Quick Start

Get your first error event into Tindra in under five minutes.

Prerequisites#

• A Tindra instance (managed or self-hosted. See Self-Hosting)
• Your project DSN from Settings > Client Keys in the dashboard

Step 1: Install an SDK#

All standard Sentry SDKs work with Tindra. No Tindra-specific package required.

Step 2: Configure the DSN#

Point the SDK at your Tindra instance instead of sentry.io. The DSN format is identical.

Laravel#

composer require sentry/sentry-laravel

In .env:

SENTRY_LARAVEL_DSN=https://your-key@your-hostname.tindra.sh/1

Publish the config:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Sentry\Laravel\ServiceProvider"

JavaScript#

npm install @sentry/browser

import * as Sentry from '@sentry/browser';

Sentry.init({
  dsn: 'https://your-key@your-hostname.tindra.sh/1',
});

Node.js#

npm install @sentry/node

import * as Sentry from '@sentry/node';

Sentry.init({
  dsn: 'https://your-key@your-hostname.tindra.sh/1',
});

Python#

pip install sentry-sdk

import sentry_sdk

sentry_sdk.init(
    dsn="https://your-key@your-hostname.tindra.sh/1",
)

Step 3: Send a test event#

Laravel#

php artisan sentry:test

JavaScript / Node.js#

Sentry.captureException(new Error('Hello Tindra'));

Python#

sentry_sdk.capture_exception(Exception("Hello Tindra"))

Step 4: Verify#

Open your dashboard and go to Issues. Your test event should appear within seconds. Click it to see the stacktrace, breadcrumbs, and request context.

Troubleshooting#

Events not appearing?

1. Confirm the DSN is correct and points to your Tindra hostname.
2. For managed instances, check your instance is running (green status in the dashboard).
3. Check that the SDK is not suppressing events in your environment (sample rate, environment filters, etc.).

For SDK-specific config, see the SDK guides.
