This is very much in line with this discussion: #946
The issue is that the current handling of minidumps does not work well with some watchdog/monitoring implementations, where a thread will detect that another thread is stuck, which works like this:
This makes complete sense, since the dump generator cannot know which thread caused the issue. However, it makes it very hard to debug those issues because:
To fix this, we would need a way to specify to sentry which thread to highlight. I originally thought that using
Exception > thread_id
attribute could work, but the discussion makes it clear that it does not.Hence this feature request issue. Would it be possible to handle this case, ie if the
Exception > thread_id
attribute is set, pick this one to higlight instead of the thread marked as "crashed".Thanks!
