Sentry (Spring-Boot-Starter) with zalando Problem-Spring-Web

[bedaka]

Hello everyone,

I'm trying to integrate sentry in our java spring-boot-starter service. Since we're also using the zalando problem-spring-web library for exception handling, I wonder if anyone has some experience in how to make this setup work together.

• Out of the box no errors appear in sentry because they're handled by the Advice Traits.
• After setting exception-resolver-order: -2147483647 as suggested in the Sentry documentation errors do appear in Sentry, but they're "unhanded" and error codes are missing.

I wonder if I have to modify the Advice Traits or if there is another way that I'm currently not seeing.

Thanks in advance

@maciejwalkowiak maybe knows?

@bedaka if I understand your problem right, you can create a custom trait, where you need to manually build a Sentry event and pass there any information you need about the error itself, plus what comes from the problem-spring-web library, like a response status.

For example:

@ControllerAdvice
class SentryAdviceTrait implements ProblemHandling {
    private final IHub hub;

    SentryAdviceTrait(IHub hub) {
        this.hub = hub;
    }

    @Override
    public ResponseEntity<Problem> create(Throwable throwable, NativeWebRequest request) {
        ResponseEntity<Problem> result =  ProblemHandling.super.create(throwable, request);
        SentryEvent event = new SentryEvent();
        event.setExtra("response_status", result.getStatusCodeValue());
        event.setThrowable(throwable);
        hub.captureEvent(event);
        return result;
    }
}

Note that details about the HTTP request are added there automatically. Look at https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-java/blob/main/sentry-spring/src/main/java/io/sentry/spring/SentryExceptionResolver.java#L45 as a reference.

Does it solve your issue?

Thank you for the fast answer. This does in fact look like a good start I'm currently testing and will let you know if I got it to work 👍
