Connect your Native (C/C++) project to GlitchTip

The Native SDK supports C and C++ applications. Download the latest release from the GitHub releases page.

Setup

Initialize the SDK early in your application:

#include <sentry.h>

int main(void) {
    sentry_options_t *options = sentry_options_new();
    sentry_options_set_dsn(options, "YOUR_DSN");
    sentry_options_set_sample_rate(options, 0.01); // 1% of transactions
    sentry_init(options);

    /* Your application code */

    sentry_close();
}

Important: Call sentry_close() before exiting. This ensures pending events are flushed.

Verify

sentry_capture_event(sentry_value_new_message_event(
    SENTRY_LEVEL_INFO,
    "custom",
    "Test GlitchTip error!"
));

Debug Symbols

Upload debug symbols (dSYM, PDB, ELF) for readable stack traces using the GlitchTip CLI:

glitchtip-cli debug-files upload ./build --org my-org --project my-project

Tips

• The DSN can also be set via the SENTRY_DSN environment variable.
• The SDK supports Breakpad and Crashpad backends for crash reporting.
