Resources

Setup

The easiest way to install this extension is to use Composer by adding the following to your composer.json file:

  "require": {
    "crisu83/yii-sentry": "<replace-with-latest-version>"
  }

Run the following command in the root directory of your project to install the extension:

php composer.phar install

TIP: Create a path alias to Composer's vendor directory called vendor to ease class mapping to dependencies by adding it to aliases in your application configuration.

If you do not want to use Composer, you can download the extension and its dependencies and set everything up manually.

Once you have downloaded the extension add the following to your application configuration:

  'components' => array(
    'sentry' => array(
      'class' => 'vendor.crisu83.yii-sentry.components.SentryClient',
      'dns' => '<replace-with-your-sentry-dns>'
    ),
  ),

The following configuration parameters are available for the SentryClient:

dns: (string) dns to use when connecting to Sentry
environment: (string) name of the active environment
enabledEnvironments: (array) list of names for environments in which data will be sent to Sentry
options: (array) options to pass to the Raven client with the following structure:
- logger: (string) name of the logger
- auto_log_stacks: (bool) whether to automatically log stacktraces
- name: (string) name of the server
- site: (string) name of the installation
- tags: (array) key/value pairs that describe the event
- trace: (bool) whether to send stacktraces
- timeout: (int) timeout when connecting to Sentry (in seconds)
- exclude: (array) class names of exceptions to exclude
- shift_vars: (bool) whether to shift variables when creating a backtrace
- processors: (array) list of data processors

Sending errors to Sentry

To enable the SentryErrorHandler add the following to your application configuration:

  'components' => array(
    'errorHandler' => array(
      'class' => 'vendor.crisu83.yii-sentry.components.SentryErrorHandler',
    ),
  ),

The following configuration parameters are available for the SentryErrorHandler:

sentryClientID: (string) component ID for the sentry client

That's it, now errors and exceptions will be sent to Sentry.

Sending log messages to Sentry

To enable the SentryLogRoute add the following to your application configuration:

  'components' => array(
    'log' => array(
      'class' => 'CLogRouter',
      'routes' => array(
        array(
          'class' => 'vendor.crisu83.yii-sentry.components.SentryLogRoute',
          'levels' => 'error, warning',
        ),
      ),
    ),
  ),

The following configuration parameters are available for the SentryLogRoute:

sentryClientID: (string) component ID for the sentry client

That's it, now log messages with levels error and warning will be sent to Sentry.

TIP: Do not log messages with level trace to Sentry because it will slow down your application a lot.
