Description

Problem Statement

I'm interested in rolling out session replay from the mobile sdks, but I'm a little hesitant because replay is so much more expensive (unit-wise) than most of the other capabilities. I control my own replay sampling rate from a configuration server, but I'd be more comfortable if I had a means to stop ingesting replays from the Sentry web console also. It'd probably be nice to have a granular filter for those, but for now I'd be happy with a on/off switch.

Solution Brainstorm

I think I'd like to see a switch for session replay in .../settings/projects/{proj}/filters. I looked around a bit for something that might satisfy this, but didn't find it anywhere else. Feel free to point me towards it if that already exists.

Research direction

Start by inspecting the project filter settings at .../settings/projects/{proj}/filters and tracing how session replay ingestion is currently filtered. Confirm how an on/off switch should affect replay intake, then verify that the web-console setting controls ingestion as expected without requiring a granular filter.
