Error logging

DjipFast uses Sentry to log errors. Sentry is a cloud service that helps you monitor and fix bugs.

Setup

  1. Go to Sentry and sign up for an account.
  2. Click on [Projects] and [+ Create Project].
  3. Select [Django], leave the defaults and click [Create Project].
  4. Copy the DSN value which is displayed in the code under Configure SDK.
  5. Add the SENTRY_DSN environment variable to your .env.prod file (or .env.local for local development).

Test

  1. By default Sentry is disabled when no Sentry DSN is set. Enable it by setting a SENTRY_DSN environment variable.

    .env.local
    SENTRY_DSN=https://[email protected]/1234567890

  2. Run the development server.

    python manage.py runserver

  3. Add this line to the end of the app/views.py file.

    app/views.py
    def divide_by_zero():
    return 1 / 0

  4. Add this line to the end of the app/urls.py file.

    app/urls.py
    from app import views
urlpatterns = [
    # ...
    path('divide-by-zero/', views.divide_by_zero, name='divide-by-zero'),
]

  5. Go to http://localhost:8000/divide-by-zero/ and you should see an error message.

  6. Check your Sentry dashboard to see the error.
