# FeatureTelemetry.LogError emits more than caller custom dimensions
|
|
|
|
## Description
|
|
|
|
`FeatureTelemetry.LogError` emits its `ErrorText` as the telemetry message and adds it as `alErrorText`. The overloads with `ErrorCallStack` also add `alErrorCallStack`. These dimensions are produced in addition to the caller-supplied `CustomDimensions` dictionary, and the Feature Telemetry implementation sends the event as `SystemMetadata`.
|
|
|
|
## Best Practice
|
|
|
|
Review the dedicated error arguments as telemetry payload. Capture `GetLastErrorText(true)` when scrubbed platform error text is sufficient, and pass `GetLastErrorCallStack()` only as a call stack. Keep custom dimensions non-personal too.
|
|
|
|
See sample: [`featuretelemetry-logerror-implicit-errortext.good.al`](featuretelemetry-logerror-implicit-errortext.good.al).
|
|
|
|
## Anti Pattern
|
|
|
|
Approving a `LogError` call because its explicit dictionary contains only safe values while it passes unsanitized `GetLastErrorText()` or arbitrary context through `ErrorText` or `ErrorCallStack`. Those arguments become telemetry dimensions outside the dictionary.
|
|
|
|
See sample: [`featuretelemetry-logerror-implicit-errortext.bad.al`](featuretelemetry-logerror-implicit-errortext.bad.al).
