Debug Information Files
Debug information files allow Sentry to extract stack traces and provide more information about crash reports for most compiled platforms. Information stored in debug files includes original function names, paths to source files and line numbers, source code context, or the placement of variables in memory. Sentry can use some of this information and display it on the issue details page.
Each major platform uses different debug information files. We currently support the following formats:
- dSYM files for iOS, iPadOS, tvOS, watchOS, macOS, and visionOS
- ELF symbols for Linux and Android (NDK)
- PDB files for Windows and .NET
- Breakpad symbols for all platforms
- WASM files for WebAssembly
- ProGuard mappings for Java and Android
Source maps, while also being debug information files, are handled differently in Sentry. For more information see Source Maps in sentry-cli.
Sentry requires access to debug information files of your application as well as system libraries to provide fully symbolicated crash reports. You can either upload your files to Sentry or put them on a compatible Symbol Server to be downloaded by Sentry when needed.
Managing Debug Information Files
After they have been uploaded, debug information files can be viewed and managed from the Debug Files section in the associated
project Represents your service in Sentry and allows you to scope events to a distinct application.
‘s settings page. That page lists all uploaded debug files, and also allows you to configure symbol servers for automatic downloads.
From the Project Details page, click into settings, then click on Debug Files in the page navigation.
ProGuard files are listed separately, in the ProGuard section of the project settings page.
Debug Files have a retention period of 90 days, using a time to idle expiration mechanism. This means that uploaded debug files are retained for as long as they are actively being used for event processing. Once a debug file has not been used to process incoming events for at least 90 days, it will automatically expire and be eligible for deletion.

Hi, I noticed that, on Linux, when you add the «Qt Debug Information Files» package to your installation, the lib directory is populated with many libQt5xxx.so.x.y.z.debug files. I am assuming they are just shared libraries built in debug mode. Am I right? Are any other files installed by that package? Thanks

Am I right?
No, in those files there are the debug informations for the library as ‘Qt Debug Information Files’ properly says.

Qt Debug Information Files, what are they and why do they take so much space?
Hello everyone, I’m a newbie trying to install Qt on my machine. I’ve already installed Qt Creator and now I want to install the Qt libraries. The problem is, the newest version of Qt requires about 50GiB of disk space, most of it (40GiB) taken by «Qt Debug Information Files». The space that they take is dependent on which compilers I select (they only take about 30GiB with the newest versions of MSVC and MinGW). That would take a long time to download, so I want to minimise it as much as possible.
Can someone explain specifically what these files are used for, and whether I need to install them? Are they necessary for debugging? And if I have to download them, which compiler toolchain should I choose, MinGW or MSVC?
EDIT: I was a little bit too worried about the download size, Qt 5.15.0 with MSVC 64-bit is taking about 10GiB of space but it only needed to download 2-3GiB in the end.
