Allow configuration to set maximum number of breadcrumbs.

Environment

• Sentry version (mix deps): 7.2.0
• Operating system: macOS, Linux

Description

Sometimes for long lived processes, too many breadcrumbs are added to a sentry event. When posting the event, the client fails if the body is too large. Similar to this issue: https://forum.sentry.io/t/http-error-413-request-entity-too-large/1942.

Is it possible to get configuration to limit the number of breadcrumbs that sentry will attempt to send? Something akin to max_breadcrumbs that is present in the python sentry library?

Yep, makes total sense, can definitely add this. Thanks for opening an issue!

@mitchellhenke Is this something that you think could be released on the 7.x.x line? Or will this only be released when 8.x.x comes out?

[mitchellhenke]

@jfmyers9 I've just released it in 8.0.1. I can backport it if needed though 🙂

[jfmyers9]

If you could backport it, that would be very much appreciated. Thanks for the help.

[mitchellhenke]

Sure thing, released in 7.2.5 🙂
