses.

As per the React docs on error boundaries:

error: The error that was thrown. In practice, it will usually be an instance of Error but this is not guaranteed because JavaScript allows to throw any value, including strings or even null.

This means you will have to use instanceof Error or similar to explicitly make sure that the error thrown was an instance of Error.

The Sentry SDK maintainers also went ahead and made a PR to update the TypeScript definitions of componentDidCatch for the React package - this will be released with React 20.

Gatsby SDK

Removal of Gatsby Initialization via plugin options

In v8, we are removing the ability to initialize the Gatsby SDK via plugin options. Instead, you should create a sentry.config.js file in the root of your project and initialize the SDK there.

// v7 - gatsby-config.js
module.exports = {
  // ...
  plugins: [
    {
      resolve: '@sentry/gatsby',
      options: {
        dsn: process.env.SENTRY_DSN,
      },
    },
    // ...
  ],
};
// v8 - gatsby-config.js
module.exports = {
  // ...
  plugins: [
    {
      resolve: '@sentry/gatsby',
    },
    // ...
  ],
};

// v8 - sentry.config.js
import * as Sentry from '@sentry/gatsby';

Sentry.init({
  dsn: '__PUBLIC_DSN__',
});

We've also added enableClientWebpackPlugin which allows you to enable or disable the @sentry/webpack-plugin in the client-side build. By default, it is enabled.

// v8 - gatsby-config.js
module.exports = {
  // ...
  plugins: [
    {
      resolve: '@sentry/gatsby',
      options: {
        enableClientWebpackPlugin: false,
      },
    },
    // ...
  ],
};

Automatic adding of browserTracingIntegration for Gatsby

The Gatsby SDK no longer adds the browserTracingIntegration automatically. If you want to enable tracing in the browser, you need to add it manually. Make sure to also configured a tracePropagationTargets value.

// v7 - gatsby-config.js
module.exports = {
  // ...
  plugins: [
    {
      resolve: '@sentry/gatsby',
      options: {
        tracesSampleRate: 1.0,
      },
    },
    // ...
  ],
};
// v8 - gatsby-config.js
module.exports = {
  // ...
  plugins: [
    {
      resolve: '@sentry/gatsby',
    },
    // ...
  ],
};

// v8 - sentry.config.js
import * as Sentry from '@sentry/gatsby';

Sentry.init({
  dsn: '__PUBLIC_DSN__',
  integrations: [Sentry.browserTracingIntegration()],

  // Set tracesSampleRate to 1.0 to capture 100%
  // of transactions for performance monitoring.
  // We recommend adjusting this value in production
  tracesSampleRate: 1.0,

  // Set `tracePropagationTargets` to control for which URLs distributed tracing should be enabled
  tracePropagationTargets: ['localhost', /^https:\/\/yourserver\.io\/api/],
});

5. Behaviour Changes

Updated behaviour of tracePropagationTargets in the browser (HTTP tracing headers & CORS)

We updated the behaviour of the SDKs when no tracePropagationTargets option was defined. As a reminder, you can provide a list of strings or RegExes that will be matched against URLs to tell the SDK, to which outgoing requests tracing HTTP headers should be attached to. These tracing headers are used for distributed tracing.

Previously, on the browser, when tracePropagationTargets were not defined, they defaulted to the following: ['localhost', /^\/(?!\/)/]. This meant that all request targets to that had "localhost" in the URL, or started with a / were equipped with tracing headers. This default was chosen to prevent CORS errors in your browser applications. However, this default had a few flaws.

Going forward, when the tracePropagationTargets option is not set, tracing headers will be attached to all outgoing requests on the same origin. For example, if you're on https://example.com/ and you send a request to https://example.com/api, the request will be traced (ie. will have trace headers attached). Requests to https://api.example.com/ will not, because it is on a different origin. The same goes for all applications running on localhost.

When you provide a tracePropagationTargets option, all of the entries you defined will now be matched be matched against the full URL of the outgoing request. Previously, it was only matched against what you called request APIs with. For example, if you made a request like fetch("/api/posts"), the provided tracePropagationTargets were only compared against "/api/posts". Going forward they will be matched against the entire URL, for example, if you were on the page https://example.com/ and you made the same request, it would be matched against "https://example.com/api/posts".

