Issue
Users are receiving 200 OK responses when sending error events to Sentry, but the errors are not visible in the Sentry web UI. Some users may also see an event ID in the SDK but cannot find the event in Sentry.
Resolution
-
Understand 200 OK responses or missing event IDs:
- A 200 OK response only confirms that Sentry received the event. It does not mean the event will appear in the UI.
- If you see an event ID in the SDK it also does not mean the event will appear in the UI.
- Events may be filtered out due to inbound filters, spike protection, or other reason on the Sentry server.
-
Check inbound filters (Go to a Project> Project Settings> Inbound Filters):
- Ensure inbound filters are not excluding events. This includes filters for errors caused by browser extensions or localhost.
- Disable any filters and wait for cache updates, which may cause a delay in changes being applied.
- Check the Stats page (Go to Project > Stats):
This page shows accepted vs. dropped events and can help determine if your events are being filtered.
