The Session Replay menu is not visible.

[hyunkj42]

Hello.
I upgraded to sentry 23.3.1. (18.0.0)
The relay, snuba-subscription-consumer-events, and snuba-subscription-consumer-transactions pods have errors, but the web is normally started.
However, the expected Session Replay menu is not visible.

expected Session Replay menu ㅜ

Can you tell me why?

[hiloyt]

Because this is not a default option.

If you would like to see this menu, you need to add:

"organizations:session-replay-ui"

to the templates/configmap-sentry.yaml in the SENTRY_FEATURES.update( section.

@hiloyt
oh thank you :)
After adding the settings you mentioned, the menu will appear.
thank you.

@hiloyt
But why is that value missing from configmap-sentry.yaml in the helm chart provided here?

I made the session replay menu appear, but does it work normally???
In fact, I haven't tested it yet because I don't know how to test it. ;;

As I mentioned before, this option is set to false by default in the server.py for Sentry self-hosted. So I think the authors of this chart decide to do this as well (disabled by default). You still can find Replays in the projects, you don't need this sidebar link.

In my company, we are using this feature and works great. Of course, you need also to edit your apps to support this feature, not only enable it for the Sentry instance.

@hiloyt I'm not sure this is true anymore.

https://github.com/getsentry/self-hosted/blob/master/sentry/sentry.conf.example.py#L253

https://github.com/sentry-kubernetes/charts/blob/develop/sentry/templates/configmap-sentry.yaml#L357

This repo doesn't seem to handle features the same way that self hosted does. This seems to overwrite the whole features array on line 357, whereas the self hosted only updates specific values. If you run a fresh install of the self-hosted version you'll have session replay and the menu using their features array, but not so with the helm version.

[hiloyt]

@bcarroll22 They handling this exactly in the same way, but I didn't check server.py and they have this enabled from the default right now:

https://github.com/getsentry/sentry/blob/master/src/sentry/conf/server.py#L1539C17-L1539C17
getsentry/self-hosted#2010

So they removed this flag because is not anymore needed.

So something different is odd. Maybe the init process.

[bcarroll22]

Is there a reason you take the whole features array from the main Sentry repo instead of select values in the array like they do in the self-hosted repo? See here (note: link to self-hosted, not sentry):

https://github.com/getsentry/self-hosted/blob/master/sentry/sentry.conf.example.py#L253

I would think the approach the chart config takes currently would make it much harder to maintain, right?

FYI,
it's work!

values.yaml

config:
  sentryConfPy: |
    # No Python Extension Config Given
    SENTRY_FEATURES["organizations:session-replay-ui"] = True

@ohjongsung
Hello.
Oh, there is such a way.
I solved it by adding it directly to the configmap-sentry.yaml config. ^^;

                "organizations:session-replay",
                "organizations:session-replay-ui",

thanks for the comment. :)
