How to search by custom attribute such as x-request-id

[surki]

Hello,

In replay sessions, I would like to search by x-request-id (taken from backend) and find the relevant replay session quickly.
X-request-id header is injected into response headers and I can fetch it. Tried adding using sentry.setTag()

    axios.interceptors.response.use(
      (response) => {
        // Capture x-request-id from response headers and set as Sentry tag
        const requestId = response.headers['x-request-id'];
        if (requestId) {
          Sentry.setTag('x-request-id', requestId);
        }
        return response;
      },

But this doesn't seem to be scalable solution as there are thousands of XHRs within a session, each having its own unique x-request-ids and being added to tags etc.

What's the recommended solution here? Requirement being given a x-request-id from backend, I need to find the correct session replay and jump into it.

Hey @surki

You're right that tags are probably not the best fit here. Typically we rely on tracing for this use case. Could you look to using that?
