Best way to allow strings in error object in reports #38

by default, strings included in an error object are considered to be PII-unsafe, and are stripped out when building a Sentry report.

What would be the best/easiest way to allow error object strings not to be stripped out from Sentry reports? When I use this package to wrap errors from other packages that don't include stack traces, I'd like to have the error strings be included in Sentry reports.

The question you'd need to ask yourself is, how do you know for sure that these "other packages" don't include PII-unsafe information?

we now support the redact features inside error objects.
