Use this Sentry status guide to confirm error tracking outages fast, troubleshoot SDK ingestion or alert delivery issues, and get real-time monitoring for the moment Sentry goes down.
How do I quickly check if Sentry is down?
- 1. Check status.sentry.io for Ingest and Processing status.
- 2. Send a test Sentry.captureException() call.
- 3. Inspect SDK requests to ingest.sentry.io.
- 4. Use independent monitoring to confirm.
TLDR: Sentry is currently believed to be operational. Check the official Sentry status page or apistatuscheck.com for real-time status.
Check the official Sentry status page
Sentry publishes real-time incident updates, SDK ingestion degradation notices, and maintenance windows at its official status dashboard.
status.sentry.ioLook for community reports
Crowd-sourced signals from developers on Downdetector and Twitter/X can confirm widespread Sentry ingestion or alert failures quickly.
Downdetector reportsVerify with independent monitoring
Use API Status Check for third-party monitoring that tracks Sentry historical incidents and uptime from multiple vantage points.
Sentry on API Status CheckWhat happens when Sentry goes down?
Errors not appearing in Sentry dashboard
SDK ingestion failures mean captured exceptions never reach Sentry's servers. Events may be silently dropped without any error on the client side.
Alert notifications not delivering
Sentry alert rules may fail to fire — meaning email, Slack, or PagerDuty notifications don't arrive even when new issues are created.
Performance monitoring data missing
Transaction traces and performance metrics may stop flowing to Sentry dashboards during platform-level ingestion incidents.
Releases and deploys not tracking
Release tracking and commit association may break during Sentry incidents, making it impossible to correlate new errors with deploys.
Protect Your Sentry DSN Keys
Sentry DSN keys and auth tokens are high-value targets. 1Password stores Sentry credentials securely with team access controls, audit logs, and breach detection — so your error tracking stays secure.

- 1
Check status.sentry.io first
Sentry's status page is the fastest way to confirm platform-wide ingestion or UI failures. Look for "Ingest" and "Processing" component status.
- 2
Send a test event via the Sentry SDK
Run `Sentry.captureException(new Error("test"))` in your app and check if it appears. If it doesn't, ingestion is likely degraded.
- 3
Check your DSN and SDK configuration
Verify your Sentry DSN is correct and not rate-limited. Check SDK logs for transport errors or 429 responses from Sentry's ingest endpoint.
- 4
Inspect network requests to ingest.sentry.io
Use browser DevTools or server logs to check if requests to ingest.sentry.io are returning 5xx errors or timing out.
- 5
Review Sentry's rate limit headers
High-traffic applications may hit Sentry's rate limits. Check for `X-Sentry-Rate-Limits` headers in SDK responses.
What is Sentry's current status?
API Status Check tracks Sentry status with independent monitoring, uptime stats, and incident history so you can confirm error tracking outages quickly.
Independent Sentry status checks
API Status Check performs independent monitoring so you can verify Sentry status even when official updates are delayed.
Incident history and uptime data
Review recent incidents, response times, and reliability trends to understand Sentry platform stability over time.
Real-time alerts and integrations
Get notified with email alerts, RSS feeds, and webhooks when Sentry experiences a new incident.
What can I do during a Sentry outage?
Buffer errors locally during the outage
If using Sentry SDK's `beforeSend` hook, you can temporarily queue errors to localStorage or a local log file and replay them once Sentry recovers.
Enable a fallback error reporter
Configure a secondary error tracking service like Rollbar or Bugsnag as a failover to capture errors during Sentry downtime.
Use Sentry's envelope endpoint directly
Advanced users can proxy SDK events through their own server, queuing them until the Sentry ingest endpoint recovers.
Monitor recovery via API Status Check
Set up alerts on API Status Check to get notified the moment Sentry recovers from an ingestion or platform outage.

Frequently asked questions about Sentry status
Is Sentry down right now?
Check status.sentry.io and API Status Check for independent monitoring. If both show incidents in the Ingest or Processing components, Sentry is likely experiencing a widespread outage.
Is Sentry down for everyone or just me?
To determine if Sentry is down for everyone or just you: check status.sentry.io for active incidents in the Ingest or Processing components. Search Twitter/X for 'Sentry down' reports from other developers. Try accessing your Sentry project from a different browser or network. If errors from multiple different projects across your organization are all failing to appear, that confirms a platform-wide ingestion outage — not a per-project configuration issue.
Why are my errors not showing up in Sentry?
Missing errors can result from Sentry ingestion issues, SDK misconfiguration, rate limiting, or network problems between your app and ingest.sentry.io. Check status.sentry.io first, then verify your DSN and SDK logs.
How long do Sentry outages typically last?
Most Sentry incidents resolve within 30-90 minutes. Major ingestion outages affecting all projects are rare but can persist for several hours until the platform is fully recovered.
Why aren't Sentry alerts firing?
Alert delivery failures can occur when Sentry's notification pipeline is degraded. Check status.sentry.io for "Alerts" component status and verify your Slack/email integrations are still connected.
Can I still use Sentry during an outage?
The Sentry UI may remain accessible during ingestion-only outages, but new errors won't appear. Historical data and existing issues remain accessible.
How do I get Sentry outage alerts?
Subscribe to alerts on API Status Check to receive real-time notifications when Sentry has an incident — so you know immediately when error tracking is down.
