I want to group exception with Sentry, the exception comes from different servers, but I want all exception by type together, for example, all NPE be grouped. I know you can extend EventBuilderHelper and this is how sentry group things, but I don’t know how to get the exception type.
package com.test;
import io.sentry.SentryClient;
import io.sentry.event.EventBuilder;
import io.sentry.event.helper.ContextBuilderHelper;
public class FingerprintEventBuilderHelper extends ContextBuilderHelper {
private static final String EXCEPTION_TYPE = "exception_type";
public FingerprintEventBuilderHelper(SentryClient sentryClient) {
super(sentryClient);
}
@Override
public void helpBuildingEvent(EventBuilder eventBuilder) {
super.helpBuildingEvent(eventBuilder);
//Get the exception type
String exceptionType =
if (exceptionType != null) {
eventBuilder.withTag(EXCEPTION_TYPE, exceptionType);
}
}
}
the json send to the server has some information about the exception, but I dont know hoy to get it
