Setting Up Sentry Logging with Scala / Play

Tue, 16 Apr 2019 00:00:00 +0000

Sentry is an error tracking service that helps you quickly track errors in many environments. While it’s not the only option for error reporting (Rollbar comes to mind since they sponsor most of the podcasts I listen to), Sentry is my favorite option. Today, we’re going to setup Sentry reporting for our Scala / Play application.

The [Play framework](https://www.playframework.com/) is a web framework for building predictable and scalable applications. Featuring support for Java and Scala, the Play framework is a great consideration when choosing your next framework.

Creating an account

First, you’ll need to create a free account on Sentry’s website. They’ll ask you to sign up and create a project, go ahead with those steps. At the end of that process, they’ll show you a DSN ( a client key ). Copy that key as we’ll need it in a few moments.
