# Starlite | Sentry for Python

The Starlite integration adds support for the [Starlite framework](https://docs.litestar.dev/1/).

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

Install `sentry-sdk` from PyPI:

```bash
pip install sentry-sdk uvicorn
```

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

If you have the `starlite` package in your dependencies, the Starlite integration will be enabled automatically when you initialize the Sentry SDK.

```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/starlite.md#verify)

```python
from starlite import Starlite, get

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

@get("/hello")
async def hello_world() -> str:
    1 / 0
    return "Hello!"

app = Starlite(route_handlers=[hello_world])
```

Save the file above as `app.py` and start the development server with:

```bash
uvicorn app:app
```

When you point your browser to <http://localhost:8000/hello> a transaction will be created in the Performance section of [sentry.io](https://sentry.io). Additionally, the `ZeroDivisionError` we've snuck into our `hello_world` handler will be sent to [sentry.io](https://sentry.io) and will be connected to the transaction.

It takes a couple of moments for the data to appear in [sentry.io](https://sentry.io).
