Automatically captured data

The BugSnag SDK 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.

User information

User information is used to show you which errors are impacting the most users. Set your own user identifiers if you want to be able to find errors affecting individual users.

Data	Default value	Preventing collection
User ID	The remote IP address of the request	Modify User.Id in a callback

Device information

Information about the device can be useful to identify if an error is only occurring on some devices.

Data	Default value	Preventing collection
Hostname	Server host name as identified by os.Hostname()	Modify the Hostname configuration option

Request information

Details about the request can be helpful to reproduce errors.

Params	The URL query parameters	Override the value of params in MetaData["request"] in a callback
Request URL	The URL including query parameters	Override the value of url in MetaData["request"] in a callback

Error information

Modifying error information may affect error grouping.
