Attachments
Learn more about how Sentry can store additional files in the same request as event attachments.
Sentry can enrich your events for further investigation by storing additional files, such as config or log files, as attachments.
Sentry.add_attachment(path: '/path/to/attachment/file.txt')
Sentry.add_attachment(filename: 'payload.json', bytes: '{"value": 42}'))
These attachments live on the current Scope and will be sent with all events. You can also add them directly on the scope as follows:
Sentry.configure_scope do |scope|
scope.add_attachment(path: '/path/to/attachment/file.txt')
scope.add_attachment(filename: 'payload.json', bytes: '{"value": 42}'))
end
An attachment has the following fields:
path
The path to the attachment file. The filename will be inferred if not explicitly provided when using this mode.
bytes
The content of the attachment as bytes.
filename
The filename is required if using bytes and will be displayed in sentry.io.
content_type
The type of content stored in this attachment. Any MIME type may be used.
Sentry allows at most 20MB for a compressed request, and at most 100MB of uncompressed attachments per event, including the crash report file (if applicable). Uploads exceeding this size are rejected with HTTP error 413 Payload Too Large and the data is dropped immediately. To add larger or more files, consider secondary storage options.
Attachments persist for 30 days; if your total storage included in your quota is exceeded, attachments will not be stored. You can delete attachments or their containing events at any time. Deleting an attachment does not affect your quota - Sentry counts an attachment toward your quota as soon as it is stored.

To limit access to attachments, navigate to your organization's General Settings, then select the Attachments Access dropdown to set appropriate access — any member of your organization, the organization billing owner, member, admin, manager, or owner.
By default, access is granted to all members when storage is enabled. If a member does not have access to the project, the ability to download an attachment is not available; the button will be greyed out in Sentry. The member may only view that an attachment is stored.
Attachments display on the bottom of the Issue Details page for the event that is shown.
Alternately, attachments also appear in the Attachments tab on the Issue Details page, where you can view the Type of attachment, as well as associated events. Click the Event ID to open the Issue Details of that specific event.
