Reactor Scram 05a2b28d9f feat(rust/gui-client): add sentry.io error reporting (#6782)
Refs #6138 

Sentry is always enabled for now. In the near future we'll make it
opt-out per device and opt-in per org (see #6138 for details)

- Replaces the `crash_handling` module
- Catches panics in GUI process, tunnel daemon, and Headless Client
- Added a couple "breadcrumbs" to play with that feature
- User ID is not set yet
- Environment is set to the API URL, e.g. `wss://api.firezone.dev`
- Reports panics from the connlib async task
- Release should be automatically pulled from the Cargo version which we
automatically set in the version Makefile

Example screenshot of sentry.io with a caught panic:

Rust development guide

Firezone uses Rust for all data plane components. This directory contains the Linux and Windows clients, and low-level networking implementations related to STUN/TURN.

We target the last stable release of Rust using rust-toolchain.toml. If you are using rustup, that is automatically handled for you. Otherwise, ensure you have the latest stable version of Rust installed.

Reading Client logs

The Client logs are written as JSONL for machine-readability.

To make them more human-friendly, pipe them through jq like this:

cd path/to/logs  # e.g. `$HOME/.cache/dev.firezone.client/data/logs` on Linux
cat *.log | jq -r '"\(.time) \(.severity) \(.message)"'

Resulting in, e.g.

2024-04-01T18:25:47.237661392Z INFO started log
2024-04-01T18:25:47.238193266Z INFO GIT_VERSION = 1.0.0-pre.11-35-gcc0d43531
2024-04-01T18:25:48.295243016Z INFO No token / actor_name on disk, starting in signed-out state
2024-04-01T18:25:48.295360641Z INFO null

Benchmarking on Linux

The recommended way for benchmarking any of the Rust components is Linux' perf utility. For example, to attach to a running application, do:

  1. Ensure the binary you are profiling is compiled with the bench profile.
  2. sudo perf perf record -g --freq 10000 --pid $(pgrep <your-binary>).
  3. Run the speed test or whatever load-inducing task you want to measure.
  4. sudo perf script > profile.perf
  5. Open profiler.firefox.com and load profile.perf

Instead of attaching to a process with --pid, you can also specify the path to executable directly. That is useful if you want to capture perf data for a test or a micro-benchmark.
