Collect diagnostic information for Sentry troubleshooting and support tickets. Use when events are not appearing in Sentry, SDK initialization seems broken, DSN connectivity fails, source maps are not resolving, or preparing a support request. Trigger with "sentry debug info", "sentry diagnostics", "debug bundle", "sentry support ticket".

What this skill does

# Sentry Debug Bundle

## Overview

Collect SDK versions, configuration state, network connectivity, and event delivery status into a single diagnostic report. Attach the output to Sentry support tickets or use it to systematically isolate why events are not reaching the dashboard.

## Current State

!`node --version 2>/dev/null || echo 'Node.js not found'`
!`python3 --version 2>/dev/null || echo 'Python3 not found'`
!`npm list @sentry/node @sentry/browser @sentry/react @sentry/cli 2>/dev/null | grep sentry || pip show sentry-sdk 2>/dev/null | grep -E '^(Name|Version)' || echo 'No Sentry SDK found'`
!`sentry-cli --version 2>/dev/null || echo 'sentry-cli not installed'`
!`sentry-cli info 2>/dev/null || echo 'sentry-cli not authenticated'`

## Prerequisites

- At least one Sentry SDK installed (`@sentry/node`, `@sentry/browser`, `@sentry/react`, or `sentry-sdk` for Python)
- `SENTRY_DSN` environment variable set (or DSN configured in application code)
- For API checks: `SENTRY_AUTH_TOKEN` with `project:read` scope ([generate token](https://sentry.io/settings/auth-tokens/))
- Optional: `sentry-cli` installed for source map diagnostics and `send-event` tests

## Instructions

### Step 1 — Gather SDK Version, Configuration, and Init Hooks

Identify the installed SDK, verify all `@sentry/*` packages share the same version (mismatches cause silent failures), and extract the runtime configuration.

**Check installed packages:**

```bash
# Node.js — list all Sentry packages and flag version mismatches
npm ls @sentry/node @sentry/browser @sentry/react @sentry/nextjs @sentry/cli 2>/dev/null | grep sentry

# Python — show sentry-sdk version and installed extras
pip show sentry-sdk 2>/dev/null
```

**Extract runtime configuration (Node.js):**

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

const client = Sentry.getClient();
if (!client) {
  console.error('ERROR: Sentry client not initialized — Sentry.init() may not have been called');
  process.exit(1);
}

const opts = client.getOptions();
const diagnostics = {
  sdk_version: Sentry.SDK_VERSION,
  dsn_configured: !!opts.dsn,
  dsn_host: opts.dsn ? new URL(opts.dsn).hostname : 'N/A',
  dsn_project_id: opts.dsn ? new URL(opts.dsn).pathname.replace('/', '') : 'N/A',
  environment: opts.environment ?? '(default)',
  release: opts.release ?? '(auto-detect)',
  debug: opts.debug ?? false,
  sample_rate: opts.sampleRate ?? 1.0,
  traces_sample_rate: opts.tracesSampleRate ?? '(not set)',
  profiles_sample_rate: opts.profilesSampleRate ?? '(not set)',
  send_default_pii: opts.sendDefaultPii ?? false,
  max_breadcrumbs: opts.maxBreadcrumbs ?? 100,
  before_send: typeof opts.beforeSend === 'function' ? 'CONFIGURED' : 'none',
  before_send_transaction: typeof opts.beforeSendTransaction === 'function' ? 'CONFIGURED' : 'none',
  before_breadcrumb: typeof opts.beforeBreadcrumb === 'function' ? 'CONFIGURED' : 'none',
  integrations: client.getOptions().integrations?.map(i => i.name) ?? [],
  transport: opts.transport ? 'custom' : 'default',
};

console.log(JSON.stringify(diagnostics, null, 2));
```

**Extract runtime configuration (Python):**

```python
import sentry_sdk
from sentry_sdk import Hub

client = Hub.current.client
if not client:
    print("ERROR: Sentry client not initialized")
    exit(1)

opts = client.options
print(f"SDK version:       {sentry_sdk.VERSION}")
print(f"DSN configured:    {bool(opts.get('dsn'))}")
print(f"Environment:       {opts.get('environment', '(default)')}")
print(f"Release:           {opts.get('release', '(auto-detect)')}")
print(f"Debug:             {opts.get('debug', False)}")
print(f"Sample rate:       {opts.get('sample_rate', 1.0)}")
print(f"Traces sample rate:{opts.get('traces_sample_rate', '(not set)')}")
print(f"Send default PII:  {opts.get('send_default_pii', False)}")
print(f"before_send:       {'CONFIGURED' if opts.get('before_send') else 'none'}")
print(f"before_breadcrumb: {'CONFIGURED' if opts.get('before_breadcrumb') else 'none'}")
print(f"Integrations:      {[i.identifier for i in client.integrations.values()]}")
```

> **Key check:** If `beforeSend` is CONFIGURED, inspect the function — a `beforeSend` that returns `null` will silently drop every event.

### Step 2 — Verify DSN Connectivity and Sentry Service Status

Confirm the application can reach Sentry's ingest endpoint and that Sentry itself is operational.

**Test DSN reachability:**

