How do you use Sentry?

Sentry Saas (sentry.io)

Version

1.40.3

Steps to Reproduce

SentrySpanProcessor stores all open span in self.otel_span_map dict. This leads to a memory leak if otel span is deleted without closing. E.g. due to a bug: open-telemetry/opentelemetry-python-contrib#2149

Expected Result

Sentry span should be deleted after otel span is deleted by GC.

Actual Result

Sentry spans are stored in self.otel_span_map forever.

Thanks for the report @vanchaxy, putting this in our backlog.

Same problem, docker containing the flask process crashes about once an hour due to memory overflow when no heavy tasks are performed.

OTel spans that are handled in the Sentry span processor can never be finished/closed. This leads to a memory leak. This change makes sure that open spans will be removed from memory after 10 minutes to prevent memory usage from growing constantly.

Fixes #2722

That's a very controversial solution. At least, make SPAN_MAX_TIME_OPEN_MINUTES configurable. Our system has a lot of long-running jobs that are longer than 10 minutes. I think the proper solution will be to create weak references to otel spans and remove sentry spans only if otel spans were deleted.

* ref: Improve scrub_dict typing (#2768)

This change improves the typing of the scrub_dict method.

Previously, the scrub_dict method's type hints indicated that only dict[str, Any] was accepted as the parameter. However, the method is actually implemented to accept any object, since it checks the types of the parameters at runtime. Therefore, object is a more appropriate type hint for the parameter.

#2753 depends on this change for mypy to pass

* Propagate sentry-trace and baggage to huey tasks (#2792)

This PR enables passing `sentry-trace` and `baggage` headers to background tasks using the Huey task queue.

This allows easily correlating what happens inside a background task with whatever transaction (e.g. a user request in a Django application) queued the task in the first place.

Periodic tasks do not get these headers, because otherwise each execution of the periodic task would be tied to the same parent trace (the long-running worker process).

* ref: Event Type (#2753)

Implements type hinting for Event via a TypedDict. This commit mainly adjusts type hints; however, there are also some minor code changes to make the code type-safe following the new changes.

Some items in the Event could have their types expanded by being defined as TypedDicts themselves. These items have been indicated with TODO comments.
