What types of metrics can I track?

You can track Counters for event counts, Gauges for point-in-time snapshots (like memory), and Distributions for statistical analysis (like p99 latency).

Does this work with Next.js?

Absolutely. It supports Next.js across client, server, and edge environments, as well as React and Node.js.

Which Sentry SDK versions are required for metrics?

JavaScript/TypeScript requires version 10.25.0 or higher, while Python requires sentry-sdk version 2.44.0 or higher.

Can I filter sensitive data from metrics?

Yes, this skill helps you configure the beforeSendMetric callback to remove or modify attributes before they are sent to Sentry.

Analytics & Monitoring

Configures and instruments custom Sentry metrics for application performance and business KPI tracking.

About

This skill automates the integration of Sentry Metrics into your software projects, allowing you to track counters, gauges, and distributions across JavaScript, TypeScript, and Python environments. It intelligently detects your tech stack (including frameworks like Next.js, React, and Django), ensures your SDK versions meet the minimum requirements, and provides tailored implementation patterns for monitoring everything from API response times to business-critical events.

Key Features

Configuration of counters, gauges, and distributions
SDK version verification and upgrade guidance
Metric filtering and privacy setup via beforeSendMetric
Automated platform and framework detection (JS/TS/Python)
5 GitHub stars
Framework-specific implementation patterns for Next.js and FastAPI

Use Cases

Monitoring application health through error counts and latency distributions
Measuring system resources like memory usage and database connection pools
Tracking business KPIs like successful checkouts or user signups
