When exceptions occur in production environments we need to be notified. We currently use [Errbit][] for this but are in the process of migrating to [Sentry][].

## What is Sentry?

Sentry is an open source error tracking tool. There's a company called [Sentry.io][] that provides the application as a SaaS product, which we're using.

## Configuring Sentry

We configure Sentry using [govuk-sentry-config][]. It reads from the docs and makes sure all the configuration is set up correctly.
