Django

Import name: sentry_sdk.integrations.django.DjangoIntegration

The Django integration adds support for the Django Web Framework from Version 1.6 upwards.

  1. Install sentry-sdk:

     $ pip install --upgrade 'sentry-sdk==0.7.10'

  2. To configure the SDK, initialize it with the Django integration in your settings.py file:

    import sentry_sdk
from sentry_sdk.integrations.django import DjangoIntegration

sentry_sdk.init(
    dsn="___PUBLIC_DSN___",
    integrations=[DjangoIntegration()]
)

Behavior

  • All exceptions leading to an Internal Server Error are reported.

  • Request data is attached to all events: HTTP method, URL, headers, form data, JSON payloads. Sentry excludes raw bodies and multipart file uploads. Sentry also excludes personally identifiable information (such as user ids, usernames, cookies, authorization headers, IP addresses) unless you set send_default_pii to True.

  • If you use django.contrib.auth and have set send_default_pii=True in your call to init, user data (current user id, email address, username) is attached to the event.

  • The Sentry Python SDK will attach SQL queries as breadcrumbs.

  • Logging with any logger will create breadcrumbs when the Logging integration is enabled (done by default).

Options

You can pass the following keyword arguments to DjangoIntegration():

  • transaction_style:

    def my_function(request):
    return "ok"

urlpatterns = [
    url(r"^myurl/(?P<myid>\d+)/$", my_function)
]

    In the above code, you would set the transaction to:

    • /myurl/{myid} if you set transaction_style="url". This matches the behavior of the old Raven SDK.
    • my_function if you set transaction_style="function_name"

    The default is "url".

User Feedback

You can use the user feedback feature with this integration. For more information see User Feedback.

Reporting other status codes

In some situations, it might make sense to report 404 Not Found and other errors besides uncaught exceptions (500 Internal Server Error) to Sentry. You can achieve this by writing your own Django view for those status codes. For example:


# urls.py

handler404 = 'mysite.views.my_custom_page_not_found_view'

# views.py

from django.http import HttpResponseNotFound
from sentry_sdk import capture_message


def my_custom_page_not_found_view(*args, **kwargs):
    capture_message("Page not found!", level="error")

    # return any response here, e.g.:
    return HttpResponseNotFound("Not found")

The error message you send to Sentry will have the usual request data attached.

Refer to Customizing Error Views from the Django documentation for more information.
