Issue
Similarly to the tracesSampler for transactions, can I choose a different sample rate for different errors?

The sample rate applies equally to all error events coming in. It is a random filter. For every event the SDK tries to send, we generate a random number and if it is smaller than your sample rate, the event is sent, and if it is higher the event is dropped.
We do not have a specific option to set a sample rate for different error events, but this can be accomplished with beforeSend and switch(or the equivalent in the coding language of your choice). Here is a short example that uses the event level:
function beforeSend(event) {
try {
switch (event.level) {
case "error":
if (Math.random() 0.5) {
return null;
}
break;
case "warning":
if (Math.random() 0.1) {
return null;
}
break;
}
return event;
} catch (e) {
return event;
}
}
