+# Sentry Integration Examples for mtlog
+
+Send your Go application logs to Sentry with structured context, breadcrumbs, and error tracking.
+
+## Quick Start
+
+### Prerequisites
+- Docker and Docker Compose installed
+- Go 1.21 or later
+- About 5GB of disk space for Sentry containers
+
+### Step 1: Set Up Local Sentry
+
+From the mtlog root directory:
+
+```bash
+# 1. Download and configure Sentry (one-time setup)
+./adapters/sentry/scripts/setup-integration-test.sh
+
+# 2. Navigate to docker directory
+cd docker
+
+# 3. Start and initialize Sentry
+../adapters/sentry/scripts/initialize-sentry-pipeline.sh
+
+# 4. Verify everything is working
+../adapters/sentry/scripts/verify-sentry-pipeline.sh
+```
+
+The initialization script will display your DSN. Save it for the next step:
+```
+DSN: http://[your-key]@localhost:9000/1
+```
+
+### Step 2: Run the Examples
+
+Set your DSN and run any example:
+
+```bash
+# Set the DSN from Step 1
+export SENTRY_DSN="http://[your-key]@localhost:9000/1"
+
+# Run an example
+cd adapters/sentry/examples/basic
+go run main.go
+```
+
+### Step 3: View Events in Sentry
+
+1. Open http://localhost:9000 in your browser
+2. Log in with:
+   - Email: `admin@test.local`
+   - Password: `admin`
+3. Navigate to **Issues** to see your logged errors
+
+## Examples Overview
+
+### 📁 basic/
+**Simple error logging with Sentry integration**
+
+Shows the fundamentals of sending errors to Sentry:
+- Creating a Sentry sink with DSN
+- Logging errors that appear as issues in Sentry
+- Basic configuration options
+
+```go
+// Create Sentry sink
+sentrySink, _ := sentry.WithSentry(dsn,
+    sentry.WithEnvironment("production"),
+    sentry.WithRelease("v1.0.0"),
+)
+
+// Log an error - this will appear in Sentry
+logger.Error("Payment failed: {Error}", paymentErr)
+```
+
+**Run it:** `cd basic && go run main.go`
+
+### 📁 breadcrumbs/
+**Shows how debug/info logs become breadcrumbs attached to errors**
+
+Demonstrates Sentry's breadcrumb trail feature:
+- Info and Debug logs are captured as breadcrumbs
+- When an error occurs, breadcrumbs provide context
+- Shows the user's journey leading to the error
+
+```go
+// These become breadcrumbs
+logger.Debug("User session started")
+logger.Information("Loading user preferences")
+logger.Warning("Slow query detected")
+
+// This error will have all the above as breadcrumbs
+logger.Error("Transaction failed: {Error}", err)
+```
+
+**Run it:** `cd breadcrumbs && go run main.go`
+
+### 📁 context/
+**Demonstrates adding user context and custom tags**
+
+Advanced context enrichment:
+- Attach user information to errors
+- Add custom tags for filtering in Sentry
+- Set request context for API errors
+- Custom device and location data
+
+```go
+// Add user context
+ctx = sentry.WithUser(ctx, sentrygo.User{
+    ID:    "user-123",
+    Email: "user@example.com",
+})
+
+// Add custom tags
+ctx = sentry.WithTags(ctx, map[string]string{
+    "region": "us-west-2",
+    "plan":   "premium",
+})
+
+// Errors will include this context
+logger.WithContext(ctx).Error("Subscription failed")
+```
+
+**Run it:** `cd context && go run main.go`
+
+## Configuration Guide
+
+### Basic Configuration
+
+```go
+sentrySink, err := sentry.WithSentry(dsn)
