Early summer 2025 I was exploring source of Sentry unreal plugin and I started adding custom tags to my self-hosted instance where I'm experimenting and prototyping different options. I am continuing that adventure and am at the point of creating custom plugin. This will make updates between official Sentry plugin and own easier and makes it easier for anybody else to pick it up as well.
Custom tags has been confirmed working, but the plugin creation including that source code will be my first Plugin journey from ground up in UE world. I'll be on in coming weekends and see how far I get. Until you don't see release version in the repository, the plugin is not functional. Stay tuned 🤓 and feel free to reach out in Discord - LeaDevelop. I'm probably listening to music and reading up Plugins docs at the moment.

Current work in progress:
This plugin extends and overrides the default Sentry plugin configuration for Unreal Engine projects, providing enhanced crash reporting and analytics capabilities with custom LeaDevelop features.
- Enhanced Tag Promotion: Automatically promotes changelist, engine version, and level name information to Sentry tags
- Advanced Level Name Formatting: Cleans up PIE prefixes and provides user-friendly level names
- World Context Tracking: Tracks whether you're in Editor, PIE, or Game mode
- Automatic Breadcrumb Tracking: Enhanced breadcrumbs for map loading events
- Configurable Overrides: Easy-to-configure settings that override Sentry defaults
- Place the plugin folder in your project's
Pluginsdirectory - Regenerate project files
- Build your project
- Enable the plugin in your project's
.uprojectfile or through the Plugin Manager

The plugin automatically formats level names by:
- Removing PIE prefixes (UEDPIE_0_, UEDPIE_1_, etc.)
- Stripping common path prefixes (/Game/, /Engine/)
- Removing file extensions and suffixes
- Applying custom name mappings
Automatically sets tags for:
LevelName: Clean, formatted level nameWorldContext: Editor/PIE/Game/Loading/Failed
Enhanced breadcrumb tracking for:
- PreLoadMap events with formatted names
- PostLoadMapWithWorld events with context
- World initialization with change detection
- Sentry plugin (automatically loaded)
- Core Unreal Engine modules (Core, CoreUObject, Engine)
- The plugin automatically applies overrides on startup
- It respects the original Sentry plugin's configuration while enhancing it
- All overrides are applied after the Sentry plugin initializes
- Level name formatting preserves your custom mappings and prefixes
- Ensure the Sentry plugin is enabled before this plugin loads
- Check logs for "LeaDevelopSentry" entries to verify initialization
- Verify that your DSN is properly configured in the base Sentry plugin settings
The plugin is designed to be easily extensible for additional Sentry customizations specific to project needs.
