Evaluate moving to Sentry from BugSnag

Author the user story for this feature

As a Flank developer, I want to understand crashes in Flank so I can fix them.

Describe the solution

Evaluate Sentry as a BugSnag alternative.

Sentry have java lib with example available here
also, we can register Flank on Sentry for Open Source maybe we get higher quotes to make flank more awesome 😄
WDYT?

Sentry approved Flank for an open source account! I can add the team once we're ready to work on this

[adamfilipow92]

Sentry have java library

Initialization

1. Bugsnag

Bugsnag(API_KEY)

2. Sentry

Sentry.init {
        it.dsn = DNS_URL
    }

Logging errors

1. Bugsnag

bugsnag?.notify(error)

2. Sentry

 Sentry.captureException(error)

Additional data

We can set

1. release number
2. user
3. tags (here we can put additional information like os version)

Events can be filtered by user, tag, event level. This feature can be helpful when we need to find a specific issue for a specific system.

We login errors to bugsnag in 2 places

1. executeWithRetry
2. withGlobalExceptionHandling

I think we can also log: Flank version, os name, and run id to easier finding crashes for a specific user. We could display this information before Flank version. It could help with finding errors for specific cases.

WDYT?
