There is no option to ignore specific symfony routes by id

[gabplch]

Problem Statement

For the only way according docs to remove profiling by some of the routes is explicitly writing it e.g.:

sentry:
  options:
    ignore_transactions:
      - 'GET /healthz'
...

But it'll be cool to put only route it to make it more reliable. For e.g Artprime prometheus metrics bundle have such an option:

    ignored_routes:
        - healthz

Solution Brainstorm

add configuration method for tracing_ignored_routes, and accept symfony route id parameter in it

We use Symfony's route name, prefixed with the HTTP method verb, see https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-symfony/blob/master/src/EventListener/TracingRequestListener.php#L68.

If you want to have more fine grained controlls than ignore_transactions, I recommend using a traces sampler, see https://docs.sentry.io/platforms/php/guides/symfony/configuration/sampling/#setting-a-sampling-function.

We might remove the HTTP verb in the next major version, as we already did so in our Laravel SDK.

I meant, that there are some 'service' routes, I'd like not to see in the profiling list.
So example below will be enough?

sentry:
  options:
    ignore_transactions:
      - 'GET my_route_id'

[cleptric]

#[Route('/blog', name: 'blog_list')]
public function list(): Response
{
    // ...
}

so here you would set

sentry:
  options:
    ignore_transactions:
      - 'GET blog_list'

Great, thx. One more question, sentry profiling page have column for HTTP method, but it's empty. It there any way to resolve it? Or it'll be fixed in further releases?

[cleptric]

We already set it, see https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-symfony/blob/master/src/EventListener/TracingRequestListener.php#L119.

Strange things, but ok, thx, will try to bump version to 5.1 (now at 5.0)

[cleptric]

Can you drop the link to the page where the method is not displayed? In case you use https://sentry.io

[gabplch]

Sure, here it is: https://sentry.io/performance/

[cleptric]

I would need your org subdomain as well 😄

Setting the HTTP method correctly was fixed in #879 which was released as part of 5.1.0.
So updating the SDK should populate the column correctly.
