Why HTTPException gets sent as exception? #2494

heyyyy @Kludex 👋

do you have a specific example? It's turned on with the integrations by default, we will have to check if this is only happening with Starlette and FastAPI integrations. Checking some older discussion, potentially related. It seems this is not always the case. Are the exceptions associated with any specific status code? Can you provide an example event that is sent, and the init setup you have for that python app?

#642

Hey @Kludex 👋🏻 We don't capture all HTTPExceptions, only those with a 500+ status code. This is a pattern in most web framework integrations we have since these 500+ HTTPExceptions usually wrap unhandled errors and/or are important to know about.

We've just shipped an improvement in https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-python/releases/tag/2.5.0 that enables you to pick which HTTP status codes to report to Sentry. Check out the failed_request_status_code option in the docs.
