Check-ins not working

Is there an existing issue for this?

I have checked for existing issues https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-javascript/issues
I have reviewed the documentation https://docs.sentry.io/
I am using the latest SDK release https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-javascript/releases

How do you use Sentry?

Sentry Saas (sentry.io)

Which SDK are you using?

@sentry/browser

SDK Version

7.51.2

Framework Version

Nest.js 9.3.9

Link to Sentry event

https://doubble.sentry.io/crons/sync-amplitude/?environment=production&project=4505119808946176

SDK Setup

Sentry.init({
	integrations: [
		new RewriteFrames({
			root: global.__rootdir__,
		}),
	],
	dsn: process.env.SENTRY_DSN,
	serverName:
		process.env.HOST_REGION || process.env.HOSTNAME
			? `${process.env.HOST_REGION ? `${process.env.HOST_REGION}_` : ''}${process.env.HOSTNAME || 'unknown'}`
			: undefined,
	release: process.env.APP_VERSION,
	environment: process.env.NODE_ENV, // XXX-production
	shutdownTimeout: 10000,
});

Steps to Reproduce

Basically I follow the documentation:

    this.monitorCheckInId = Sentry.captureCheckIn({
      monitorSlug: this.monitorSlug,
      status: status as any,
      ...(this.monitorCheckInId && {
        checkInId: this.monitorCheckInId,
      }),
    });

If I inspect the crons running I see:

[Nest] 1  - 05/11/2023, 9:15:30 AM     LOG [CRON] Will check in with Sentry: in_progress for slug YYYYY...
[Nest] 1  - 05/11/2023, 9:15:30 AM     LOG [CRON] Refreshing XXXX view...

Heres an example of what I did before, and how I refactored the code to use the built-in feature:

+      ...(isRunning && {
+        checkInId: this.monitorCheckInId,
+      }),
+    });
   }

Expected Result

It should report OK in the Cron status console, because they are all running as expected

Actual Result

They all report "MISSED"

It worked fine when we weren't using the Sentry SDK but just sending normal http requests.

@simplenotezy

Hey @simplenotezy, thanks for writing in! It's not good that the checkins are not sending. Could you try enabling debug: true for Sentry via:

Sentry.init({
  debug: true,
});

and checking if there are any Sentry debug logs about sending checkins?

I'm going to try to repro w/ and example nest.js app myself, but if you get the chance to provide a reproduction would be amazing for use to debug further!

Had this issue too after begin using Sentry SDK for check-ins.
With debug: true Sentry logs the following lines:

Sentry Logger [log]: Integration installed: InboundFilters
Sentry Logger [log]: Integration installed: FunctionToString
Sentry Logger [log]: Integration installed: Console
Sentry Logger [log]: Integration installed: Http
Sentry Logger [log]: Integration installed: Undici
Sentry Logger [log]: Integration installed: OnUncaughtException
Sentry Logger [log]: Integration installed: OnUnhandledRejection
Sentry Logger [log]: Integration installed: ContextLines
Sentry Logger [log]: Integration installed: LocalVariables
Sentry Logger [log]: Integration installed: Context
Sentry Logger [log]: Integration installed: Modules
Sentry Logger [log]: Integration installed: RequestData
Sentry Logger [log]: Integration installed: LinkedErrors

Hey folks, we've identified this bug - will fix with the next release. Sorry for the trouble!

Hey we've released https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-javascript/releases/tag/7.52.0 with this being fixed. Could you guys upgrade and give it a try? Thanks!

@AbhiPrasad

@AbhiPrasad Don't think it has worked. I tried locally but all jobs are still marked as 'missing'. I have pushed to production and will see how it goes over the next hours though, but don't think it's working

@AbhiPrasad

@AbhiPrasad Nope, they still don't work unfortunately

Also, for our Nest.js application, if we enable debug: true nothing is outputted.

I tried reproducing this w/ a basic nestjs example: https://github.com/AbhiPrasad/gh-8100-nestjs-crons, but was unable to.

Seems like there was a regression of us no longer emitting logs when sending checkIn's, let me fix that. Thanks for your patience!

In the meantime, could you try adding this and seeing what gets logged out?

// log out check in envelopes
  Sentry.getCurrentHub()
    .getClient()
    .on('beforeEnvelope', (env) => {
      const body = env[1];
      const item = body[0];
      if (item[0].type === 'check_in') {
        console.log(item[1]);
      }
    });

You should see something like:

{
  check_in_id: '6efd0547722d4d10ae800c4400117c92',
  monitor_slug: 'runEveryMinute',
  status: 'in_progress',
  release: undefined,
  environment: undefined
}
{
  check_in_id: '6efd0547722d4d10ae800c4400117c92',
  monitor_slug: 'runEveryMinute',
  status: 'ok',
  release: undefined,
  environment: undefined,
  duration: undefined
}

where the monitor slug/check in id are identical, and only the status changes (from in progress to ok/error).

@AbhiPrasad

@AbhiPrasad I tried running the code you provided but that won't run for some reason.

The .getClient() returns undefined.

We started using cURL as mentioned, and then switched to your SDK. Since we did not pass over environment it defauled to production (using cURL).

However, after switching to using the SDK it defaults to our init() configuration which sets environment to athena-production.

Not sure if this could be a help for you in debugging the issue.

However, after switching to using the SDK it defaults to our init() configuration which sets environment to athena-production.

This is intended behaviour, as the SDK API will use the SDK's set environment variable.

The .getClient() returns undefined.

This is really strange, since a client has to be defined for Sentry to work. I recommend you put the snippet right below where you call Sentry.init.

@AbhiPrasad

Aha @AbhiPrasad I think that was the issue. Sentry was only being initialised during the main (http) server start, not the start of CLI. Let me push to prod and see if it changes anything. The cron popped up instantly:

{
  check_in_id: 'XXX',
  monitor_slug: 'XXX',
  status: 'in_progress',
  release: undefined,
  environment: 'local-mattias'
}

Sentry was only being initialised during the main (http) server start, not the start of CLI

Great! This maybe is something we have to document better. We can add a note to #5578 while we work on a more fleshed out NestJS SDK.

@AbhiPrasad

@AbhiPrasad It's confirmed to be working! 😊

Really great news you're working on a NestJS SDK - that is sooo much needed. Let me know if you need any support in this regard / test case. We'd be happy to participate in Doubble!
