Hi @Zih0 thanks for writing in and for opening the PR! Before we review and merge it, can you explain what the consequences of the SDK not setting this default value are in the Sentry UI? Is there something missing? As far as I can tell, our Sentry backend sets a default level if it's not set by the SDK. However, if there's a discrepancy, I think we should fix it as you suggested.

@Lms24 Thank you for your comment!
There was nothing wrong in Sentry UI. 🙂

I need to explain my situation first.
I wanted to use beforeSend to handle the event if the level of the event is 'error' and 'fatal'.
Then, I found that the event's level was coming in from the client side, while the event's level was not coming in from the server side.
So I thought this was a bug, so I opened the issue and PR.

If you don't think this is a bug, you can close the issue. :)

Ahh I see, you're bringing up a good point. Let's try to align the behavior with the browser SDK. I just gave the PR a review. Looks good mostly, let's just fix the test then we can merge it.
