Query, investigate, and manage Sentry issues using the guidelines below.

Environment Setup

Authentication

The Sentry auth token and org are available as shell environment variables:

# Verify they exist
echo "$SENTRY_AUTH_TOKEN" | head -c 10
echo "$SENTRY_ORG"  # Should be "vm0"

CLI

Use npx @sentry/cli for CLI commands. All commands require -o $SENTRY_ORG.

If Token is Missing

Ask the user to sync environment variables:

./scripts/sync-env.sh

Sentry Web API

For details the CLI doesn't provide (stack traces, event details, tags), use the Sentry Web API directly with curl.

Get Issue Details

curl -s -H "Authorization: Bearer $SENTRY_AUTH_TOKEN" \
  "https://sentry.io/api/0/organizations/$SENTRY_ORG/issues/<ISSUE_ID>/" | python3 -m json.tool

Key fields: title, culprit, status, count, userCount, firstSeen, lastSeen, permalink

Get Latest Event for an Issue (with stack trace)

curl -s -H "Authorization: Bearer $SENTRY_AUTH_TOKEN" \
  "https://sentry.io/api/0/organizations/$SENTRY_ORG/issues/<ISSUE_ID>/events/latest/" | python3 -m json.tool

Key fields: entries[] (look for type: "exception" for stack traces), tags, contexts, user

Search Events by Query

curl -s -H "Authorization: Bearer $SENTRY_AUTH_TOKEN" \
  "https://sentry.io/api/0/organizations/$SENTRY_ORG/events/?project=<PROJECT_ID>&query=<SEARCH>&field=title&field=timestamp&field=user.display&per_page=10" | python3 -m json.tool

Get Issue Tags Distribution

curl -s -H "Authorization: Bearer $SENTRY_AUTH_TOKEN" \
  "https://sentry.io/api/0/organizations/$SENTRY_ORG/issues/<ISSUE_ID>/tags/" | python3 -m json.tool

Update Issue Status via API

# Resolve
curl -s -X PUT -H "Authorization: Bearer $SENTRY_AUTH_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"status": "resolved"}' \
  "https://sentry.io/api/0/organizations/$SENTRY_ORG/issues/<ISSUE_ID>/"

# Ignore (mute)
curl -s -X PUT -H "Authorization: Bearer $SENTRY_AUTH_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"status": "ignored"}' \
  "https://sentry.io/api/0/organizations/$SENTRY_ORG/issues/<ISSUE_ID>/"

# Resolve in next release
curl -s -X PUT -H "Authorization: Bearer $SENTRY_AUTH_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"status": "resolved", "statusDetails": {"inNextRelease": true}}' \
  "https://sentry.io/api/0/organizations/$SENTRY_ORG/issues/<ISSUE_ID>/"

Bulk Update Issues

# Resolve multiple issues at once
curl -s -X PUT -H "Authorization: Bearer $SENTRY_AUTH_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"status": "resolved"}' \
  "https://sentry.io/api/0/projects/$SENTRY_ORG/<PROJECT_SLUG>/issues/?id=<ID1>&id=<ID2>"

Project IDs

When using API endpoints that require numeric project IDs:

Common Workflows

Investigate a specific error

1. List unresolved issues to find the issue ID
2. Get issue details via API for summary (count, affected users, first/last seen)
3. Get latest event via API for the full stack trace
4. Get tags distribution to understand which browsers/releases are affected
5. Optionally resolve or mute the issue

Check release health after deploy

1. List recent releases to find the version
2. List issues with firstSeen:-1h to find new issues since deploy
3. If a new issue is clearly caused by the deploy, investigate and fix

Triage unresolved issues

1. List all unresolved issues sorted by frequency
2. For each issue, check count and userCount to prioritize
3. Investigate high-impact issues first
4. Resolve issues that are already fixed, mute noise

Sentry Search Syntax

The --query flag and API query parameter use Sentry search syntax:

Combine queries: is:unresolved level:error firstSeen:-1h

Key Rules

• Always specify -p <project> when using the CLI — omitting it queries all projects which is slow
• Use issue ID (numeric) for resolve/mute operations, not the short ID (e.g., use 7410283729, not PLATFORM-20)
• Prefer CLI for listing and bulk operations — it formats output as readable tables
• Use API for detailed investigation — stack traces, tags, event context are only available via API
• Include the Sentry permalink when reporting issues to the user — it links directly to the Sentry UI
