Why is a stack trace not attached to my errors in Sentry?

Issue

Errors in Sentry are missing stack traces, making it difficult to debug the issue.

Resolution

• Check if you are logging a message event:

  • Message events, created using capture_message(), do not include a stack trace by default. They capture simple log messages without stack trace details.

• Use capture_exception() for stack traces:

  • To get stack traces, use capture_exception() instead of capture_message(). Exception events include stack traces automatically.

• Enable stack traces for message events:

  • If you need a stack trace for message events, enable the attach_stacktrace option in the Sentry SDK init. 
  • This ensures stack traces if available are attached to all message-level events.