+```
+
+### With Options
+
+```go
+sentrySink, err := sentry.WithSentry(dsn,
+    // Environment (development, staging, production)
+    sentry.WithEnvironment("production"),
+    
+    // Release version for tracking deployments
+    sentry.WithRelease("v1.2.3"),
+    
+    // Server/host identification
+    sentry.WithServerName("api-server-01"),
+    
+    // Only send Error and Fatal levels to Sentry
+    sentry.WithMinLevel(core.ErrorLevel),
+    
+    // Capture Debug and above as breadcrumbs
+    sentry.WithBreadcrumbLevel(core.DebugLevel),
+    
+    // Maximum breadcrumbs to attach (default: 100)
+    sentry.WithMaxBreadcrumbs(100),
+)
+```
+
+### Using with mtlog
+
+```go
+logger := mtlog.New(
+    mtlog.WithConsole(),           // Local console output
+    mtlog.WithSink(sentrySink),    // Send to Sentry
+)
+defer logger.Close()
+
+// Use the logger normally
+logger.Information("User {UserId} logged in", userId)
+logger.Error("Payment failed: {Error}", err)
+```
+
+## How It Works
+
+When you log an error with mtlog's Sentry integration:
+
+1. **Error Level**: Messages at Error or Fatal level are sent to Sentry as events
+2. **Breadcrumbs**: Lower level logs (Debug, Info, Warning) become breadcrumbs
+3. **Context**: User info, tags, and custom data are automatically attached
+4. **Grouping**: Errors are grouped by message template in Sentry
+5. **Rich Data**: Stack traces, environment info, and metadata are preserved
+
+The message template becomes the issue title in Sentry, making it easy to track error patterns:
+- `"Database timeout for {Table}"` → Groups all database timeouts together
+- `"Payment failed: {Error}"` → Groups payment failures by error type
+
+## Testing with Production Sentry
+
+To use with Sentry SaaS instead of local:
+
+1. Get your DSN from your Sentry project settings
+2. Set the environment variable:
+   ```bash
+   export SENTRY_DSN="https://[key]@sentry.io/[project]"
+   ```
+3. Run any example normally
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Events Not Appearing in Sentry UI
+
+1. **Check the DSN**: Ensure SENTRY_DSN is set correctly
+2. **Wait a moment**: Events can take a few seconds to appear
+3. **Check filters**: The Sentry UI may be filtering by date/environment
+4. **Verify services**: Run `../scripts/verify-sentry-pipeline.sh`
+
+### Common Issues
+
+- **"Please set SENTRY_DSN"**: Export the DSN environment variable
+- **Connection refused**: Sentry services aren't running. Run the initialization script
+- **No events after restart**: Services need reinitialization after Docker restart
+
+### Stopping Sentry
+
+To stop the local Sentry instance:
+```bash
+cd docker
+docker-compose -f docker-compose.test.yml down
+```
+
+To completely remove all data:
+```bash
+docker-compose -f docker-compose.test.yml down -v
+```

Subject: [PATCH 03/10] refactor(sentry): extract Sentry adapter into separate
 module

- Move Sentry dependencies from root to adapters/sentry/go.mod
- Follow established pattern used by middleware, otel, and logr adapters
- Keep core library dependencies minimal

+
+## Installation
+
+```bash
+go get github.com/willibrandon/mtlog/adapters/sentry
+```
+
+## Quick Start
+
+```go
+package main
+
