14.1.5 Breadcrumbs ¶

Breadcrumbs are chronological events leading up to the error, forming a timeline of actions. Each breadcrumb includes:

  • Timestamp: When the event occurred.
  • Category: Type of breadcrumb (e.g., console, http, navigation).
  • Message: Descriptive text.
  • Data: Additional payload, such as URL for HTTP requests.
  • Level: Severity, if applicable.

Breadcrumbs can be expanded to view detailed data in JSON format. This section corresponds to Sentry’s breadcrumbs interface, which records events like log statements, UI interactions, or network calls, aiding in reconstructing the error sequence.
