Quickstart

1. Configure your app to user Google Cloud project:

• Enabled the Error Reporting api as per https://cloud.google.com/error-reporting/docs/setup/python

3. Enable the provided exception handler by setting handler500 in your Django project's root urls.py:

   # in myproject/urls.py
   import dj_cloud_error
   
   handler500 = dj_cloud_error.handler500

Note: handler500 is only used if DEBUG = False in django settings.

Settings

To disable error reporting (eg in your CI/CD environment), add this to your django settings:

# in myproject/settings/test.py
CLOUD_ERROR_REPORTING_DISABLED = True

To configure the name under which the errors appear in add this to your django settings:

CLOUD_ERROR_REPORTING_SERVICE_NAME = "myservice"  # defaults to "python"

pip install dj_cloud_error[ip]