But that is not all. Because it would be annoying having to create matchers for the entire URL, if the request is a same-origin request, we also match the tracePropagationTargets against the resolved pathname of the request. Meaning, a matcher like /^\/api/ would match a request call like fetch('/api/posts'), or fetch('https://same-origin.com/api/posts') but not fetch('https://different-origin.com/api/posts').

extraErrorDataIntegration changes

The extraErrorDataIntegration integration now looks at error.cause by default.

transactionContext no longer passed to tracesSampler

Instead of an transactionContext being passed to the tracesSampler callback, the callback will directly receive name and attributes going forward. Note that the attributes are only the attributes at span creation time, and some attributes may only be set later during the span lifecycle (and thus not be available during sampling).

getClient() always returns a client

getClient() now always returns a client if Sentry.init() was called. For cases where this may be used to check if Sentry was actually initialized, using getClient() will thus not work anymore. Instead, you should use the new Sentry.isInitialized() utility to check this.

Behaviour in combination with onUncaughtException handlers in Node.js

Previously the SDK exited the process by default, even though additional onUncaughtException may have been registered, that would have prevented the process from exiting. You could opt out of this behaviour by setting the exitEvenIfOtherHandlersAreRegistered: false in the onUncaughtExceptionIntegration options. Up until now the value for this option defaulted to true.

Going forward, the default value for exitEvenIfOtherHandlersAreRegistered will be false, meaning that the SDK will not exit your process when you have registered other onUncaughtException handlers.

Updated expected return value for captureException(), captureMessage() and captureEvent methods on Clients

The Client interface now expects implementations to always return a string representing the generated event ID for the captureException(), captureMessage(), captureEvent() methods. Previously undefined was a valid return value.

Removal of Client-Side health check transaction filters

The SDK no longer filters out health check transactions by default. Instead, they are sent to Sentry but still dropped by the Sentry backend by default. You can disable dropping them in your Sentry project settings. If you still want to drop specific transactions within the SDK you can either use the ignoreTransactions SDK option.

Change of Replay default options (unblock and unmask)

The Replay options unblock and unmask now have [] as default value. This means that if you want to use these options, you have to explicitly set them like this:

Sentry.init({
  integrations: [
    Sentry.replayIntegration({
      unblock: ['.sentry-unblock, [data-sentry-unblock]'],
      unmask: ['.sentry-unmask, [data-sentry-unmask]'],
    }),
  ],
});

Angular Tracing Decorator renaming

The usage of TraceClassDecorator and the TraceMethodDecorator already implies that those are decorators. The word Decorator is now removed from the names to avoid multiple mentioning.

Additionally, the TraceClass and TraceMethod decorators accept an optional name parameter to set the transaction name. This was added because Angular minifies class and method names, and you might want to set a more descriptive name. If nothing provided, the name defaults to 'unnamed'.

// v7
@Sentry.TraceClassDecorator()
export class HeaderComponent {
  @Sentry.TraceMethodDecorator()
  ngOnChanges(changes: SimpleChanges) {}
}
// v8
@Sentry.TraceClass({ name: 'HeaderComponent' })
export class HeaderComponent {
  @Sentry.TraceMethod({ name: 'ngOnChanges' })
  ngOnChanges(changes: SimpleChanges) {}
}

Deprecations in 7.x

You can use the Experimental @sentry/migr8 to automatically update your SDK usage and fix most deprecations. This requires Node 18+.

npx @sentry/migr8@latest

This will let you select which updates to run, and automatically update your code. Make sure to still review all code changes!

Deprecated BrowserTracing integration

The BrowserTracing integration, together with the custom routing instrumentations passed to it, are deprecated in v8. Instead, you should use Sentry.browserTracingIntegration().

Package-specific browser tracing integrations are available directly. In most cases, there is a single integration provided for each package, which will make sure to set up performance tracing correctly for the given SDK. For react, we provide multiple integrations to cover different router integrations:

@sentry/browser, @sentry/svelte, @sentry/gatsby

import * as Sentry from '@sentry/browser';

Sentry.init({
  integrations: [Sentry.browserTracingIntegration()],
});

@sentry/react

import * as Sentry from '@sentry/react';