+import (
+    "github.com/willibrandon/mtlog"
+    "github.com/willibrandon/mtlog/adapters/sentry"
+    "github.com/willibrandon/mtlog/core"
+)
+
+func main() {
+    // Create Sentry sink
+    sentrySink, err := sentry.NewSentrySink(
+        "https://your-key@sentry.io/project-id",
+        sentry.WithEnvironment("production"),
+        sentry.WithRelease("v1.0.0"),
+    )
+    if err != nil {
+        panic(err)
+    }
+    defer sentrySink.Close()
+
+    // Create logger with Sentry
+    logger := mtlog.New(
+        mtlog.WithConsole(),
+        mtlog.WithSink(sentrySink),
+    )
+
+    // Log errors to Sentry
+    logger.Error("Database connection failed: {Error}", err)
+}
+```
+
+## Configuration Options
+
+### Basic Configuration
+
+```go
+sentrySink, _ := sentry.NewSentrySink(dsn,
+    // Environment and release tracking
+    sentry.WithEnvironment("production"),
+    sentry.WithRelease("v1.2.3"),
+    sentry.WithServerName("api-server-1"),
+    
+    // Level configuration
+    sentry.WithMinLevel(core.ErrorLevel),      // Only send errors and above
+    sentry.WithBreadcrumbLevel(core.DebugLevel), // Collect debug+ as breadcrumbs
+    
+    // Sampling
+    sentry.WithSampleRate(0.25), // Sample 25% of events
+    
+    // Batching
+    sentry.WithBatchSize(100),
+    sentry.WithBatchTimeout(5 * time.Second),
+    
+    // Breadcrumbs
+    sentry.WithMaxBreadcrumbs(50),
+)
+```
+
+### Retry Configuration
+
+Configure automatic retry for resilient error tracking:
+
+```go
+sentrySink, _ := sentry.NewSentrySink(dsn,
+    sentry.WithRetry(3, 1*time.Second),  // 3 retries with exponential backoff
+    sentry.WithRetryJitter(0.2),         // 20% jitter to prevent thundering herd
+)
+```
+
+The retry mechanism uses exponential backoff:
+- 1st retry: ~1 second
+- 2nd retry: ~2 seconds  
+- 3rd retry: ~4 seconds
+
+### Metrics Collection
+
+Monitor your Sentry integration health:
+
+```go
+// Enable metrics with periodic callback
+sentrySink, _ := sentry.NewSentrySink(dsn,
+    sentry.WithMetricsCallback(30*time.Second, func(m sentry.Metrics) {
+        fmt.Printf("Events sent: %d, Failed: %d, Retry rate: %.2f%%\n",
+            m.EventsSent, m.EventsFailed,
+            float64(m.RetryCount)/float64(m.EventsSent)*100)
+    }),
+)
+
+// Or retrieve metrics on demand
+metrics := sentrySink.Metrics()
+fmt.Printf("Average batch size: %.2f\n", metrics.AverageBatchSize)
+fmt.Printf("Last flush duration: %v\n", metrics.LastFlushDuration)
+```
+
+Available metrics:
+- **Event Statistics**: EventsSent, EventsDropped, EventsFailed, EventsRetried
+- **Breadcrumb Statistics**: BreadcrumbsAdded, BreadcrumbsEvicted
+- **Batch Statistics**: BatchesSent, AverageBatchSize
+- **Performance Metrics**: LastFlushDuration, TotalFlushTime
+- **Network Statistics**: RetryCount, NetworkErrors
+
+### Custom Fingerprinting
+
+Control how errors are grouped in Sentry:
+
+```go
+// Group by message template only
+sentrySink, _ := sentry.NewSentrySink(dsn,
+    sentry.WithFingerprinter(sentry.ByTemplate()),
+)
+
+// Group by template and error type
+sentrySink, _ := sentry.NewSentrySink(dsn,
+    sentry.WithFingerprinter(sentry.ByErrorType()),
+)
+
+// Group by template and user ID
