Hey, thanks for writing in! Could you provide a more detailed reproduction to help us debug this? Are you using any integrations?

[raulbrennersc]

Hi @AbhiPrasad, yes I'm using Sentry.Integrations.Http, Tracing.Integrations.Express and Tracing.Integrations.Postgres. I'm not really sure on what other details would help, this is my first time working with sentry.

This is a known problem, unfortunately - our handled values don't make a ton of sense. Fixing it is in our backlog, but has unfortunately not yet made it onto the roadmap. This is helpful feedback, though! Knowing that it's relevant for more people helps us know what to prioritize.

Ok, thanks for clarifying.

We've improved this in the latest version of the 7.x Sentry JavaScript SDKs. Please give it a try!
