Add http.hostname

[keradus]

Problem Statement

we have http.url with full URL like https://github.com/getsentry/sentry/issues/new?template=feature.yml,
but I miss http.hostname with github.com only.

I want to be able to filter and present data by hostname for my project that is hosted under different domains. I can create filters like http.url is *github.com/* , but I cannot aggregate results.

Solution Brainstorm

add http.hostname field

@keradus thanks for creating this issue! I have a couple followup questions to try to understand what you need:

I want to be able to filter and present data

What do you mean by "present data"? We do already display the hostname in the event details ("sentry.io" in this screenshot). Is there another place you would expect to see the hostname?

I can create filters like http.url is github.com/ , but I cannot aggregate results.

Can you expand on what you mean by "cannot aggregate results" means in this context?

If we did add a hostname field to the event and added an http.hostname filter in search, how would that be different from using http.url is *github.com/* to filter results in the issue stream (besides being a bit more accurate)?

[keradus]

There is possibility to filter the data by regex, but not to represent them with aggregation.

Eg, you can create a dashboard with widget that is showing p90(LCP) aggregated by transaction. I need the same aggregated by http.hostname.

@keradus okay I understand you! This makes sense as a feature request, so I'll add it to the backlog. This isn't one of our priorities at the moment though, so it may not see progress until we receive more feedback about it.

@malwilley thanks :thanks:

would you mind to define that threshold? some of requests that are top prio for my org like #55036 or #62608 got same and not prioritised for year+.
I understand the massive amount of request, what is the threshold (votes on github issue, $ in invoice we pay) to get prioritised ?

[malwilley]

@keradus I wish I could give you a rubric, but the answer is that it depends. The best metric is probably the number of GitHub votes/comments since our primary goal to is to develop features that impact a large number of users.

for anyone finding this request, here is the workaround I applied in my apps:

Sentry.init({
  initialScope: {
    tags: {
      hostname: location.hostname,
    }
  }
});