+sentrySink, _ := sentry.NewSentrySink(dsn,
+    sentry.WithFingerprinter(sentry.ByProperty("UserId")),
+)
+
+// Group by multiple properties
+sentrySink, _ := sentry.NewSentrySink(dsn,
+    sentry.WithFingerprinter(sentry.ByMultipleProperties("TenantId", "Service")),
+)
+
+// Custom fingerprinting logic
+sentrySink, _ := sentry.NewSentrySink(dsn,
+    sentry.WithFingerprinter(sentry.Custom(func(event *core.LogEvent) string {
+        // Your custom logic here
+        return fmt.Sprintf("%s:%v", event.MessageTemplate, event.Properties["RequestId"])
+    })),
+)
+```
+
+### Environment Variables
+
+The adapter supports configuration via environment variables:
+
+```bash
+export SENTRY_DSN="https://xxx@sentry.io/project"
+```
+
+Then in your code:
+
+```go
+// Will use SENTRY_DSN if dsn is empty
+sentrySink, _ := sentry.NewSentrySink("",
+    sentry.WithEnvironment("production"),
+)
+```
+
+### Performance Monitoring / Transaction Tracking
+
+Track application performance with distributed tracing:
+
+```go
+import (
+    "context"
+    "github.com/willibrandon/mtlog/adapters/sentry"
+)
+
+// Start a transaction
+ctx := sentry.StartTransaction(context.Background(), 
+    "checkout-flow", "http.request")
+defer sentry.GetTransaction(ctx).Finish()
+
+// Track database operations
+dbCtx, finishDB := sentry.TraceDatabaseQuery(ctx, 
+    "SELECT * FROM orders WHERE id = ?", "orders_db")
+err := db.Query(dbCtx, orderID)
+finishDB(err)
+
+// Track HTTP requests
+httpCtx, finishHTTP := sentry.TraceHTTPRequest(ctx, 
+    "POST", "https://payment-api.com/charge")
+statusCode, err := client.Post(httpCtx, paymentData)
+finishHTTP(statusCode)
+
+// Track cache operations
+cacheCtx, finishCache := sentry.TraceCache(ctx, "get", "order:123")
+value, hit := cache.Get(cacheCtx, "order:123")
+finishCache(hit)
+
+// Measure custom operations
+err = sentry.MeasureSpan(ctx, "validate.inventory", func() error {
+    return inventory.Validate(items)
+})
+
+// Batch operations with metrics
+err = sentry.BatchSpan(ctx, "process.items", len(items), func() error {
+    return processItems(items)
+})
+```
+
+Available tracing functions:
+- `StartTransaction` - Begin a new transaction
+- `StartSpan` - Create a child span
+- `TraceHTTPRequest` - Track HTTP calls
+- `TraceDatabaseQuery` - Track database operations
+- `TraceCache` - Track cache hits/misses
+- `MeasureSpan` - Time any operation
+- `BatchSpan` - Track batch processing with throughput metrics
+- `TransactionMiddleware` - Wrap handlers with automatic tracing
+
+### Stack Trace Caching
+
+Optimize performance by caching stack traces for repeated errors:
+
+```go
+sentrySink, _ := sentry.NewSentrySink(dsn,
+    // Configure stack trace cache size (default: 1000)
+    sentry.WithStackTraceCacheSize(2000),
+    
+    // Disable caching if needed
+    // sentry.WithStackTraceCacheSize(0),
+)
+```
+
+Benefits:
+- **Reduced CPU usage** - Avoid repeated stack trace extraction
+- **Lower memory allocations** - Reuse cached stack traces
+- **LRU eviction** - Automatically manages cache size
+- **Thread-safe** - Concurrent access supported
+
+## Sampling
+
+Control which events are sent to Sentry to manage costs and reduce noise while maintaining visibility into critical issues.
