Sentry's Go SDK supports all recent versions of the language, and integrates well with a variety of popular frameworks and packages in the Go ecosystem. It gives developers helpful hints for where and why an error or panic might have occurred.

On this page, we get you up and running with Sentry's SDK. If you are using our previous Go SDK, you can access the legacy SDK documentation, until further notice.

• If you don't have an account and Sentry project established already, please head over to Sentry, and then return to this page.

Install our Go SDK using go get:

Copied

go get github.com/getsentry/sentry-go

Consult the Go documentation for more information on how to manage your dependencies.

Configuration should happen as early as possible in your application's lifecycle.

This snippet includes an intentional error, so you can test that everything is working as soon as you set it up.
