Connect your Django project to GlitchTip

Install sentry-sdk into your Django project:

$ pip install --upgrade sentry-sdk

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="YOUR-GLITCHTIP-DSN-HERE",
    integrations=[DjangoIntegration()],
    auto_session_tracking=False,
    traces_sample_rate=0
)

You can verify your SDK installation by creating a route that triggers an error:

from django.urls import path

def trigger_error(request):
    division_by_zero = 1 / 0

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

Visiting this route will trigger an error that will be captured by GlitchTip.

Configuration

Here is a more robust configuration example:

sentry_sdk.init(
    dsn="YOUR-GLITCHTIP-DSN-HERE",
    integrations=[DjangoIntegration()],
    auto_session_tracking=False,
    traces_sample_rate=0.01,
    release="1.0.0",
    environment="production",
)

• dsn - Where to send event data too, found in GlitchTip in project settings.
• integrations - Platform integrations such as DjangoIntegration and CeleryIntegration.
• auto_session_tracking - Not supported, set to False.
• traces_sample_rate - Percent of requests that are sent to GlitchTip as a performance monitoring transaction. 0.01 meaning 1%. We recommend setting to a low value to save costs/disk space.
• release - Set release name such as "1.0". Defaults to environment variable SENTRY_RELEASE.
• environment - Set the running environment name, such as "production". Defaults to environment variable SENTRY_ENVIRONMENT.
• send_default_pii - Set to True to send additional PII event data. Defaults to False.
• debug - Set to True to view more information about the SDK when something goes wrong. Defaults to False.
