Installing Sentry on macOS X + Vagrant (CentOS7) and Verifying It Works

Overview

https://sentry.readthedocs.org/en/latest/quickstart/

Environment

• MacOS 10.10.2 Yosemite
• Vagrant 1.6.5
• Virtual Box 4.3.20 r96996
• CentOS 7.1.1503 (Core)
• Python 2.7.5 (pip 6.0.8)
• Redis 3.0.0
• MySQL 5.6
• NginX 1.6.2

Prerequisites

The official Sentry site says you should have the following set up beforehand.

• Python2.7
• python-setuptools, python-pip, python-dev, libxslt1-dev, libxml2-dev, libz-dev, libffi-dev, libssl-dev
• DB (PostgreSQL: recommended, or MySQL) => I’ll use MySQL
• Redis
• NginX

The official Sentry site tests on Ubuntu,
but I’ve confirmed it works on CentOS in the environment above as well.

Add / Boot the CentOS7 box image in Vagrant and connect via SSH

• I set the IP to Vagrantfile’s default value “192.168.33.10”.

Install pip

• Workaround for the error that occurs when installing various modules with pip [command ‘gcc’ failed with exit status 1]

Install Redis

Install MySQL

Initial MySQL setup for Sentry

Install NginX / configure firewall to allow HTTP traffic

NginX /etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf configuration for Sentry

Procedure

Install / start Sentry

Start celery

If celery isn’t installed, install it as follows

pip install celery

Access the URL

Access http://192.168.33.10

The login page is displayed.

Below, I’ll carry out the steps needed for logging.

• Login account
• Create a team
• Create a project
• Logging

Please log in.

• If you don’t have an account, create one from the “Create a new account” link

Create a team

Create a project

A new project has been created.

Clicking the “Go It !” button takes you to the page of the project you created.

Click the “Settings” tab on the project page

Let’s actually send a log.

Check the API key. Click the “API Keys” link in the left menu

Copy the Default key

Test send

Run the following from the macOS X Terminal.
Send asynchronously with raven.

raven test (the Default API key you copied)

If raven isn’t installed, install it with brew as follows.

You can see that the event was added in the Stream tab.

Sending a log from PHP

The instructions are provided, so let’s check them.

After clicking the Settings tab, click “Setup & Installation”

Click the PHP icon

On your local macOS,
pull raven-php from git and set it up.

git clone https://github.com/getsentry/raven-php
cd raven-php/

Create a new file “t.php”

• t.php

Run t.php

php t.php

As shown below, you can also confirm the log sent to Sentry from PHP.

You can also send logs from Python and Go.
Please give it a try.

That’s all