+
+### Sampling Strategies
+
+#### 1. Fixed Rate Sampling
+Simple percentage-based sampling:
+
+```go
+sentrySink, _ := sentry.NewSentrySink(dsn,
+    sentry.WithSampling(0.1), // Sample 10% of events
+)
+```
+
+#### 2. Adaptive Sampling
+Automatically adjusts sampling rate based on traffic volume:
+
+```go
+sentrySink, _ := sentry.NewSentrySink(dsn,
+    sentry.WithAdaptiveSampling(100), // Target 100 events per second
+)
+```
+
+- Reduces sampling during traffic spikes
+- Increases sampling during low traffic
+- Maintains target event rate automatically
+
+#### 3. Priority-Based Sampling
+Sample based on event importance:
+
+```go
+sentrySink, _ := sentry.NewSentrySink(dsn,
+    sentry.WithPrioritySampling(0.05), // 5% base rate
+)
+```
+
+- Fatal events: Always sampled (100%)
+- Events with errors: Higher priority
+- Events with user context: Medium priority
+- Regular events: Base rate
+
+#### 4. Burst Detection Sampling
+Handles traffic bursts with automatic backoff:
+
+```go
+sentrySink, _ := sentry.NewSentrySink(dsn,
+    sentry.WithBurstSampling(1000), // Burst threshold: 1000 events/sec
+)
+```
+
+- Normal traffic: Full sampling
+- During burst: Reduced sampling (5-10%)
+- Automatic backoff period
+- Prevents overwhelming Sentry during incidents
+
+#### 5. Group-Based Sampling
+Limits events per error group:
+
+```go
+sentrySink, _ := sentry.NewSentrySink(dsn,
+    sentry.WithGroupSampling(10, time.Minute), // Max 10 per error type per minute
+)
+```
+
+- Prevents repetitive errors from flooding
+- Maintains visibility into all error types
+- Time-windowed limits
+
+#### 6. Sampling Profiles
+Pre-configured profiles for common scenarios:
+
+```go
+// Development - No sampling
+sentry.WithSamplingProfile(sentry.SamplingProfileDevelopment)
+
+// Production - Balanced sampling with adaptive rates
+sentry.WithSamplingProfile(sentry.SamplingProfileProduction)
+
+// High Volume - Aggressive sampling for high-traffic apps
+sentry.WithSamplingProfile(sentry.SamplingProfileHighVolume)
+
+// Critical - Minimal sampling, only critical events
+sentry.WithSamplingProfile(sentry.SamplingProfileCritical)
+```
+
+#### 7. Custom Sampling Logic
+Implement your own sampling decisions:
+
+```go
+sentrySink, _ := sentry.NewSentrySink(dsn,
+    sentry.WithCustomSampling(func(event *core.LogEvent) bool {
+        // Sample premium users at higher rate
+        if userId, ok := event.Properties["UserId"].(int); ok {
+            if userId < 1000 { // Premium users
+                return rand.Float32() < 0.5 // 50% sampling
+            }
+            return rand.Float32() < 0.01 // 1% for regular users
+        }
+        return rand.Float32() < 0.1 // 10% default
+    }),
+)
+```
+
+### Integration with mtlog Sampling
+
+Leverage mtlog's powerful per-message sampling APIs for fine-grained control:
+
+```go
+logger := mtlog.New(
+    mtlog.WithSink(sentrySink),
+)
+
+// Sample every 10th message
+logger.Sample(10).Error("Database connection failed", err)
+
+// Sample once per minute
+logger.SampleDuration(time.Minute).Warning("Cache miss for key {Key}", key)
+
+// Sample 20% of messages
+logger.SampleRate(0.2).Information("User action {Action}", action)
+
+// Sample first 5 occurrences only
+logger.SampleFirst(5).Error("Initialization error", err)
+
+// Sample with exponential backoff
+logger.SampleBackoff("api-error", 2.0).Error("API rate limit exceeded")
+
+// Conditional sampling
+logger.SampleWhen(func() bool { 
+    return time.Now().Hour() >= 9 && time.Now().Hour() <= 17 
+}, 1).Information("Business hours event")
+
+// Group sampling
+logger.SampleGroup("user-errors", 10).Error("User {UserId} validation failed", userId)
+```
+
+### Advanced Sampling Configuration
+
+Complete sampling configuration with all options:
