Projects

Projects are how you organize your applications in Rustrak. Each project has its own DSN, issues, and events.

Creating a project

1. Log in to the dashboard
2. Click New Project
3. Enter a name (e.g., “my-app”)
4. Click Create

Your project gets:

• A unique DSN for SDK configuration
• A slug based on the name (e.g., “my-app”)
• An auto-assigned ID

The DSN

The DSN (Data Source Name) is what you give to Sentry SDKs:

http://<sentry_key>@<host>:<port>/<project_id>

Example:

http://a1b2c3d4-e5f6-7890-abcd-ef1234567890@localhost:8080/1

Copy it from project settings and use it in your app:

Sentry.init({
  dsn: 'YOUR_DSN_HERE',
});

Project slug

The slug appears in issue IDs:

• Project “My App” → slug my-app
• Issue short ID: MY-APP-1, MY-APP-42

Deleting a project

Warning: This permanently deletes all issues and events.

1. Open project settings
2. Click Delete Project
3. Confirm

Best practices

Naming

Use clear names:

• frontend-web
• api-server
• mobile-ios

Environment separation

Option 1: Separate projects (for large teams)

• myapp-production
• myapp-staging

Option 2: Tags (simpler)

Sentry.init({
  dsn: 'YOUR_DSN',
  environment: process.env.NODE_ENV,
});

Filter by environment in the dashboard.

When to create separate projects

Create separate projects when:

• Different applications (web, mobile, API)
• Different teams own different codebases
• Compliance requires data separation

Use one project when:

• Same codebase, different environments
• Small team managing everything
