Don't capture all plugin errors

[marcwieland95]

Hey there,

first of all. The plugin works great. No issues so far.

I'm wondering if there is a possibility to remove exceptions of plugins (code I don't control by myself). We have the problem that our logs are just too much and most of them are irrelevant since we can't change the plugins.

Thanks for your input Cheers Marc

Hi Marc,

You can but there is no "simple option" but we have plenty of hooks in the Sentry SDK to use.

I've written about it here: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/enable-sentry-for-specific-plugin/#post-14155498.

Let me know if that helps or if you get stuck somewhere!

Amazing. That helped a lot.

For documentation purpose

I created this little snippet to check if there are some parts within my code in the stack trace. Attention: there's a PHP 8.x function used in this snippet.

add_filter('wp_sentry_options', function onlyTrackOwnCode(\Sentry\Options $options) {
    $options->setBeforeSendCallback(function (\Sentry\Event $event) {
        $stacktrace = $event->getExceptions()[0]->getStacktrace();
        $ourCode = false; // we don't own the code, so don't track it

        foreach ($stacktrace->getFrames() as $frame) {
            if(
                str_contains($frame->getFile(), 'themes/THEME_NAME') ||
                str_contains($frame->getFile(), 'plugins/PLUGIN_NAME')
            ) {
                $ourCode = true; // send event to Sentry
            }
        }

        return $ourCode ? $event : null;

    });
});

As mentioned in the linked ticket, it's important to run this filter at a very early stage.

Awesome, thanks for sharing!

Would you mind if I add a (slightly modified) version of this to the README for others looking for a solution?

[marcwieland95]

Sure. Go for it. It's not the nicest code ever and not greatly tested. But should work

I've made it a little more robust and also added a fallback for older PHP versions.

Take a look: https://github.com/stayallive/wp-sentry#capturing-errors-only-from-certain-theme-andor-plugin.

Thanks again for sharing!
