Data sanitization for uncaught exception telemetry?

[Joouis]

Hi there,

We're building our extension with vscode-extension-telemetry package which is super easy to use, great work!

Just checking the telemetry data on App Insights after few weeks internal testing and found something abnormal. For the caught errors, we will save the error message to "customDimensions.errorMessage" field by usage event, and it's good to see that the content of this field would be sanitized like No module named 'xxx'<REDACTED: user-file-path> for the user local path. However, for the uncaught exception, the package will auto log the event name as "unhandlederror", and 3 fields in "customDimensions" may contain user local path shown as the screenshot below.

So the questions are:

• Is this complaint by our Privacy Statement? Or should we do data sanitization also like usage events?
• Which package/service of the whole process redacted sensitive information in usage event for us?

This redaction and cleaning is all done by VS Code itself through its telemetry API.

I've created https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/pull/191331 to also run it on the error data
