Description

Problem Statement

Sentry by default pushes job arguments: https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-ruby/blob/master/sentry-rails/lib/sentry/rails/active_job.rb#L109

The arguments can contain PIIs. We are currently filtering them out in before_send but it would be better to be able to have a configuration for it.

Solution Brainstorm

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the existing `send default pii` configuration and how it is applied. Propose a similar configuration option for guarding job arguments. Look at the `sentry rails/active job.rb` file.
