Overview

The sentry module installs, configures, and manages the Sentry realtime event logging and aggregation platform. It supports Sentry version >= 7.7.0, < 8.0.0 on the following platforms:

  • Debian 7 (Wheezy)
  • Ubuntu 14.04 (Trusty)

Module Description

Installation is via PyPI or Git, with support for arbitrary PyPI versions or Git revisions. Configuration supports optional database integration with MySQL/Postgres, caching/queueing with Redis, and a reverse SSL proxy, though these must be deployed separately (for which an example profile is provided). Service management is done with Supervisor.

Setup

What sentry affects

  • A Python virtualenv is created with Sentry and required dependencies.
  • A Sentry configuration is generated based on provided class parameters.
  • A SQLite database is created and its contents initialized.
  • Supervisor is deployed to manage the Sentry web and worker services.

Beginning with sentry

A basic deploy listening on http://localhost:9000 can be done with

include sentry

An admin user is also created for evaluation purposes with username admin@localhost and password password.

To specify a PyPI version instead, run

class { 'sentry':
  version => '7.x.x'
}

or for a specific Git revision (branch, tag, or commit sha1) on https://github.com/getsentry/sentry/

class { 'sentry':
  source_location => 'git',
  git_revision    => 'master',
}

Note that installing from Git will also install git and nodejs packages required for building from source.

Usage

To allow for more widespread evaluation (say over a VPN), pass extra parameters like the following (IMPORTANT: don't use these values for password and secret_key, see Security for how to generate your own)

class { 'sentry':
  password   => 'password',
  secret_key => 'bxXkluWCyi7vNDDALvCKOGCI2WEbohkpF9nVPnV6jWGB1grz5csT3g==',
  email      => 'sentry@example.com',
  url        => 'http://sentry.example.lan:9000',  # must not have a trailing slash
  host       => '0.0.0.0',
}

For a basic production-ready deploy with support for Postgres, Redis, and a reverse SSL proxy deployed separately on the same host, pass extra parameters like the following (IMPORTANT: don't use these values for password and secret_key, see Security for how to generate your own)

class { 'sentry':
  password        => 'password',  # this should come from an encrypted source like hiera-eyaml
  secret_key      => 'bxXkluWCyi7vNDDALvCKOGCI2WEbohkpF9nVPnV6jWGB1grz5csT3g==',
  email           => 'sentry@example.com',
  url             => 'https://sentry.example.com',  # must not have a trailing slash
  database        => 'postgres',
  database_config => {
    user     => 'sentry',
    password => 'randompassword',  # this should come from an encrypted source like hiera-eyaml
  },
  proxy_enabled   => true,
  redis_enabled   => true,
}

For further instructions on preparing a production-ready deploy, see the parameter list in Reference and the following Sentry documentation:

Security

The values for password and secret_key are the admin user's password and the django secret key respectively. It's important to use your own values for these as the defaults are insecure.

  • password can be randomly generated with a shell command like the following: openssl rand -hex 8
  • secret_key can be randomly generated with the following Python command: python -c "import os; from base64 import b64encode; print(b64encode(os.urandom(40)))"
