I'd really love to be able to use Sentry to collect errors in a closed .NET web app that just spams a log file. Is there a collector/raven for just tailing files (on Windows), configurable via RegEx or other parser definition? Right now we use a custom grok filter for Logstash and dump it all into Elasticsearch, but the Sentry UI sure would make life easier when something goes wrong and we have to figure out why.
- zeeg 11y agoThere's not. The primary reason is that Sentry doesnt really match up well to traditional logging. A lot of we do involves highly structured data, and simply wouldn't be usable without that. It helps to think of Sentry more like classic crash reporting more so than modern logging. We want (and need) to know precisely what a stacktrace is, which piece is the function name, the line number, etc.
- spdustin 11y agoWell that's what the app is logging. Full stack traces. ;) I can think of lots of apps that do just that. If a formatted stack trace is truly what you need to ingest, maybe I should look into contributing a "Raven" for generic systems that log stack traces.
