captureException drops error properties

[ghost]

Hi. Whenever I have custom props on error objects, I can't find them on Sentry.

Imagine the following code (node, latest SDK):

const error = new Error('Some error');
error.someProp = "some value";
captureException(error);

On Sentry, someProp is nowhere to be found.

After a quick look at the source code it seems to be caused by this function: https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-javascript/blob/master/packages/node/src/eventbuilder.ts#L31

Am I doing something wrong? Or is this intended? If yes, why?
Is there anyway for Sentry to send the full error object to display it?

Hi, we're not including arbitrary data on the error in events for PII reasons. What you might be looking for is the ExtraErrorData integration: https://docs.sentry.io/platforms/javascript/configuration/integrations/plugin/#extraerrordata

Oh I see, this makes sense. It may be worth it to mention it in the captureException SDK documentation because I couldn't find any mention of this. Thanks!
