Enriching Events

Add additional context to your events to make them easier to debug.

Attachments
Learn more about how Sentry can store additional files in the same request as event attachments.
Breadcrumbs
Learn more about what Sentry uses to create a trail of events (breadcrumbs) that happened prior to an issue.
Context
Custom contexts allow you to attach arbitrary data (strings, lists, dictionaries) to an event.
Event Fingerprinting
Learn about overriding default fingerprinting in your SDK.
Event Level
The level - similar to logging levels - is generally added by default based on the integration. You can also override it within an event.
Event Processors
Learn more about how you can add your own event processors globally or to the current scope.
Scopes
SDKs will typically automatically manage the scopes for you in the framework integrations. Learn what a scope is and how you can use it to your advantage.
Tags
Tags power UI features such as filters and tag-distribution maps. Tags also help you quickly access related events and view the tag distribution for a set of events.
Transaction Name
Learn how to set or override transaction names to improve issue and trace-grouping.
Users
Learn how to configure the SDK to capture the user and gain critical pieces of information that construct a unique identity in Sentry.