Sentry.init({
  integrations: [
    // No react router
    Sentry.browserTracingIntegration(),
    // OR, if you are using react router, instead use one of the following:
    Sentry.reactRouterV6BrowserTracingIntegration({
      useEffect,
      useLocation,
      useNavigationType,
      createRoutesFromChildren,
      matchRoutes,
      stripBasename,
    }),
    Sentry.reactRouterV5BrowserTracingIntegration({
      history,
    }),
    Sentry.reactRouterV4BrowserTracingIntegration({
      history,
    }),
    Sentry.reactRouterV3BrowserTracingIntegration({
      history,
      routes,
      match,
    }),
  ],
});

@sentry/vue

import * as Sentry from '@sentry/vue';

Sentry.init({
  integrations: [
    Sentry.browserTracingIntegration({
      // pass router in, if applicable
      router,
    }),
  ],
});

@sentry/angular & @sentry/angular-ivy

import * as Sentry from '@sentry/angular';

Sentry.init({
  integrations: [Sentry.browserTracingIntegration()],
});

// You still need to add the TraceService like before!

@sentry/remix

import * as Sentry from '@sentry/remix';

Sentry.init({
  integrations: [
    Sentry.browserTracingIntegration({
      useEffect,
      useLocation,
      useMatches,
    }),
  ],
});

@sentry/nextjs, @sentry/astro, @sentry/sveltekit

Browser tracing is automatically set up for you in these packages. If you need to customize the options, you can do it like this:

import * as Sentry from '@sentry/nextjs';

Sentry.init({
  integrations: [
    Sentry.browserTracingIntegration({
      // add custom options here
    }),
  ],
});

@sentry/ember

Browser tracing is automatically set up for you. You can configure it as before through configuration.

Deprecated transactionContext passed to tracesSampler

Instead of an transactionContext being passed to the tracesSampler callback, the callback will directly receive name and attributes going forward. You can use these to make your sampling decisions, while transactionContext will be removed in v8. Note that the attributes are only the attributes at span creation time, and some attributes may only be set later during the span lifecycle (and thus not be available during sampling).

Deprecate wrapRemixHandleError in Remix SDK (since v7.100.0)

This release deprecates wrapRemixHandleError in favor of using sentryHandleError from @sentry/remix. It can be used as below:

// entry.server.ts

export const handleError = Sentry.wrapHandleErrorWithSentry(() => {
  // Custom handleError implementation
});

Deprecate using getClient() to check if the SDK was initialized

In v8, getClient() will stop returning undefined if Sentry.init() was not called. For cases where this may be used to check if Sentry was actually initialized, using getClient() will thus not work anymore. Instead, you should use the new Sentry.isInitialized() utility to check this.

Deprecate getCurrentHub()

In v8, you will no longer have a Hub, only Scopes as a concept. This also means that getCurrentHub() will eventually be removed.

Instead of getCurrentHub(), use the respective replacement API directly - see Deprecate Hub for details.

Deprecate class-based integrations

In v7, integrations are classes and can be added as e.g. integrations: [new Sentry.Integrations.ContextLines()]. In v8, integrations will not be classes anymore, but instead functions. Both the use as a class, as well as accessing integrations from the Integrations.XXX hash, is deprecated in favor of using the new functional integrations

  • for example, new Integrations.LinkedErrors() becomes linkedErrorsIntegration().

The following list shows how integrations should be migrated:

List of integrations and their replacements

Deprecate hub.bindClient() and makeMain()

Instead, either directly use initAndBind(), or the new APIs setCurrentClient() and client.init(). See Initializing the SDK in v8 for more details.

Deprecate Transaction integration

This pluggable integration from @sentry/integrations will be removed in v8. It was already undocumented and is not necessary for the SDK to work as expected.

Changed integration interface

In v8, integrations passed to a client will have an optional setupOnce() hook. Currently, this hook is always present, but in v8 you will not be able to rely on this always existing anymore - any integration may have a setup and/or a setupOnce hook. Additionally, setupOnce() will not receive any arguments anymore.

This should not affect most people, but in the case that you are manually calling integration.setupOnce() right now, make sure to guard it's existence properly.

Deprecate getIntegration() and getIntegrationById()

This deprecates getIntegration() on both the hub & the client, as well as getIntegrationById() on the baseclient. Instead, use getIntegrationByName(). You can optionally pass an integration generic to make it easier to work with typescript:

const replay = getClient().getIntegrationByName<Replay>('Replay');

Deprecate Hub

The Hub has been a very important part of the Sentry SDK API up until now. Hubs were the SDK's "unit of concurrency" to keep track of data across threads and to scope data to certain parts of your code. Because it is overly complicated and confusing to power users, it is going to be replaced by a set of new APIs: the "new Scope API".

