Automate the process for new service registrations via providing DSN

1

Hello,

The question is basically relates to sentry-spring java projects.
Nevertheless, it can be used in general as well

Currently, we have such an approach to register service on Sentry (separate project for new service):

  1. Create a new project on Sentry
  2. Update service with Sentry related configuration
  3. Put Sentry project DSN to service configuration (sentry.properties)

This approach requires manual configuration. And my goal is to avoid it.
For example, I want to have created Sentry project via REST call and if it’s required - provide DSN as external call as well

In this way, I would avoid copy-pasting DSN in a service configuration

Does anybody know such a way I could use for this purpose or at least an ideas about it

The UI uses a REST interface for most operations, and most of that REST interface is documented. Have a look at https://docs.sentry.io/api/, in your case you need to create a project and create a new client key.

Yes, I’ve checked it and did these steps.
In this case, the client key (DSN) is generating randomly.

For example, I want to have a key exactly the same as the project name.
I didn’t find a way to specify the key myself

You cannot specify the key as its a randomly generated secret.
