// Import this first!
import "./instrument";

// Now import other modules
import { NestFactory } from "@nestjs/core";
import { AppModule } from "./app.module";

async function bootstrap() {
  const app = await NestFactory.create(AppModule);
  await app.listen(3000);
}

bootstrap();

Afterwards, add the SentryModule as a root module to your main module:

import { Module } from "@nestjs/common";
import { SentryModule } from "@sentry/nestjs/setup";
import { AppController } from "./app.controller";
import { AppService } from "./app.service";

@Module({
  imports: [
    SentryModule.forRoot(),
    // ...other modules
  ],
  controllers: [AppController],
  providers: [AppService],
})
export class AppModule {}

If you're using a global catch-all exception filter (which is either a filter registered with app.useGlobalFilters() or a filter registered in your app module providers annotated with a @Catch() decorator without arguments), add a @SentryExceptionCaptured() decorator to the filter's catch() method. This decorator will report all unexpected errors that are received by your global error filter to Sentry:

import { Catch, ExceptionFilter } from '@nestjs/common';
import { SentryExceptionCaptured } from '@sentry/nestjs';

@Catch()
export class YourCatchAllExceptionFilter implements ExceptionFilter {
  @SentryExceptionCaptured()
  catch(exception, host): void {
    // your implementation here
  }
}

{/* TODO(v9): Remove this note */} Note that @SentryExceptionCaptured() was called @WithSentry in SDK versions 8.38.0 and prior.

If you don't have a global catch-all exception filter, add the SentryGlobalFilter to the providers of your main module. This filter will report any unhandled errors that aren't caught by other error filters to Sentry. Important: The SentryGlobalFilter needs to be registered before any other exception filters.

import { Module } from "@nestjs/common";
import { APP_FILTER } from "@nestjs/core";
import { SentryGlobalFilter } from "@sentry/nestjs/setup";

@Module({
  providers: [
    {
      provide: APP_FILTER,
      useClass: SentryGlobalFilter,
    },
    // ..other providers
  ],
})
export class AppModule {}

Note: In NestJS + GraphQL applications replace the SentryGlobalFilter with the SentryGlobalGraphQLFilter.

By default, exceptions with status code 4xx are not sent to Sentry. If you still want to capture these exceptions, you can do so manually with Sentry.captureException():

import { ArgumentsHost, BadRequestException, Catch } from '@nestjs/common';
import { BaseExceptionFilter } from '@nestjs/core';
import { ExampleException } from './example.exception';
import * as Sentry from '@sentry/nestjs';

@Catch(ExampleException)
export class ExampleExceptionFilter extends BaseExceptionFilter {
  catch(exception: unknown, host: ArgumentsHost) {
    Sentry.captureException(exception);
    return super.catch(new BadRequestException(exception.message), host)
  }
}