```bash
# Test the Sentry API root (should return HTTP 200)
curl -s -o /dev/null -w "sentry.io API: HTTP %{http_code} (%{time_total}s)\n" \
  https://sentry.io/api/0/

# Test the ingest endpoint derived from your DSN
# DSN format: https://<PUBLIC_KEY>@o<ORG_ID>.ingest.sentry.io/<PROJECT_ID>
# Extract host from DSN and test the envelope endpoint
curl -s -o /dev/null -w "Ingest endpoint: HTTP %{http_code} (%{time_total}s)\n" \
  "https://o0.ingest.sentry.io/api/0/envelope/"

# DNS resolution check
dig +short o0.ingest.sentry.io 2>/dev/null || nslookup o0.ingest.sentry.io

# Check for proxy/firewall interference
curl -v https://sentry.io/api/0/ 2>&1 | grep -iE 'proxy|blocked|forbidden|connect'
```

**Check Sentry service status:**

Visit [https://status.sentry.io](https://status.sentry.io) or:

```bash
# Programmatic status check
curl -s https://status.sentry.io/api/v2/status.json | python3 -c "
import sys, json
d = json.load(sys.stdin)
print(f\"Sentry Status: {d['status']['description']}\")
print(f\"Updated:       {d['page']['updated_at']}\")
"
```

**Verify auth token and project access (requires `SENTRY_AUTH_TOKEN`):**

```bash
# Check token validity and list accessible projects
curl -s -H "Authorization: Bearer $SENTRY_AUTH_TOKEN" \
  https://sentry.io/api/0/projects/ | python3 -c "
import sys, json
projects = json.load(sys.stdin)
if isinstance(projects, dict) and 'detail' in projects:
    print(f'Auth error: {projects[\"detail\"]}')
else:
    for p in projects[:10]:
        print(f\"  {p['organization']['slug']}/{p['slug']} (platform: {p.get('platform', 'N/A')})\")"

# sentry-cli auth check
sentry-cli info 2>/dev/null || echo "sentry-cli not authenticated — run: sentry-cli login"
```

### Step 3 — Test Event Capture, Verify Delivery, and Generate Report

Send a diagnostic test event, confirm it arrives in Sentry, and produce the final debug bundle report.

**Send test event via sentry-cli:**

```bash
# Quick test — sends a test message event
sentry-cli send-event -m "diagnostic test from debug-bundle $(date -u +%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ)"
```

**Send test event programmatically (Node.js):**

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

Sentry.init({
  dsn: process.env.SENTRY_DSN,
  debug: true, // Enables console logging of SDK internals
});

const eventId = Sentry.captureMessage('sentry-debug-bundle diagnostic test', 'info');
console.log(`Test event ID: ${eventId}`);
console.log(`View at: https://sentry.io/organizations/YOUR_ORG/issues/?query=${eventId}`);

// CRITICAL: Node.js will exit before async transport completes without flush
const flushed = await Sentry.flush(10000);
console.log(`Flush: ${flushed ? 'SUCCESS — event delivered' : 'TIMEOUT — event may not have been sent'}`);

if (!flushed) {
  console.error('Flush timeout. Possible causes:');
  console.error('  - Network blocking outbound HTTPS to sentry.io');
  console.error('  - DSN is invalid or project has been deleted');
  console.error('  - Rate limit exceeded (HTTP 429)');
}
```

**Send test event programmatically (Python):**

```python
import sentry_sdk
import time

sentry_sdk.init(dsn="YOUR_DSN", debug=True)

event_id = sentry_sdk.capture_message("sentry-debug-bundle diagnostic test", level="info")
print(f"Test event ID: {event_id}")

# Python SDK flushes automatically on exit, but explicit flush is safer
sentry_sdk.flush(timeout=10)
print("Flush complete — check Sentry dashboard for event")
```

**Generate the debug bundle report:**

```bash
#!/bin/bash
set -euo pipefail

REPORT="sentry-debug-$(date +%Y%m%d-%H%M%S).md"

cat > "$REPORT" << 'HEADER'
# Sentry Debu