+
+```go
+sentrySink, _ := sentry.NewSentrySink(dsn,
+    sentry.WithSamplingConfig(&sentry.SamplingConfig{
+        Strategy:          sentry.SamplingAdaptive,
+        Rate:              0.1,                    // Base rate: 10%
+        ErrorRate:         0.5,                    // Error sampling: 50%
+        FatalRate:         1.0,                    // Fatal sampling: 100%
+        AdaptiveTargetEPS: 100,                    // Target 100 events/sec
+        BurstThreshold:    1000,                   // Burst mode above 1000/sec
+        GroupSampling:     true,                   // Enable group sampling
+        GroupSampleRate:   10,                     // 10 events per group
+        GroupWindow:       time.Minute,            // Per minute window
+        CustomSampler: func(e *core.LogEvent) bool {
+            // Additional custom logic
+            return true
+        },
+    }),
+)
+```
+
+### Sampling Metrics
+
+Monitor sampling effectiveness:
+
+```go
+// Get sampling statistics
+metrics := sentrySink.Metrics()
+effectiveRate := float64(metrics.EventsSent) / 
+    float64(metrics.EventsSent + metrics.EventsDropped) * 100
+fmt.Printf("Effective sampling rate: %.1f%%\n", effectiveRate)
+```
+
+## Advanced Usage
+
+### Filtering Events
+
+Use BeforeSend to filter or modify events:
+
+```go
+sentrySink, _ := sentry.NewSentrySink(dsn,
+    sentry.WithBeforeSend(func(event *sentry.Event, hint *sentry.EventHint) *sentry.Event {
+        // Don't send events from development
+        if event.Environment == "development" {
+            return nil
+        }
+        
+        // Redact sensitive data
+        if event.Extra["password"] != nil {
+            event.Extra["password"] = "[REDACTED]"
+        }
+        
+        return event
+    }),
+)
+```
+
+### Ignoring Specific Errors
+
+```go
+sentrySink, _ := sentry.NewSentrySink(dsn,
+    sentry.WithIgnoreErrors(
+        context.Canceled,
+        io.EOF,
+    ),
+)
+```
+
+### Context Enrichment
+
+Enrich events with contextual information:
+
+```go
+import sentryctx "github.com/willibrandon/mtlog/adapters/sentry"
+
+// Set user context
+ctx := sentryctx.WithUser(ctx, sentry.User{
+    ID:       "user-123",
+    Username: "john.doe",
+    Email:    "john@example.com",
+})
+
+// Add tags
+ctx = sentryctx.WithTags(ctx, map[string]string{
+    "tenant_id": "tenant-456",
+    "region":    "us-west-2",
+})
+
+// Log with context
+logger.WithContext(ctx).Error("Operation failed")
+```
+
+## Performance Considerations
+
+The Sentry adapter is optimized for production use:
+
+1. **String Builder Pooling**: Reuses string builders to minimize allocations
+2. **Batching**: Reduces network calls by batching events
+3. **Async Processing**: Non-blocking event submission
+4. **Breadcrumb Buffering**: Efficient circular buffer for breadcrumbs
+5. **Minimal Overhead**: ~170ns for message interpolation
+

+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Enable Debug Logging
+
+```go
+import "github.com/willibrandon/mtlog/selflog"
+
+// Enable self-diagnostics
+selflog.Enable(os.Stderr)
+defer selflog.Disable()
+
+// Your Sentry configuration
+sentrySink, _ := sentry.NewSentrySink(dsn)
+```
+
+### Common Issues
+
+1. **Events not appearing in Sentry**
+   - Check DSN is correct
+   - Verify network connectivity
+   - Enable selflog for diagnostics
+   - Check sample rate isn't too low
+
+2. **High memory usage**
+   - Reduce batch size
+   - Lower max breadcrumbs
+   - Check for event flooding
+
+3. **Slow performance**
+   - Enable batching
+   - Adjust batch timeout
+   - Use sampling for high-volume events

+## Sentry Integration
+
+Send error tracking and performance monitoring data to Sentry with intelligent sampling and retry logic.
