How to see historical session data

Issue

My project has exceeded its error allocation, and I want to know whether I can still view historical session data and where to find it.

Applies To

  • All SaaS Customers

  • Releases

  • Release Health

Resolution

Yes, Sentry still accepts and shows Release Health session data when your project is out of reserved errors.

Session data is separate from error events. Error events can be dropped when you hit error quota. Sessions continue as long as your SDK sends them. Sentry does not bill Release Health sessions as errors. For background, see Release Health and Why am I receiving crash free rate issues when I'm out of reserved errors?.

These sessions are not Session Replay recordings. They are Release Health sessions used for crash-free rates and adoption.

View session data on Releases:

  1. Open Releases.

  2. Open the release you want to inspect.

  3. On Release Details, set the time range you care about.

  4. In the metrics table under the graph, choose the session metrics you need, such as:

    • Crash Free Session Rate

    • Session Count

    • Healthy, Abnormal, Errored, Unhandled, or Crashed session rates

    • Crash Free User Rate

The graph compares that release to the average of all releases for percentage-based metrics. See Release Details.

View session data on Dashboards:

  1. Open Dashboards.

  2. Add or edit a widget that uses session / Release Health data, such as Session Health or crash rates for releases.

  3. Optionally filter the widget by release:your-release-version.
