Sampling
Learn how to configure the volume of error and transaction events sent to Sentry.
Adding Sentry to your app gives you a great deal of very valuable information about errors and performance you wouldn't otherwise get. And lots of information is good -- as long as it's the right information, at a reasonable volume.
To send a representative sample of your errors to Sentry, set the sample_rate option in your SDK configuration to a number between 0 (0% of errors sent) and 1 (100% of errors sent). This is a static rate, which will apply equally to all errors. For example, to sample 25% of your errors:
extends SentryConfiguration
## Tip: Assign configuration script in the Project Settings.
func _configure(options: SentryOptions):
options.sample_rate = 0.25
The error sample rate defaults to 1, meaning all errors are sent to Sentry.
Changing the error sample rate requires re-deployment. In addition, setting an SDK sample rate limits visibility into the source of events. Setting a rate limit for your project (which only drops events when volume is high) may better suit your needs.
