MWAA - Sentry Integration

Question

Hey,

We had our Airflow system setup with Sentry monitoring before migrating to MWAA, we would like to keep using Sentry for critical errors along with Cloudwatch for usual logs. 
We added the Sentry requirement to requirements.txt and also added the configurations as in the airflow documentation:
sentry.sentry_on=True
sentry.sentry_dsn=

When we update our system with these configurations ( we were able to get some alerts from MWAA in Sentry ), but after a while we stop getting them and we get a update failed message ' Update failed' (INCORRECT_CONFIGURATION).

Does anyone have a hint on what's happening? Why we get alerts for a while and then stop getting them and update fails?
This should be a quick and simple integration.

Best Regards

Accepted Answer

We confirm Sentry works in MWAA v2.2.2, these are the steps to get it working:

First add Sentry to your requirements.txt file:
```
apache-airflow[sentry]==2.2.2
```
 Then set in your MWAA Configuration options:

```
sentry.sentry_on  True
sentry.sentry_dsn  
```

Answer

MWAA [does not currently install requirements on the web server](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/mwaa/latest/userguide/working-dags-dependencies.html#working-dags-dependencies-overview) which may be causing the creation failure when the web server tries to communicate with Sentry.
