Automatically captured data

BugSnag automatically captures a variety of data to help you debug your errors. You may wish to avoid capturing some types of data, particularly if there are privacy implications for your users.

AWS Lambda arguments

BugSnag will automatically capture the Lambda function’s event & context arguments in the “AWS Lambda Event” & “AWS Lambda Context” tabs on every error.

You can remove individual items from these tabs using params_filters:

bugsnag.configure(
  params_filters=["invoked_function_arn", "headers"],
)

You can also remove the tab entirely using a before_notify callback:

def remove_aws_metadata(event):
    if "AWS Lambda Event" in event.metadata
        del event.metadata["AWS Lambda Event"]

    if "AWS Lambda Context" in event.metadata
        del event.metadata["AWS Lambda Context"]

bugsnag.before_notify(remove_aws_metadata)

Logging

If the logging integration is used, some contextual information is collected to populate the “extra data” tab.
