# Application monitoring On debug Sentry is not initialized. On release Sentry is initialized in `AppInitializer#initialize` function. ### Initialization The initialize function is based on `SENTRY_DSN` which is created via BuildKonfig. The secret `DSN` is retrived from the `local.properties` file in `build.gradle`. Learn more about secrets and BuildKonfig [here](/tech-things/secrets-and-build-config.md). All you need to do is write the `DSN` of your app in `local.properties` file. You can get this on your Sentry dashboard when you create your project: ``` # Sentry sentry_dsn= ``` ### Error logging On release we use SentryAntilog instead of DebugAntilog and this enables the project to `captureException` when log level is `ERROR`. You can find this code on `NapierLogger.kt` file. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