Scopes have existed before in the SDK but we are now expanding on them because we have found them powerful enough to fully cover the Hub API.

If you are using the Hub right now, see the following table on how to migrate to the new API:

Old Hub API New Scope API
new Hub() withScope(), withIsolationScope() or new Scope()
hub.isOlderThan() REMOVED - Was used to compare Hub instances, which are gonna be removed
hub.bindClient() A combination of scope.setClient() and client.init()
hub.pushScope() Sentry.withScope()
hub.popScope() Sentry.withScope()
hub.withScope() Sentry.withScope()
getClient() Sentry.getClient()
getScope() Sentry.getCurrentScope() to get the currently active scope
getIsolationScope() Sentry.getIsolationScope()
getStack() REMOVED - The stack used to hold scopes. Scopes are used directly now
getStackTop() REMOVED - The stack used to hold scopes. Scopes are used directly now
captureException() Sentry.captureException()
captureMessage() Sentry.captureMessage()
captureEvent() Sentry.captureEvent()
lastEventId() REMOVED - Use event processors or beforeSend instead
addBreadcrumb() Sentry.addBreadcrumb()
setUser() Sentry.setUser()
setTags() Sentry.setTags()
setExtras() Sentry.setExtras()
setTag() Sentry.setTag()
setExtra() Sentry.setExtra()
setContext() Sentry.setContext()
configureScope() REMOVED - Scopes are now the unit of concurrency
run() Sentry.withScope() or Sentry.withIsolationScope()
getIntegration() client.getIntegration()
startTransaction() Sentry.startSpan(), Sentry.startInactiveSpan() or Sentry.startSpanManual()
traceHeaders() REMOVED - The closest equivalent is now spanToTraceHeader(getActiveSpan())
captureSession() Sentry.captureSession()
startSession() Sentry.startSession()
endSession() Sentry.endSession()
shouldSendDefaultPii() REMOVED - The closest equivalent is Sentry.getClient().getOptions().sendDefaultPii

The Hub constructor is also deprecated and will be removed in the next major version. If you are creating Hubs for multi-client use like so:

// OLD
const hub = new Hub();
hub.bindClient(client);
makeMain(hub);

instead initialize the client as follows:

// NEW
Sentry.withIsolationScope(() => {
  Sentry.setCurrentClient(client);
  client.init();
});

If you are using the Hub to capture events like so:

// OLD
const client = new Client();
const hub = new Hub(client);
hub.captureException();

instead capture isolated events as follows:

// NEW
const client = new Client();
const scope = new Scope();
scope.setClient(client);
scope.captureException();

Deprecate client.setupIntegrations()

Instead, use the new client.init() method. You should probably not use this directly and instead use Sentry.init(), which calls this under the hood. But if you have a special use case that requires that, you can call client.init() instead now.

Deprecate scope.getSpan() and scope.setSpan()

Instead, you can get the currently active span via Sentry.getActiveSpan(). Setting a span on the scope happens automatically when you use the new performance APIs startSpan() and startSpanManual().

Deprecate scope.getTransaction() and getActiveTransaction()

Instead, you should not rely on the active transaction, but just use startSpan() APIs, which handle this for you.

Deprecate arguments for startSpan() APIs

In v8, the API to start a new span will be reduced from the currently available options. Going forward, only these argument will be passable to startSpan(), startSpanManual() and startInactiveSpan():

  • name
  • attributes
  • origin
  • op
  • startTime
  • scope

Deprecate startTransaction() & span.startChild()

In v8, the old performance API startTransaction() (and hub.startTransaction()), as well as span.startChild(), will be removed. Instead, use the new performance APIs:

  • startSpan()
  • startSpanManual()
  • startInactiveSpan()

You can read more about the new performance APIs here.

Deprecate variations of Sentry.continueTrace()

The version of Sentry.continueTrace() which does not take a callback argument will be removed in favor of the version that does. Additionally, the callback argument will not receive an argument with the next major version.