+
+### Basic Configuration
+
+```go
+import (
+    "github.com/willibrandon/mtlog"
+    "github.com/willibrandon/mtlog/adapters/sentry"
+)
+
+// Basic error tracking
+sink, _ := sentry.WithSentry("https://key@sentry.io/project")
+log := mtlog.New(mtlog.WithSink(sink))
+
+// With environment variable (recommended for production)
+// export SENTRY_DSN="https://key@sentry.io/project"
+sink, _ := sentry.WithSentry("")
+log := mtlog.New(mtlog.WithSink(sink))
+```
+
+### Advanced Configuration
+
+```go
+sink, _ := sentry.WithSentry("https://key@sentry.io/project",
+    sentry.WithEnvironment("production"),
+    sentry.WithRelease("v1.2.3"),
+    sentry.WithServerName("api-server-01"),
+    sentry.WithDebug(true),
+    sentry.WithAttachStacktrace(true),
+    sentry.WithMaxBreadcrumbs(100),
+    sentry.WithTracesSampleRate(0.2),      // 20% of transactions
+    sentry.WithProfilesSampleRate(0.1),     // 10% profiling
+)
+log := mtlog.New(mtlog.WithSink(sink))
+```
+
+### Sampling Strategies
+
+The Sentry adapter provides multiple sampling strategies to control data volume:
+
+#### Fixed Sampling
+```go
+// Sample 10% of all events
+sink, _ := sentry.NewSentrySink("https://key@sentry.io/project",
+    sentry.WithFixedSampling(0.1),
+)
+log := mtlog.New(mtlog.WithSink(sink))
+```
+
+#### Adaptive Sampling
+Automatically adjusts sampling rate based on error volume:
+
+```go
+// Adaptive sampling from 1% to 50% based on error rate
+sink, _ := sentry.NewSentrySink("https://key@sentry.io/project",
+    sentry.WithAdaptiveSampling(0.01, 0.5),
+)
+log := mtlog.New(mtlog.WithSink(sink))
+```
+
+#### Priority Sampling
+Different rates for different error levels:
+
+```go
+// High sampling for errors, low for warnings
+sink, _ := sentry.NewSentrySink("https://key@sentry.io/project",
+    sentry.WithPrioritySampling(map[core.LogEventLevel]float64{
+        core.FatalLevel:   1.0,   // 100% for fatal
+        core.ErrorLevel:   0.5,   // 50% for errors
+        core.WarningLevel: 0.1,   // 10% for warnings
+    }),
+)
+log := mtlog.New(mtlog.WithSink(sink))
+```
+
+#### Burst Sampling
+Handle traffic spikes gracefully:
+
+```go
+// Allow bursts of 100 events/sec, then sample at 10%
+sink, _ := sentry.NewSentrySink("https://key@sentry.io/project",
+    sentry.WithBurstSampling(100, 0.1),
+)
+log := mtlog.New(mtlog.WithSink(sink))
+```
+
+#### Group-Based Sampling
+Sample based on error patterns:
+
+```go
+// Different rates for different error groups
+sink, _ := sentry.NewSentrySink("https://key@sentry.io/project",
+    sentry.WithGroupSampling(func(event *core.LogEvent) string {
+        if strings.Contains(event.RenderMessage(), "database") {
+            return "database"
+        }
+        return "default"
+    }, map[string]float64{
+        "database": 0.5,  // 50% for database errors
+        "default":  0.1,  // 10% for everything else
+    }),
+)
+log := mtlog.New(mtlog.WithSink(sink))
+```
+
+#### Custom Sampling
+Implement your own logic:
+
+```go
+sink, _ := sentry.WithSentry("https://key@sentry.io/project",
+    sentry.WithCustomSampling(func(event *core.LogEvent) bool {
+        // Sample all errors from production
+        if event.Properties["Environment"] == "production" {
+            return true
+        }
+        // Sample 10% from other environments
+        return rand.Float64() < 0.1
+    }),
+)
+log := mtlog.New(mtlog.WithSink(sink))
