Proactive Monitoring

[schie]

Hello!

Does anyone have suggestions or experience w/ Monitoring tools for React Native?

I'm looking for something to monitor / proactively alert me of thrown errors and such.

I've never worked w/ those types of things, so I don't know where to start.

Thanks!

@schie We use Sentry and have been pretty happy with it. Sentry also allows you to run the server software yourself if that's important to you.

I've also heard good things about Bugsnag but haven't used it myself.

Both of these have a free tier you can try it out with (and maybe even stick with, depending on your usage).

We previously used Firebase Crashlytics (formerly Fabric's Crashlytics) but found it a lot less insightful/useful with RN since there wasn't a native understanding of RN stack traces, etc (don't know if this has improved in more recent years).

Thanks! I'll look into it.

Sentry is really awesome.
I've been using it for around a month now.

Thanks @liamjones !

their documentation is also amazing.

Yeah, a well documented project is always nicer to work with! 😄
