Django

Sentry's Django integration adds support for the Django framework. It enables automatic reporting of errors and exceptions as well as performance monitoring. In order to get started using the integration, you should have a Sentry account and a

Install

Install sentry-sdk from PyPI with the django extra:

pip install --upgrade 'sentry-sdk[django]'

Configure

To configure the Sentry SDK, initialize it in your settings.py file:

import sentry_sdk

sentry_sdk.init(
    dsn="https://examplePublicKey@o0.ingest.sentry.io/0",
    enable_tracing=True,
)

Verify

The snippet below includes an intentional error that will be captured by Sentry when triggered. This will allow you to make sure that everything is working as soon as you set it up:

from django.urls import path

def trigger_error(request):
    division_by_zero = 1 / 0

urlpatterns = [
    path('sentry-debug/', trigger_error),
    # ...
]

Behavior

Issue Reporting

• If you use django.contrib.auth and you've set send_default_pii=True in your call to init, user data (such as current user id, email address, username) will be attached to error events.
• Request data will be attached to all events: HTTP method, URL, headers, form data, JSON payloads. Sentry excludes raw bodies and multipart file uploads.
• Logs emitted by any logger will be recorded as breadcrumbs by the Logging integration (this integration is enabled by default).

Performance Monitoring

The following parts of your Django

• Middleware stack
• Signals
• Database queries
• Redis commands
• Access to Django caches

Options

By adding DjangoIntegration explicitly to your sentry_sdk.init() call you can set options for DjangoIntegration to change its behavior:

import sentry_sdk
from sentry_sdk.integrations.django import DjangoIntegration

sentry_sdk.init(
    dsn="https://examplePublicKey@o0.ingest.sentry.io/0",
    # ...
    integrations=[
        DjangoIntegration(
            transaction_style='url',
            middleware_spans=True,
            signals_spans=False,
            cache_spans=False,
        ),
    ],
)

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

• transaction_style:

  How to name transactions showing up in Sentry performance monitoring.

  • "/myproject/myview/<foo>" if you set transaction_style="url".
  • "myproject.myview" if you set transaction_style="endpoint".

  The default is "url".

• middleware_spans:

  Create spans and track performance of all middleware in your Django

  projectRepresents your service in Sentry and allows you to scope events to a distinct application.
  . Set to False to disable.

  The default is True.

• signals_spans:

  Create spans and track performance of all synchronous Django signals receiver functions in your Django project. Set to False to disable.

  The default is True.

• cache_spans:

  Create spans and track performance of all read operations to configured caches. The spans also include information if the cache access was a hit or a miss. Set to False to disable.

  The default is True.
