Connect your Django project to GlitchTip

Install the sentry Python SDK:

pip install sentry-sdk

Add the following to your Django settings.py:

import sentry_sdk

sentry_sdk.init(
    dsn="YOUR_DSN",
    traces_sample_rate=0.01,  # 1% of transactions — adjust to your needs
    auto_session_tracking=False,  # GlitchTip does not support sessions
    # enable_logs=True,  # Opt-in: send logs to GlitchTip (uses disk space)
)

The SDK auto-detects Django and enables the integration automatically. This captures unhandled exceptions in views, middleware errors, and SQL query breadcrumbs.

Verify your setup by adding a test view:

from django.urls import path

def trigger_error(request):
    division_by_zero = 1 / 0

urlpatterns = [
    path("glitchtip-debug/", trigger_error),
]

Tips

• Set traces_sample_rate to a low value in production. Django transactions cover each HTTP request — even 1% gives you useful performance data without excessive storage.
• The SDK automatically adds breadcrumbs for database queries, template rendering, and middleware.
• Use release and environment options to track which deployments introduce errors.

Content Security Policy Reporting

Using Content Security Policy (CSP)? Send reports to GlitchTip. Set your website's CSP report-uri directive to the GlitchTip Security Endpoint.

Django 6.0+ includes built-in CSP support. In settings.py set:

SECURE_CSP = {
    # ...
    "report-uri": ["your Security Endpoint here"],
}
