Why can't I use an organisation or project slug?

Issue

I want to know why a new organization or project slug doesn’t match the name I chose, or why Sentry appends characters to it.

Applies To

  • All SaaS Customers

Symptoms

  • A new organization or project slug has a suffix like -gg

Resolution

Slugs must be unique. Project slugs must be unique within an organization, while organization slugs must be unique across Sentry, including across data storage regions.

If a slug is already taken, Sentry appends a dash and two random letters, such as javascript-gg.

  • Project: Rename or delete the existing project in your org that owns the slug, then create or rename the project again.

  • Organization: If you can access the org that owns the slug, rename or delete that org. Sentry won’t free a slug for you, and support can’t tell you who owns it.

To change an org slug you control, see Can I update my Sentry Organization slug?.

Changing a project slug does not require a new DSN - see Do I need to change my DSN if I change the project slug?
