Sentry Otel Exporter Setup
Walks you through setting up the OpenTelemetry Collector with Sentry's exporter, handling the full pipeline from version checks to verification. The workflow is thorough about decision points: it asks whether you want to modify an existing config or create a new one, whether to enable auto-project creation, and how you want to run the collector (binary or Docker). One smart detail is how it handles credentials. It explicitly never adds real tokens, only placeholders, and the instructions are careful to say "I'll add placeholder values" instead of "I'll add your credentials." Useful if you're routing telemetry from multiple services to Sentry and want a guided setup that won't accidentally commit secrets or skip compatibility checks.
