How to filter sending transactions to Sentry on request IP address?

[zedtux]

There is a probe which is producing a lot of requests to my app, which produce a lot of transaction pushed to Sentry.

I found from the documentation the before_send_transaction but I can't figure out where to find the request IP address from the event parameter.

So, could you please help me in order to access the Rails request IP address so that I can filter the transactions pushed to Sentry?

@zedtux we filter the IP address headers here so they won't be present in the event.request.headers object if send_default_pii = false.

You can however use sampling_context[:env] in your traces_sampler as outlined here to not sample those transactions.

This issue has gone three weeks without activity. In another week, I will close it.

But! If you comment or otherwise update it, I will reset the clock, and if you label it Status: Backlog or Status: In Progress, I will leave it alone ... forever!
