Ongoing Work & Feedback

[aldy505]

Hello there! 👋

Self-hosted is a big part of Sentry and has provided many benefits to companies and communities, helping them track errors and performance. I believe you already know what Sentry can do. Through this issue, we're aiming to be open and transparent about: (1) our priorities; (2) our backlogs; (3) the features you can expect to see in self-hosted Sentry; and (4) how to submit feedback.

If you want to submit feedback (not just asking for help or explaining what went wrong with self-hosted -- but also things that made you happy while maintaining self-hosted Sentry), feel free to comment on this issue!

For known existing backlogs, you can visit this GitHub Project: Self-hosted Sentry

What we are prioritizing

These issues are being worked on by us (in order of priority).

• Backup import failure #3083
• Reorder install.sh to update docker images before shutting down #4192
• Objectstore S3 backend implementation
• SeaweedFS consuming high RAM usage #4142
• Timeouts in large clickhouse eap_items_1_local #3952 -- New feature requires extensive clickhouse query, it's slow!
• Snuba Docker image includes .rustup and .cargo in final runtime stage, causing unnecessary 1GB+ size increase snuba#7516
• Error upgrading Sentry 26.4.0: Migration explore.0007_update_numeric_attrs_to_bools is applied before its dependency sentry.1055_rename_regiontombstone_to_celltombstone #4286
• Make custom certificates to work with non-Sentry containers #4193
• Cleaning nodestore_node table #1808 -- Current nodestore lives in Postgres and is causing lots of disk storage issues. We're trying to move to S3 or filesystem-based implementation. A draft for S3 with Garage is available here as a blueprint feat: Use S3 node store with seaweedfs #3498
• Enable logs for 25.9.0 release
• Support Podman (and Podman Compose) #369 -- PR link: feat(install): Adds support for podman(compose) #3673 -- supported now! Some follow ups are:
  • Lower Docker Compose version requirement #3839
  • Run integration tests with Podman #3840
• Enable uptime monitoring for 25.7.0 release -- Available now!
• uWSGI reports full listen queue #1573
• Enable Dynamic Sampling #1866 -- It is long overdue
• DockerHub reduced the maximum pulls per hour, causing people can't pull all the images properly #3593 -- We're there! Just a couple of testing and tweaks until we can fully say it's done
• Support ARM64 #1585 -- Available now!

What features you can expect to land on self-hosted

• Add Native OTLP Ingestion #3830
• Add Trace Metrics #3993
• Add Build Distribution & Size Analysis #4182 (coming very soon)
• https://github.com/getsentry/seer (AI/ML/Autofix features -- still a long way) (Q: Is it a private repo? A: yes, here's why)
• Add Uptime Monitoring #3304
• Add New Trace Explorer + Span-based Metrics #3592
• Add Ourlogs #3560

This is awesome!

Using Sentry, specifically self-hosted Sentry has been a life changer at work. We're a small team and using self-hosted allowed us to dip our feet into proper error logging. Now we've been able to fix hundreds of tiny issues in our code that would not have been easily found with our old error logging solution, so our application is performing better than ever. Thank you!

I'm extremely excited for Uptime Monitoring as well as Logging. I had been tasked with finding a centralized logging solution for our multiple applications and I think I may just wait for Sentry Logging instead.

Hello, even if seer isn't actually intended to work on self-hosted sentry instances, I wanted to have a go and see myself what was actually missing in order to make it work.
But it seems the repo is now private or doesn't exist anymore :'(
I didn't find any comment about the status of https://github.com/getsentry/seer
Is this project still open source ?

@ministicraft thanks for asking about this! Unfortunately Seer became closed source recently and there's a PR to update the docs accordingly: https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-docs/pull/14204/files
