Logging

Calling sentry_sdk.init() already integrates with the logging module. It is equivalent to this explicit configuration:

import logging
import sentry_sdk
from sentry_sdk.integrations.logging import LoggingIntegration

# All of this is already happening by default!
sentry_logging = LoggingIntegration(
    level=logging.INFO,        # Capture info and above as breadcrumbs
    event_level=logging.ERROR  # Send errors as events
)
sentry_sdk.init(
    dsn="https://examplePublicKey@o0.ingest.sentry.io/0",
    integrations=[sentry_logging]
)

Usage

import logging
logging.debug("I am ignored")
logging.info("I am a breadcrumb")
logging.error("I am an event", extra=dict(bar=43))
logging.exception("An exception happened")

• There will be an error event with the message "I am an event".
• "I am a breadcrumb" will be attached as a breadcrumb to that event.
• bar will end up in the event's extra attributes.
• "An exception happened" will send the current exception from sys.exc_info() with the stack trace and everything to the Sentry Python SDK. If there's no exception, the current stack will be attached.
• The debug message "I am ignored" will not surface anywhere. To capture it, you need to lower level to DEBUG.

(New in version 0.5.0: Ability to add data to extra)

(New in version 0.6.0: exc_info=True now always attaches a stack trace)

Ignoring a logger

Sometimes a logger is extremely noisy and spams you with pointless errors. You can completely ignore that logger by calling ignore_logger:

from sentry_sdk.integrations.logging import ignore_logger


ignore_logger("a.spammy.logger")

logger = logging.getLogger("a.spammy.logger")
logger.error("hi")  # no error sent to sentry

You can also use before-send and before-breadcrumb to ignore only certain messages. See Filtering Events for more information.

Options

You can pass the following keyword arguments to LoggingIntegration():

• level (default INFO): The Sentry Python SDK will record log records with a level higher than or equal to level as breadcrumbs. Inversely, the SDK completely ignores any log record with a level lower than this one. If a value of None occurs, the SDK won't send log records as breadcrumbs.

• event_level (default ERROR): The Sentry Python SDK will report log records with a level higher than or equal to event_level as events. If a value of None occurs, the SDK won't send log records as events.

Handler classes

Instead of using LoggingIntegration, you can use two regular logging logging.Handler subclasses that the integration exports.

Usually, you don't need this. You can use this together with default_integrations=False if you want to opt into what the Sentry Python SDK captures. However, correctly setting up logging is difficult. Also, an opt-in approach to capturing data will miss errors you may not think of on your own.
