About

Capture crashes and errors from your Godot game with the official Sentry SDK — get stack traces, breadcrumbs, and performance data.

What it does

A native Godot extension that monitors game health during testing and production. It automatically reports failures and associates them with release, hardware, user, attachment, and feedback context. Platform-specific Sentry components carry the telemetry to real-time alerts and a web dashboard.

Why it's ranked here

A strong choice for teams already using Sentry and shipping Godot across several targets. The official extension spans desktop, mobile, web, GDScript, and C#, while exposing configuration inside Godot. Its platform-specific build layers add complexity, but the repository documents and tests them seriously.

What's good

Coverage goes beyond basic failures: release tracking, hardware details, user feedback, attachments, metrics, logging, and hang detection are represented. Prebuilt extension libraries reduce setup work. The project also maintains editor-integrated class documentation and separate tests for GDScript, native code, managed code, Android, web, and end-to-end behavior.

Tradeoffs

Current major releases require Godot 4.5 or later. Building from source needs several toolchains, with extra Android, Apple, web, and managed-language steps. Platform behavior is not perfectly uniform: the newly documented scoped telemetry is discarded with a warning on macOS and iOS.

How to use it well

Use it when a Godot team needs operational evidence from QA builds and released games, especially across multiple platforms or both GDScript and C#. Start with the prebuilt addon, configure it through project settings, and test reporting before release. It complements automated testing and player support workflows; it does not replace either.

Technical notes+

src/register_types.cpp registers public Godot classes plus backend-specific native, Android, Cocoa, and JavaScript implementations, creates the SentrySDK and SentryUnit singletons at scene initialization, and auto-initializes the SDK. SConstruct selects the backend by platform, builds shared GDExtension libraries, separates debug symbols, emits the extension manifest, and offers Android, iOS, and JavaScript bundle targets. CONTRIBUTING.md documents GDScript tests under project/test/, C++ tests under tests/cpp/, .NET tests under tests/dotnet/, integration tests under tests/integration/, and Playwright infrastructure under tests/web/. Sentry.Godot.slnx includes the managed library, analyzers, source generator, demo project, and generator and analyzer tests.
