Data Collected for Deno

See what data is collected by the Sentry JavaScript SDK.

Sentry takes data privacy very seriously and has default settings in place that prioritize data safety, especially when it comes to personally identifiable information (PII) data. When you add the Sentry SDK to your application, you allow it to collect data and send it to Sentry during the runtime and build time of your application.

The category types and amount of data collected vary, depending on the integrations you've enabled in the Sentry SDK. This page lists data categories that the Sentry JavaScript SDK collects.

Options to control data collection

You can control many of the categories listed here with the dataCollection option, which lets you opt in or out of each data category individually.

By default, the SDK collects all dataCollection categories and scrubs values whose keys match the built-in sensitive denylist. To collect less, opt out of a category or restrict it.

Regardless of these options, you can always scrub any data before it's sent to Sentry. See Scrubbing Sensitive Data for details.

By default, the SDK sends HTTP request and response headers. It always keeps the header names and replaces the values of sensitive headers (names that match terms such as auth, token, or password) with [Filtered].

Which headers are sent depends on the environment:

  • In the browser, the SDK sends the request headers it gathers itself (Referer and User-Agent). The httpClient integration, which is not enabled by default, adds the request and response headers of failed requests.
  • On the server, the headers of incoming requests are attached to error events and server spans. On some runtimes (such as Bun and Deno), the response headers of incoming requests are attached to server spans as well.
  • The headers of outgoing requests are not collected by default.

Use the dataCollection.httpHeaders option to control header collection. Set dataCollection: { httpHeaders: false } to disable it, or use { allow: [...] } or { deny: [...] } to restrict which header values are sent. To control each direction separately, use the { request: ..., response: ... } form, for example { request: true, response: false }.

By default, cookie collection is enabled. On the server, the cookies of incoming requests are sent with error events and server spans. In the browser, the SDK doesn't send cookies unless you enable the httpClient integration, which captures the cookies of failed requests. The SDK replaces the values of sensitive cookies (like token or key) with [Filtered].

To disable cookie collection, set dataCollection: { cookies: false }. You can also restrict which cookie values are sent using { allow: [...] } or { deny: [...] }.

The Sentry SDK doesn't fill the user identity fields user.id, user.email, and user.username automatically. Data that you set with Sentry.setUser() is always sent to Sentry. Some integrations (e.g. User Feedback) may also send data like the user ID, username, and email address when explicitly configured.

The dataCollection.userInfo option controls the identity data the SDK infers on its own, such as the user's IP address (see the next section). It doesn't affect data set with Sentry.setUser().

By default, the SDK sends the user's IP address. To disable it, set dataCollection: { userInfo: false }.

In some integrations such as handleRequest in Astro, the trackClientIp option also controls this. It defaults to the dataCollection.userInfo setting.

If sending the IP address is enabled we will try to infer the IP address or use the IP address provided by ip_address in Sentry.setUser(). If you set ip_address: null, the IP address won't be inferred.

Even when this is disabled, IP addresses can still reach Sentry through collected HTTP headers, cookies, or query parameters (for example, the X-Forwarded-For header). Add these terms to the partially-matched deny lists for those categories so their values are filtered:

Copied
Sentry.init({
  dsn: "___PUBLIC_DSN___",
  dataCollection: {
    httpHeaders: { deny: ["forwarded", "-ip", "remote-", "via", "-user"] },
    cookies: { deny: ["forwarded", "-ip", "remote-", "via", "-user"] },
    urlQueryParams: { deny: ["forwarded", "-ip", "remote-", "via", "-user"] },
  },
});

The request URL of outgoing and incoming HTTP requests is always sent to Sentry: the scheme, host, and path can't be turned off. Depending on your application, the path could contain PII data. For example, a URL like /users/1234/details, where 1234 is a user id (which may be considered PII).

The query string that's part of the URL is controlled by the dataCollection.urlQueryParams setting described in the next section.

By default, the full request query string of outgoing and incoming HTTP requests is sent to Sentry. Depending on your application, this could contain PII data. For example, a query string like ?user_id=1234, where 1234 is a user id (which may be considered PII).

Use the dataCollection.urlQueryParams option to control this. Set it to false to disable collection entirely, or use { allow: [...] } / { deny: [...] } to filter which values are sent. Values whose keys match the built-in sensitive denylist (terms like auth, token, password, and secret) are scrubbed automatically. The same rules apply to the query string inside the request URL: values are filtered in place, and false removes the query string from the URL entirely.

Sentry also has some additional server-side data scrubbing in place to remove sensitive data from the query string.

By default, the SDK collects the bodies of incoming requests on the server side. This also covers data taken from the body, like tRPC input and Remix action form data.

Use the dataCollection.httpBodies option to control this. It takes a list of body types to collect: "incomingRequest", "outgoingRequest", "incomingResponse", and "outgoingResponse". All types are included by default, but the SDK currently only captures "incomingRequest" bodies and, for Next.js server actions, "outgoingResponse" bodies. Set the option to [] to disable body collection:

Copied
Sentry.init({
  dsn: "___PUBLIC_DSN___",
  dataCollection: {
    httpBodies: [],
  },
});

The body size, taken from the content-length header, is always sent, even when body collection is disabled.

On the server-side, the RequestData Integration captures incoming request data including cookies, headers, query strings, request body (data), URL, and user information. The IP address is included when dataCollection.userInfo is enabled.

By default, the SDK doesn't capture response bodies, with one exception: the results of Next.js server actions are collected when dataCollection.httpBodies includes "outgoingResponse", which is the default. To disable this, set dataCollection: { httpBodies: [] } or provide a subset that excludes "outgoingResponse".

The SDK may still send the response body size, taken from the content-length header.

By default, SDKs set up by the Sentry CLI Wizard (@sentry/wizard) will enable uploading source maps to Sentry.

To disable source map upload, see the Source Maps documentation.

The Sentry SDK does not send local variables in the error stack trace in client-side JavaScript SDKs.

By default, the Sentry SDK sends information about the device and runtime to Sentry.

In browser environments, this information is obtained by the User Agent string. The User Agent string contains information about the browser, operating system, and device type.

In server-side environments, the Sentry SDK uses the os module to get information about the operating system and architecture.

By default, the Context Lines Integration is enabled. This integration sends the surrounding lines of code for each frame in the stack trace. This can include PII data if the code contains PII information.

By default, tRPC input is collected because httpBodies includes "incomingRequest" by default. To disable it, set dataCollection: { httpBodies: [] } or use a list that excludes "incomingRequest".

If you exclude "incomingRequest", tRPC input is not collected. You can still opt in per-middleware by setting attachRpcInput: true in the Sentry.trpcMiddleware() options, regardless of the global dataCollection setting.

When you use a GraphQL integration, the Sentry SDK sends the operation name and the operation type to Sentry.

By default, the SDK also sends the GraphQL document (the query or mutation source text). Literal values inside the document are redacted, and the values of GraphQL variables are not collected. Use the dataCollection.graphQL option to turn off the document:

Copied
Sentry.init({
  dsn: "___PUBLIC_DSN___",
  dataCollection: {
    graphQL: {
      document: false,
    },
  },
});
