+#### Sample Rate Options
+
+- **SENTRY_API_SAMPLE_RATE**: Controls what percentage of errors are sent to Sentry
+  - Value between 0 and 1 (default is 1.0 or 100% of errors)
+  - Example: 0.5 sends 50% of errors, 0.1 sends 10% of errors
+
+- **SENTRY_API_TRACE_RATE**: Controls what percentage of transactions are sampled for performance monitoring
+  - Value between 0 and 1 (default is 1.0 or 100% of transactions)
+  - Example: 0.5 traces 50% of transactions, 0.1 traces 10% of transactions
+
+These options are useful for high-volume applications where sampling a subset of errors and transactions provides sufficient visibility while managing costs.

 ## Redacting Messages, Response Content from Sentry Logging 
 
 Set `litellm.turn_off_message_logging=True` This will prevent the messages and responses from being logged to sentry, but request metadata will still be logged.
