Sentry

Sentry provides you with a generic interface to view and interact with your error logs.

Links

Install

pip install django-sentry

Configuration

Note The recommended production configuration of Sentry involves setting up a separate web server to handle your error logging. The following instructions are for development purposes only…

Add the following to settings.py:
```
SENTRY_TESTING = True
```

Add sentry and sentry.client to INSTALLED_APPS:

INSTALLED_APPS = (
    ...
    'sentry',
    'sentry.client',
)

Update the logging configuration;

LOGGING = {
    'version': 1,
    'disable_existing_loggers': True,
    'formatters': {
        'verbose': {
            'format': '%(levelname)s %(asctime)s %(module)s %(process)d %(thread)d %(message)s'
        },
    },
    'handlers': {
        'sentry': {
            'level': 'DEBUG',
            'class': 'sentry.client.handlers.SentryHandler',
            'formatter': 'verbose'
        },
        'console': {
            'level': 'DEBUG',
            'class': 'logging.StreamHandler',
            'formatter': 'verbose'
        }
    },
    'loggers': {
        '()': {
            'level': 'WARNING',
            'handlers': ['sentry'],
        },
        'sentry.errors': {
            'level': 'DEBUG',
            'handlers': ['console'],
            'propagate': False,
        },
    },
}

Note: see No Logging issues (below)…

Add the following to urls.py:

urlpatterns = patterns('',
    (r'^sentry/', include('sentry.web.urls')),
)

Create the database tables:
```
python manage.py syncdb
```

No Logging

The documentation suggests setting loggers like this:

'loggers': {
    '()': {

… this didn’t work for me, so I changed to the following:

'loggers': {
    '': {
