Using Spotlight's Electron App

Spotlight provides an Electron app that can be used to run the Sidecar as well as a dedicated instance of the overlay.

This is most useful for headless environments (like an API service), but is also critical for non-web client applications, such as mobile and desktop apps.

Installation

Get started by downloading the latest version of the Electron app for your platform.

macOS (Apple Silicon) macOS (Intel)

latest version: 1.6.0

Usage

In addition to loading the application, make sure you’ve enabled spotlight in the relevant Sentry SDKs (e.g. via spotlight: true):

import * as Sentry from '@sentry/browser';

Sentry.init({
  dsn: '___DSN___',
  spotlight: process.env.NODE_ENV === 'development'
  // ...other Sentry options
});
