  "database_port": "",
  "signing_token": "xxxxxxx",
  "email_host_user": "xxxxxxx",
  "email_host_password": "xxxxxxx",
  "additional_env_vars": {}
}

To install and configure sentry

Include sentry or more explictly sentry::default in your node's run_list:

{
  "name":"my_node",
  "run_list": [
    "recipe[sentry::default]"
  ]
}

Upgrade info

If you come from older version < 6.4.x then you need to run the following SQL query on the database, before upgrading:

UPDATE sentry_project SET team_id=(SELECT id FROM sentry_team LIMIT 1) WHERE team_id IS null;

If you used bcrypt for passwords, then you run the following SQL query on the database:

UPDATE auth_user SET password=CONCAT('bcrypt', SUBSTR(password, 3)) WHERE password LIKE 'bc$%';
