Connect your Java project to GlitchTip

Add the sentry SDK to your project.

Using Gradle:

implementation 'io.sentry:sentry:8.+'

Using Maven:

<dependency>
    <groupId>io.sentry</groupId>
    <artifactId>sentry</artifactId>
    <version>LATEST</version>
</dependency>

Initialize the SDK as early as possible:

import io.sentry.Sentry;

public class MyApp {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Sentry.init(options -> {
            options.setDsn("YOUR_DSN");
            options.setTracesSampleRate(0.01); // 1% of transactions
        });

        // Verify your setup
        try {
            throw new Exception("Test GlitchTip error!");
        } catch (Exception e) {
            Sentry.captureException(e);
        }

        Sentry.flush(2000);
    }
}

Configuration

You can also configure the SDK via environment variables or a sentry.properties file:

• SENTRY_DSN — Your GlitchTip DSN
• SENTRY_RELEASE — Your application version
• SENTRY_ENVIRONMENT — The environment name (e.g., production)

Tips

• Call Sentry.flush() before your application exits to ensure events are sent.
• Set tracesSampleRate to a low value in production to save disk space.