Use Sentry.continueTrace() as follows:

app.get('/your-route', req => {
  Sentry.withIsolationScope(isolationScope => {
    Sentry.continueTrace(
      {
        sentryTrace: req.headers.get('sentry-trace'),
        baggage: req.headers.get('baggage'),
      },
      () => {
        // All events recorded in this callback will be associated with the incoming trace. For example:
        Sentry.startSpan({ name: '/my-route' }, async () => {
          await doExpensiveWork();
        });
      },
    );
  });
});

Deprecate Sentry.lastEventId() and hub.lastEventId()

Sentry.lastEventId() sometimes causes race conditions, so we are deprecating it in favour of the beforeSend callback.

// Before
Sentry.init({
  beforeSend(event, hint) {
    const lastCapturedEventId = Sentry.lastEventId();

    // Do something with `lastCapturedEventId` here

    return event;
  },
});

// After
Sentry.init({
  beforeSend(event, hint) {
    const lastCapturedEventId = event.event_id;

    // Do something with `lastCapturedEventId` here

    return event;
  },
});

Deprecated fields on Span and Transaction

In v8, the Span class is heavily reworked. The following properties & methods are thus deprecated:

  • span.toContext(): Access the fields directly instead.
  • span.updateWithContext(newSpanContext): Update the fields directly instead.
  • span.setName(newName): Use span.updateName(newName) instead.
  • span.toTraceparent(): use spanToTraceHeader(span) util instead.
  • span.getTraceContext(): Use spanToTraceContext(span) utility function instead.
  • span.sampled: Use span.isRecording() instead.
  • span.spanId: Use span.spanContext().spanId instead.
  • span.parentSpanId: Use spanToJSON(span).parent_span_id instead.
  • span.traceId: Use span.spanContext().traceId instead.
  • span.name: Use spanToJSON(span).description instead.
  • span.description: Use spanToJSON(span).description instead.
  • span.getDynamicSamplingContext: Use getDynamicSamplingContextFromSpan utility function instead.
  • span.tags: Set tags on the surrounding scope instead, or use attributes.
  • span.data: Use spanToJSON(span).data instead.
  • span.setTag(): Use span.setAttribute() instead or set tags on the surrounding scope.
  • span.setData(): Use span.setAttribute() instead.
  • span.instrumenter This field was removed and will be replaced internally.
  • span.transaction: Use getRootSpan utility function instead.
  • span.spanRecorder: Span recording will be handled internally by the SDK.
  • span.status: Use .setStatus to set or update and spanToJSON() to read the span status.
  • span.op: Use startSpan functions to set, setAttribute() to update and spanToJSON to read the span operation.
  • span.isSuccess: Use spanToJSON(span).status === 'ok' instead.
  • transaction.setMetadata(): Use attributes instead, or set data on the scope.
  • transaction.metadata: Use attributes instead, or set data on the scope.
  • transaction.setContext(): Set context on the surrounding scope instead.
  • transaction.setMeasurement(): Use Sentry.setMeasurement() instead. In v8, setting measurements will be limited to the currently active root span.
  • transaction.setName(): Set the name with .updateName() and the source with .setAttribute() instead.
  • span.startTimestamp: use spanToJSON(span).start_timestamp instead. You cannot update this anymore in v8.
  • span.endTimestamp: use spanToJSON(span).timestamp instead. You cannot update this anymore in v8. You can pass a custom end timestamp to span.end(endTimestamp).

Deprecate pushScope & popScope in favor of withScope

Instead of manually pushing/popping a scope, you should use Sentry.withScope(callback: (scope: Scope)) instead.

Deprecate configureScope in favor of using getCurrentScope()

Instead of updating the scope in a callback via configureScope(), you should access it via getCurrentScope() and configure it directly:

Sentry.getCurrentScope().setTag('xx', 'yy');

Deprecate addGlobalEventProcessor in favor of addEventProcessor

Instead of using addGlobalEventProcessor, you should use addEventProcessor which does not add the event processor globally, but to the current client.

For the vast majority of cases, the behavior of these should be the same. Only in the case where you have multiple clients will this differ - but you'll likely want to add event processors per-client then anyhow, not globally.

In v8, we will remove the global event processors overall, as that allows us to avoid keeping global state that is not necessary.

Deprecate extractTraceParentData export from @sentry/core & downstream packages

Instead, import this directly from @sentry/utils.

Generally, in most cases you should probably use continueTrace instead, which abstracts this away from you and handles scope propagation for you.

