Auklet for Django

This is the official Django agent for Auklet. It officially supports Django 1.7+, and runs on most POSIX-based operating systems (Debian, Ubuntu Core, Raspbian, QNX, etc).

Features

Automatic report of unhandled exceptions
Location, system architecture, and system metrics identification for all issues

Quickstart

To install the agent with pip:

pip install django-auklet

To setup Auklet monitoring for you application simply include it in your INSTALLED_APPS:

INSTALLED_APPS = (
    'auklet',
    ...,
)

Then go and create an application at https://app.auklet.io/ to get your config settings:

AUKLET_CONFIG = {
    "api_key": "<your api key>",
    "application": "<your application id>",
    "organization": "<your organization id>"
}

Authorization

To authorize your application you need to provide both an API key and app ID. These values are available in the connection settings of your application as well as during initial setup.

Optional: Release Tracking

You can track releases and identify which servers are running what variant of code. To do this, you may provide the git commit hash of your deployed code and a version string you can modify. This release value should be passed into the settings variable through the release key, and your custom version should be passed via the version key. The release value must be the git commit hash that represents the deployed version of your application. The version value is a string that you may set to whatever value you wish to define your versions. Please note that you can provide either a release value, version value, or both.

Providing release enables code snippets to be shown for identified errors if you’ve linked your GitHub.
Including version allows you to track what version of code had the issue.

curl -X POST https://api.auklet.io/v1/releases/ \
            -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
            -H "Authorization: JWT <your api key>" \
            -d '{"application": "<your application id>", "release": "'$(git rev-parse HEAD)'", "version": "<your own version>"}'

You can get a pre constructed curl request from the setup directions at Auklet.

AUKLET_CONFIG = {
    "api_key": "<your api key>",
    "application": "<your application id>",
    "organization": "<your organization id>",
    "release": "<the git hash of your deployed code>",  # Optional
    "version": "1.2.3"
}

Middleware Error Handling

To set up default Django middleware error handling, add the Auklet middleware to the end of your middleware configs:

MIDDLEWARE = (
    ...,
    "auklet.middleware.AukletMiddleware",
)

If you are already using an error handling middleware which returns a response, you need to disable it or do the following before you return a response; this ensures that the signal is sent to the Auklet middleware.

got_request_exception.send(sender=self, request=request)
