Sentry:...ocessor(3)

💅 Sentry:...ocessor(3) — bestie, it’s giving Perl docs 💅

This page is from the User Contributed Perl Documentation, and it’s all about Sentry::Raven::Processor, aka the little event-glow-up machine for Sentry. 🦋

---

✨ NAME ✨

Sentry::Raven::Processor — Sentry event processors. Periodt. 💖

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

use Sentry::Raven;
use Sentry::Raven::Processor::RemoveStackVariables;

my $raven = Sentry::Raven->new(
  processors => [ Sentry::Raven::Processor::RemoveStackVariables ],
);

That’s the whole vibe: you pull in Sentry::Raven, then you pull in Sentry::Raven::Processor::RemoveStackVariables, and then you hand that processor over in the processors array when you make your Sentry::Raven object. Slay. ✨

---

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

Okay so processors are the mechanism for modifying events after they are generated but before they are posted to the sentry service. Highkey useful. 💅

They’re great for scrubbing sensitive data — think passwords and other things that should absolutely not be out here in the group chat — and they’re also useful for adding additional context. 👑

🧚 STANDARD PROCESSORS 🧚

The original page has this heading and then… no entries under it before IMPLEMENTING A PROCESSOR. So bestie, there are literally no standard processors listed here. Not me inventing any. 💀

---

🔥 IMPLEMENTING A PROCESSOR 🔥

Processors must have the following class methods:

⭐ $processed_event = My::Processor->process($event) ⭐

This is the interface for processing events. It returns a modified version of the event. That’s it, that’s the whole method. Simple, iconic, no cap. 🫶

---

Lowkey important: processors only do their thing after events are generated and before they get posted to the sentry service. Do not forget the order, bestie. 😭
