Set Up Profiling

With profiling, Sentry allows you to collect and analyze performance profiles from real user devices in production to give you a complete picture of how your application performs in a variety of environments.

Enable Performance Monitoring

Profiling depends on Sentry’s performance monitoring product being enabled beforehand. To enable performance monitoring in the SDK:

In AndroidManifest.xml:

<application>
    <meta-data android:name="io.sentry.dsn" android:value="https://examplePublicKey@o0.ingest.sentry.io/0" />
    <meta-data android:name="io.sentry.traces.sample-rate" android:value="1.0" />
</application>

Check out the performance setup documentation for more detailed information on how to configure sampling. Setting the sample rate to 1.0 means all transactions will be captured.

By default, some transactions will be created automatically for common operations like loading a view controller/activity and app startup.

Enable Profiling

In AndroidManifest.xml:

<application>
    <meta-data android:name="io.sentry.dsn" android:value="https://examplePublicKey@o0.ingest.sentry.io/0" />
    <meta-data android:name="io.sentry.traces.sample-rate" android:value="1.0" />
    <meta-data android:name="io.sentry.traces.profiling.sample-rate" android:value="1.0" />
</application>
