Issue
Nested objects in my event context show as [Object] or [Array] instead of the full data. I attached this data with setContext, extra, or similar SDK APIs.

Resolution
Sentry SDKs normalize contextual data to a fixed depth. Beyond that depth, the SDK stops walking the tree and replaces deeper values with their type, such as [Object] or [Array]. The default normalizeDepth is 3.
To show deeper nesting, raise normalizeDepth in Sentry.init:
Sentry.init({
dsn: "https://[email protected]/0",
normalizeDepth: 5,
});
If many keys are missing at the same level, also check normalizeMaxBreadth. That option limits how many properties or array entries the SDK keeps in each object or array during normalization (default 1000).
Keep normalizeDepth only as high as you need. Deep or large context payloads can push the event toward size limits and get trimmed or rejected.
See normalizeDepth and normalizeMaxBreadth in the configuration options, and context enrichment for how context data is attached.
