Why is my breadcrumb data being cut off in Sentry?

Issue

Breadcrumb data is being truncated when viewed in the Sentry UI.

Resolution

• Understand the payload size limit:

  • Sentry has a maximum payload size, and breadcrumb data exceeding this limit is truncated.
  • The hard limit is 8192 characters, even if you adjust the max_value_length option.

• Increase the max_value_length:

  • In the Sentry SDK configuration, set max_value_length to the maximum allowed value to reduce truncation.
  • Refer to the Sentry SDK documentation for guidance on increasing this limit.

• Consider alternate storage methods:

  • If the data exceeds the limit, consider attaching the data as part of the event context or as an additional data field rather than a breadcrumb.