Deprecate lastEventId()

Instead, if you need the ID of a recently captured event, we recommend using beforeSend instead:

import * as Sentry from '@sentry/browser';

Sentry.init({
  dsn: '__DSN__',
  beforeSend(event, hint) {
    const lastCapturedEventId = event.event_id;

    // Do something with `lastCapturedEventId` here

    return event;
  },
});

Deprecate timestampWithMs export - #7878

The timestampWithMs util is deprecated in favor of using timestampInSeconds.

addTracingExtensions replaces addExtensionMethods (since 7.46.0)

Since the deprecation of @sentry/tracing, tracing extensions are now added by calling addTracingExtensions which is exported from all framework SDKs.

// Before
import * as Sentry from '@sentry/browser';
import { addExtensionMethods } from '@sentry/tracing';

Sentry.init({
  dsn: '__DSN__',
  tracesSampleRate: 1.0,
});

addExtensionMethods();

// After
import * as Sentry from '@sentry/browser';

Sentry.init({
  dsn: '__DSN__',
  tracesSampleRate: 1.0,
});

Sentry.addTracingExtensions();

Remove requirement for @sentry/tracing package (since 7.46.0)

With 7.46.0 you no longer require the @sentry/tracing package to use tracing and performance monitoring with the Sentry JavaScript SDKs. The @sentry/tracing package will be removed in a future major release, but can still be used in the meantime.

Browser:

// Before
import * as Sentry from '@sentry/browser';
import { BrowserTracing } from '@sentry/tracing';

Sentry.init({
  dsn: '__DSN__',
  tracesSampleRate: 1.0,
  integrations: [new BrowserTracing()],
});

// After
import * as Sentry from '@sentry/browser';

Sentry.init({
  dsn: '__DSN__',
  tracesSampleRate: 1.0,
  integrations: [new Sentry.BrowserTracing()],
});

Node:

// Before
const Sentry = require('@sentry/node');
require('@sentry/tracing');

Sentry.init({
  dsn: '__DSN__',
  tracesSampleRate: 1.0,
});

// After
const Sentry = require('@sentry/node');

Sentry.init({
  dsn: '__DSN__',
  tracesSampleRate: 1.0,
  integrations: [
    // Automatically instrument Node.js libraries and frameworks
    ...Sentry.autoDiscoverNodePerformanceMonitoringIntegrations(),
  ],
});

Note: If you imported stripUrlQueryAndFragment from @sentry/tracing, you'll need to import it from @sentry/utils, once you remove @sentry/tracing.

Replay options changed (since 7.35.0) - #6645

Some options for replay have been deprecated in favor of new APIs. See Replay Migration docs for details.

Renaming of Next.js wrapper methods (since 7.31.0) - #6790

We updated the names of the functions to wrap data fetchers and API routes to better reflect what they are doing. The old methods can still be used but are deprecated and will be removed in the next major update of the SDK.

Following function names were updated:

  • withSentryAPI was renamed to wrapApiHandlerWithSentry
  • withSentryGetServerSideProps was renamed to wrapGetServerSidePropsWithSentry
  • withSentryGetStaticProps was renamed to wrapGetStaticPropsWithSentry
  • withSentryServerSideGetInitialProps was renamed to wrapGetInitialPropsWithSentry
  • withSentryServerSideAppGetInitialProps was renamed to wrapAppGetInitialPropsWithSentry
  • withSentryServerSideDocumentGetInitialProps was renamed to wrapDocumentGetInitialPropsWithSentry
  • withSentryServerSideErrorGetInitialProps was renamed to wrapErrorGetInitialPropsWithSentry

Deprecated tracingOrigins (since 7.19.0) - #6176

The tracingOrigins option is deprecated in favor of using shouldCreateSpanForRequest and tracePropagationTargets.

Deprecate componentTrackingPreprocessor in Svelte SDK (since 7.16.0) - #5936

This release adds the withSentryConfig feature to the Svelte SDK. It replaces the now deprecated Svelte componentTrackingPreprocessor which will be removed in the next major release.

Deprecate getGlobalObject in @sentry/utils (since 7.16.0) - #5949

This is no longer used.

Deprecate @sentry/hub (since 7.15.0) - #5823

This release deprecates @sentry/hub and all of it's exports. All of the @sentry/hub exports have moved to @sentry/core. @sentry/hub will be removed in the next major release.

Upgrading Sentry Replay (beta, 7.24.0)

For details on upgrading Replay in its beta phase, please view the dedicated Replay MIGRATION docs.
