Node.jsAutomatic Instrumentation
By default, Sentry's Node.js SDK can automatically instrument HTTP calls. In order for this to work, you have to create transactions which the HTTP calls will be added to as spans.
Read more about Custom Instrumentation to learn how to create transactions and add your own spans.
If you're adopting Performance in a high-throughput environment, we recommend testing prior to deployment to ensure that your service's performance characteristics maintain expectations.
Note, that calling Sentry.autoDiscoverNodePerformanceMonitoringIntegrations will degrade startup performance of your app due to file I/O operations. This is especially a concern in Serverless functions. We recommend manually adding database integrations of your choice manually (see example below).
const Sentry = require("@sentry/node");
Sentry.init({
dsn: "https://examplePublicKey@o0.ingest.sentry.io/0",
integrations: [
// Automatically instrument Node.js libraries and frameworks
// (This function is slow because of file I/O, consider manually adding additional integrations instead)
...Sentry.autoDiscoverNodePerformanceMonitoringIntegrations(),
// Or manually add integrations of your choice. For example:
new Sentry.Integrations.Apollo(),
new Sentry.Integrations.Postgres(),
],
// We recommend adjusting this value in production, or using tracesSampler
// for finer control
tracesSampleRate: 1.0,
});
