Automate Sentry Integration Tasks from PowerShell

The CData API Driver for ADO.NET is a standard ADO.NET Provider that make it easy to accomplish data cleansing, normalization, backup, and other integration tasks by enabling real-time access to Sentry.

ADO.NET Provider

The ADO.NET Provider provides a SQL interface for Sentry; this tutorial shows how to use the Provider to retrieve Sentry data.

Once you have acquired the necessary connection properties, accessing Sentry data in PowerShell can be enabled in three steps.

Using API Key Authentication

Sentry uses token-based authentication. To obtain an Auth Token:

1. Log in to your Sentry account at https://sentry.io
2. Navigate to Settings > Auth Tokens
3. Click "Create New Token"
4. Select the required scopes and click "Create Token"
5. Copy the generated token (it will only be shown once)

After obtaining your Auth Token, set the following connection properties:

• AuthScheme: Set this to APIKey.

Set the following in the ProfileSettings connection property:

• APIKey: Set this to your Sentry Auth Token.
• OrganizationId: Set this to your Sentry organization slug or ID.

Example Connection String

Profile=C:\profiles\Sentry.apip;AuthScheme=APIKey;ProfileSettings="APIKey=your_auth_token;OrganizationId=your_org_slug";

Connecting to Sentry

Once the authentication is configured, you can connect to Sentry and query data from any of the available tables such as Organizations, Projects, Issues, and Events.

1. Load the provider's assembly:

   [Reflection.Assembly]::LoadFile("C:\Program Files\CData\CData API Driver for ADO.NET\lib\System.Data.CData.API.dll")
    

2. Connect to Sentry:

    
   $conn= New-Object System.Data.CData.API.APIConnection("Profile=C:\profiles\Sentry.apip;AuthScheme=APIKey;ProfileSettings="APIKey=your_auth_token;OrganizationId=your_org_slug";")
   $conn.Open()
   

3. Instantiate the APIDataAdapter, execute an SQL query, and output the results:

   $sql="SELECT , from UserOrganizations"
   
   $da= New-Object System.Data.CData.API.APIDataAdapter($sql, $conn)
   $dt= New-Object System.Data.DataTable
   $da.Fill($dt)
   
   $dt.Rows | foreach {
   	Write-Host $_. $_.
   }
