Control video length or specific timing on Session Replay #2416

Open kimwest00 opened 4 days ago

kimwest00 commented 4 days ago

Problem Statement

Can I control recording session length or record timing? When testing Session Replay, I enable 'onErrorSampleRate' to test session playback, it is recorded continuously when the user is in the foreground state.

So I wonder if there any plan for developing function of control session replay recording max length or timing (e.g. recording session only specific error)

Solution Brainstorm

No response

Are you willing to submit a PR?

None

Additionally, Is it intentional function that recording whole session that users in foregorund, even though activate only onErrorSampleRate?

Currently, these controls are not yet available. We'll update the issue if anything changes in this regard.

What do you mean? Do you see whole session replays in Sentry while you have session replay disabled?

No, I wonder that are there any plans to enhance the Session Replay feature with onErrorSampleRate to record only a brief segment before and after an error occurs, rather than capturing the entire video while the user is in the foreground state.

I think this approach would help in more efficiently understanding user behavior patterns surrounding errors. Additionally, I concern that longer video recording times might lead to performance issues. So Can I ask that how is this being addressed?

In order to be able to provide replay prior to an error, the only way is to actually record all the time and use the recording when an error occurs. Without recording all the time, we couldn't have any recording prior to an error (as we can't know when an error will occur).

Thank you for reply:) Then does onErrorSampleRate work the same way as sessionSampleRate? I understand that onErrorSampleRate only records when an error occurs, which is different from sessionSampleRate

From the recording point of view, yes, it works the same. However, the replay is only sent to Sentry when an error occurs.