+```
+
+### Performance Monitoring
+
+Track transactions and spans for distributed tracing:
+
+```go
+import "github.com/willibrandon/mtlog/adapters/sentry"
+
+// Start a transaction
+ctx := sentry.StartTransaction(context.Background(), "ProcessOrder", "order.process")
+defer func() {
+    if tx := sentry.GetTransaction(ctx); tx != nil {
+        tx.Finish()
+    }
+}()
+
+// Add spans for operations
+span := sentry.StartSpan(ctx, "db.query", "SELECT * FROM orders")
+// ... perform database query
+span.Finish()
+
+// Log within transaction context
+log.Information("Order processed successfully")
+```
+
+### Retry and Reliability
+
+Configure retry logic for network failures:
+
+```go
+sink, _ := sentry.WithSentry("https://key@sentry.io/project",
+    sentry.WithRetryPolicy(3, time.Second),           // 3 retries, 1s initial delay
+    sentry.WithRetryBackoff(2.0, 30*time.Second),     // 2x backoff, max 30s
+    sentry.WithRetryJitter(0.1),                      // 10% jitter
+)
+log := mtlog.New(mtlog.WithSink(sink))
+```
+
+### Stack Trace Caching
+
+Optimize performance with stack trace caching:
+
+```go
+sink, _ := sentry.WithSentry("https://key@sentry.io/project",
+    sentry.WithStackTraceCache(1000),  // Cache up to 1000 stack traces
+    sentry.WithStackTraceTTL(5*time.Minute),
+)
+log := mtlog.New(mtlog.WithSink(sink))
+```
+
+### Metrics Collection
+
+Monitor Sentry sink performance:
+
+```go
+// Assuming you have a *SentrySink instance
+sink, _ := sentry.NewSentrySink("https://key@sentry.io/project")
+metrics := sink.Metrics()
+fmt.Printf("Events sent: %d\n", metrics.EventsSent)
+fmt.Printf("Events dropped: %d\n", metrics.EventsDropped)
+fmt.Printf("Retry attempts: %d\n", metrics.RetryAttempts)
+fmt.Printf("Average latency: %v\n", metrics.AverageLatency())
+```
+
+### Event Format
+
+Events are enriched with Sentry-specific fields:
+
+```json
+{
+  "event_id": "fc6d8c0c43fc4630ad850ee518f1b9d0",
+  "timestamp": "2025-01-22T10:30:45.123Z",
+  "level": "error",
+  "message": "User 123 failed to login from 192.168.1.100",
+  "logger": "auth",
+  "platform": "go",
+  "environment": "production",
+  "release": "v1.2.3",
+  "server_name": "api-server-01",
+  "tags": {
+    "user_id": "123",
+    "ip_address": "192.168.1.100"
+  },
+  "breadcrumbs": [
+    {
+      "timestamp": "2025-01-22T10:30:40.000Z",
+      "message": "User authentication started",
+      "category": "auth"
+    }
+  ],
+  "exception": {
+    "type": "AuthenticationError",
+    "value": "Invalid credentials",
+    "stacktrace": {
+      "frames": [...]
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Best Practices
+
+1. **Use environment variables** for DSN in production
+2. **Configure sampling** appropriate to your error volume
+3. **Enable stack trace caching** for high-throughput applications
+4. **Use transactions** for tracing critical user journeys
+5. **Monitor metrics** to ensure events are being sent successfully
+6. **Configure retry policy** for network resilience
+7. **Use breadcrumbs** to provide context for errors

Subject: [PATCH 10/10] fix(sentry): seed random number generator for retry
 jitter

- Add rand.Seed() in init to ensure better randomness for retry backoff jitter
- Address Copilot review comment about predictable retry patterns
- Note: Using math/rand is acceptable here as jitter is not security-critical
