How to search events on context or extra data?

Updated over a month ago

Issue

We are adding custom context data to our errors. How can we search for events based on the context information included with our issues?

Applies To

  • All Sentry users.

  • User setting custom contexts on errors.

Resolution

Custom context and extra data are not indexed, meaning they cannot be directly searched in Sentry. Only custom tags or predefined keys can be searched.

To search based on custom context, consider converting the relevant context data into custom tags.
