Sentry for Ruby

Ruby error tracking that reads like Ruby

One gem for Ruby error tracking and request monitoring — auto-wired on Rails through a Railtie, one configure block everywhere else, unified with logs, uptime, and infrastructure on the same platform.

Why Ruby and Rails teams need real error tracking

A RuntimeError in production Rails lands in log/production.log on one of several dynos or servers, minutes before the log rotates. Was it a new bug or the same one from last week? Did it start with Friday's deploy? Which controller action raised it, and how many requests hit it? Without proper Ruby error tracking, every one of those answers costs an engineer an afternoon of grep — and the slow Rack request degrading your checkout never shows up at all.

The official Sentry Ruby SDK answers them and sends events to AllStak through your project DSN. Initialize Sentry before the application boots and use the official Rails or Rack integration for automatic capture. Errors arrive grouped by release and environment in AllStak.

Full-stack Ruby monitoring

From the first unhandled exception to the host it ran on, AllStak covers your Ruby and Rails apps across every layer.

Error tracking

Capture exceptions with full Ruby backtraces, environment, and release — grouped so a thousand occurrences of the same bug read as one issue, not a thousand.

Rails auto-wiring

On Ruby on Rails a Railtie wires the SDK in and inserts the Rack middleware automatically — configure once in an initializer and no further wiring is needed.

Request tracking

Inbound requests are tracked by the Rack middleware — auto-inserted on Rails, one use line on plain Rack — so you see which endpoints fail and which ones drag.

Log management

Centralize logs from every Ruby service next to the errors they relate to, searchable from the same dashboard instead of rotating files.

Infrastructure monitoring

Standard collectors report CPU, memory, disk, network, and Docker telemetry so you can separate application errors from worker resource pressure.

Alerts & incidents

Get notified on new errors, spikes, and threshold breaches via Slack, email, webhooks, PagerDuty, Opsgenie, or Telegram — with incidents that keep on-call organized.

Add AllStak in minutes

Install the gem and configure with a block before the app boots — on Rails the Railtie does the rest automatically.

config/initializers/sentry.rb
gem install sentry-ruby

require "sentry-ruby"

Sentry.init do |config|
  config.dsn = ENV["ALLSTAK_DSN"]
  config.environment = ENV.fetch("APP_ENV", "production")
  config.release = ENV["APP_VERSION"]
end

For Rails, use the official sentry-rails integration; for plain Rack apps, follow the official Rack integration. Verify a test event before rollout. full setup guide · SDK reference.

What you see in AllStak

Error detail with full context

Open any issue to a full Ruby backtrace, the environment and release it came from, and how often and how recently it fired — everything triage needs on one screen.

Requests & performance

Per-endpoint latency and error rates from the Rack middleware show exactly which route degraded and when — no production.log spelunking required.

Unified real-time dashboard

Errors, requests, logs, and host health for all your Ruby apps update live on one dashboard — in English or Arabic — so the whole team shares the same picture.

Why teams pick AllStak for Ruby

  • One platform for errors, requests, logs, uptime, and infrastructure — one bill, no tool sprawl.
  • Rails auto-wiring via a Railtie: one configure block and the Rack middleware inserts itself.
  • The same gem covers plain Ruby and Rack apps — add the middleware in one line.
  • Releases and environments separate your data, so a regression points at the deploy that caused it.
  • Predictable SAR pricing with a genuine free tier — start without a credit card.
  • Data stays in Saudi Arabia, with an English and Arabic dashboard for the whole team.

Ruby monitoring FAQ

How do I add error tracking to a Ruby app?

Add gem "sentry-ruby" to your Gemfile and initialize it with the DSN from AllStak project setup before the app boots. Use the official Rack or Rails integration for automatic capture.

Does AllStak support Ruby on Rails?

Yes. On Rails the gem is auto-wired via a Railtie: configure it once in an initializer and the Rack middleware is inserted automatically, so errors and inbound requests are tracked with no further wiring. Non-Rails Rack apps add the same middleware with one use line.

Is AllStak free for Ruby?

Yes. AllStak has a free tier you can start on without a credit card, and predictable SAR pricing as you grow. The Ruby gem itself is free to use.

Is AllStak a Sentry or Honeybadger alternative for Rails?

Yes. You get Ruby error tracking with grouping, releases, and Rails auto-wiring — plus request tracking, logs, uptime, and infrastructure monitoring on the same platform, consolidated with SAR pricing and data stored in Saudi Arabia instead of a stack of separate subscriptions.

Will the gem slow down my Ruby app?

The gem is built for production: it hooks in once through the Rack middleware rather than wrapping your application code, so capture rides the request lifecycle the framework already runs. You get visibility without meaningfully impacting response times.
