Event Vs Error ?

[Dhan3777]

Hi,
I have disabled most of integration in my config though this. Because I needed only to report this manual emmition through this Sentry.captureMessage('Socket closed')

  maxBreadcrumbs: 20,
  integrations: function(integrations) {
    let integrationArr = ["InboundFilters","Breadcrumbs","HttpContext"]    
    return integrations.filter(function(integration) {
      let idx = integrationArr.findIndex(ele=>ele == integration.name)
      return idx != -1
    });
  },
  beforeBreadcrumb(breadcrumb, hint) {
    return breadcrumb.category === "error" || breadcrumb.category === "sentry.event" || breadcrumb.category == 'navigation' ? breadcrumb : null;
  },

Now the thing I am confused about is in my Issues page there is 14K event (only record is what I emitted manually, nothing else.) But when I go in dashboard it shows 4k Error. What is difference between them ?. Shouldn't both numbers be same ? What are these remaining 10K event ?

PS: can setting tracesSampleRate to 0 solve this ?

Hi, Event is a supertype. It currently encompasses Errors, Transactions (for performance monitoring), Profiles, and Session Replays. Each of these has their own sample rate and you can use the sample rate options to opt out of sending them.

@lforst can you please give me an example regarding this?

hi @Dhan3777

The docs for 3 examples where you can independently set sample rates for different event types that correlate to different parts of the Sentry product

Sampling for error events
vs
Sampling for performance events
vs
Sampling for Session Replays
