# huey | Sentry for Python

The huey integration adds support for the [huey task queue library](https://huey.readthedocs.io/en/latest/).

## [Install](https://docs.sentry.io/platforms/python/integrations/huey.md#install)

To get started, install `sentry-sdk` from PyPI.

```bash
pip install "sentry-sdk"
```

## [Configure](https://docs.sentry.io/platforms/python/integrations/huey.md#configure)

The huey integration is enabled automatically if you have the `huey` package installed.

```python
import sentry_sdk

sentry_sdk.init(
    dsn="___PUBLIC_DSN___",
    # Add data like request headers and IP for users, if applicable;
    # see https://docs.sentry.io/platforms/python/data-management/data-collected/ for more info
    send_default_pii=True,
    # ___PRODUCT_OPTION_START___ performance
    # Set traces_sample_rate to 1.0 to capture 100%
    # of transactions for tracing.
    traces_sample_rate=1.0,
    # ___PRODUCT_OPTION_END___ performance
    # ___PRODUCT_OPTION_START___ profiling
    # To collect profiles for all profile sessions,
    # set `profile_session_sample_rate` to 1.0.
    profile_session_sample_rate=1.0,
    # Profiles will be automatically collected while
    # there is an active span.
    profile_lifecycle="trace",
    # ___PRODUCT_OPTION_END___ profiling
    # ___PRODUCT_OPTION_START___ logs

    # Enable logs to be sent to Sentry
    enable_logs=True,
    # ___PRODUCT_OPTION_END___ logs
)
```

## [Verify](https://docs.sentry.io/platforms/python/integrations/huey.md#verify)

```python
from huey import SqliteHuey

sentry_sdk.init(...)  # same as above

huey = SqliteHuey(filename='demo.db')

@huey.task()
def add(a, b):
    return a + b

with sentry_sdk.start_transaction(name="testing_huey"):
    result = add(1, 2)
```

Running this will create a new transaction called `testing_huey` in the Performance section of [sentry.io](https://sentry.io). It may take a couple of moments for the transaction to show up.

## [Supported Versions](https://docs.sentry.io/platforms/python/integrations/huey.md#supported-versions)

* huey: 2.0+
* Python: 3.6+

The versions above apply for the current major version of the Python SDK. If you're looking to use Sentry with older Python or framework versions, consider using an older major version of the SDK.
