Issue
I want to understand what Short IDs are and how they are generated in Sentry.
Resolution
A Short ID is a unique identifier associated with each issue in Sentry. It follows the format of PROJECT-NAME-XXXX, where:
PROJECT-NAMEis the name of your project in Sentry.XXXXis a unique string of alphanumeric characters assigned by Sentry.
Key points to know about short IDs:
Not customizable: The random alphanumeric part of the Short ID cannot be customized.
Project name prefix: You can change the
PROJECT-NAMEportion of the Short ID by renaming your project in Sentry.Unique within the organization: Each Short ID is unique within your Sentry organization, helping easily identify issues.
