<SdkOption name="strictTraceContinuation" type="bool" defaultValue="false">

If set to `true`, the SDK will only continue a trace when the organization ID in the incoming `baggage` header matches the organization ID of the current Sentry client.

The client's organization ID is extracted from the DSN or can be explicitly set with the `orgId` option.

If the organization IDs don't match, the SDK will start a new trace instead of continuing the incoming one. This is useful to prevent traces of unknown third-party services from being continued in your application.

</SdkOption>

<SdkOption name="orgId" type="String?">

The organization ID for your Sentry project.

The SDK will try to extract the organization ID from the DSN. If it can't be found, or if you need to override it, you can explicitly provide the ID with this option. The organization ID is used for trace propagation and features like `strictTraceContinuation`.

If you're using the current version of our Flutter SDK, distributed tracing will work out of the box.

If you're using version `7.10.0` or below, you'll need to have our <PlatformLink to="/tracing/">tracing feature enabled</PlatformLink> in order for distributed tracing to work.

### Strict Trace Continuation

When your application communicates with backend services, responses might include `sentry-trace` and `baggage` headers from an upstream service that is also using Sentry.
By default, the SDK will continue the trace from these incoming headers. However, this behavior can be undesirable if the responses are from a third-party service,
as it can lead to unwanted traces, increased billing, and skewed performance data.

To prevent this, you can enable `strictTraceContinuation`. When this option is set to `true`, the SDK only continues a trace if it belongs to the same Sentry organization.
Otherwise, it starts a new trace.

```dart {4}
await SentryFlutter.init((options) {
options.dsn = '___PUBLIC_DSN___';
options.tracesSampleRate = 1.0;
// Ensure that only traces from your own organization are continued
options.strictTraceContinuation = true;
});
```

The SDK automatically parses the organization ID from your DSN. If you use a DSN format that doesn't include the organization ID (number followed by the letter `"o"`), or if you need to override it, you can provide it manually using the `orgId` option:

```dart {5}
await SentryFlutter.init((options) {
options.dsn = '___PUBLIC_DSN___';
options.tracesSampleRate = 1.0;
options.strictTraceContinuation = true;
// Manually provide your organization ID (overrides organization ID parsed from DSN)
options.orgId = '12345';
});

<Alert level="info">

On iOS, only the Dart layer enforces strict trace continuation. Native iOS coverage will be enabled in a future release.
