How to configure

In your settingsfiles, add the following settings to configure the Sentry SDK according with your needs:

Setting	Type	Description
SENTRY_DSN	str mandatory	Sentry project DSN.

SENTRY_APP_PACKAGE_NAME	str optional	Package name of your application¹.
SENTRY_EXTRA_INTEGRATIONS	list optional	List of Sentry integrations you want to use (in addition of the Django integration already set-up)
SENTRY_EXTRA_OPTS	dict optional	Dict with additionnal settings for configuring the Sentry client. See Sentry client configuration

¹: We use pkg_resources from Setuptools to get the package version of your application and send it on every events. This setting is optional but highly recommended.

By default, the setting traces_sample_rate send_default_pii have the following default values

Setting	Value
traces_sample_rate	0 (no tracing samples sent to Sentry)
send_default_pii	True (send user information in events)

You can change de values of those settings by using the SENTRY_EXTRA_OPTS setting. For example, to disable the setting that send user informations:

SENTRY_EXTRA_OPTS = {
    "send_default_pii": False,  # Do not send user information in Sentry events
}

Here's an example of valid configuration:

from sentry_sdk.integrations.redis import RedisIntegration
from company_cms.utils.sentry import before_send_filter

# Your Django configuration ...

SENTRY_DSN = "https://<token>@sentry.company.com/<project_id>"
SENTRY_ENVIRONMENT = "production"

SENTRY_EXTRA_OPTS = {
    "before_send": before_send_filter,  # Do some events filtering before sending them (see: https://docs.sentry.io/platforms/python/configuration/filtering/)
}
