Research direction

Start with the listed .NET documentation pages and migration include files on the dotnet-v7 branch; compare their existing UseSentry references and .NET integration lists with the linked Generic Host guide. Add links or entries where specified, then review the pages to confirm the guide is discoverable from each relevant context.

Description

.NET Docs Next Major State: Needs Discussion

getsentry/sentry-docs#20311 added the Generic Host guide (/platforms/dotnet/guides/extensions-hosting/) to the dotnet-v7 docs branch, for #5707. The Microsoft.Extensions.Logging guide links to it. The other pages that tell generic host apps to call UseSentry don't.

Where to add links

All paths are on dotnet-v7.

  • Azure Functions guide (docs/platforms/dotnet/guides/azure-functions-worker/index.mdx): it uses UseSentry from Sentry.Extensions.Hosting, but only links the package on NuGet.
  • Logs setup (platform-includes/logs/setup/dotnet.mdx): the paragraph on apps on the .NET Generic Host.
  • Logs integrations list (platform-includes/logs/integrations/dotnet.mdx): add a Generic Host entry for /platforms/dotnet/guides/extensions-hosting/logs/.
  • Product getting-started pages (docs/product/logs/getting-started/index.mdx and docs/product/metrics/getting-started/index.mdx): the .NET lists have ASP.NET Core, MAUI and Microsoft.Extensions.Logging, but not Generic Host.
  • Migration guide: the "Generic Host Apps Call UseSentry" entry (includes/migration/dotnet-v7/generic-host-apps-call-usesentry.mdx) and the overview (includes/dotnet-v7-migration-overview.mdx). logging-integrations-no-longer-initialize-sentry.mdx and update-all-sentry-packages-together.mdx also name the package.
  • Environment option (docs/platforms/dotnet/common/configuration/options.mdx), optional: it mentions Generic Host apps.

The .NET docs aren't versioned, so this merges into dotnet-v7 and ships with 7.0.0.
