Sentry CKAN extension

The Sentry CKAN extension allows to add a Sentry middleware to the CKAN and stack and optionally configure a Sentry log handler.

This extension builds on top of the previous work of:

• @noirbizarre on https://github.com/etalab/ckanext-sentry
• @rshk on https://github.com/opendatatrentino/ckanext-sentry

Installation

To install the extension, activate your virtualenv and run:

pip install ckanext-sentry

Alternative, you can install a development version with:

git clone https://github.com/okfn/ckanext-sentry.git
cd ckanext-sentry
python setup.py develop
pip install -r requirements.txt

Configuration

To activate the plugin, add sentry to the ckan.plugins key in your ini file:

ckan.plugins = sentry <other-plugins>

You must provide a Sentry DSN:

sentry.dsn = https://xxxxxx:[email protected]/1

You can see a full list of supported options for the Sentry client on the official Raven documentation.

If you want Sentry to record your log messages, you can turn it on adding the following options:

sentry.configure_logging=True
sentry.log_level=WARN

The default log level if not provided in the configuration is INFO.

All these configuration options can also be passed via environment variables:

• SENTRY_DSN or CKAN_SENTRY_DSN
• CKAN_SENTRY_CONFIGURE_LOGGING
• CKAN_SENTRY_LOG_LEVEL

The configuration also supports env vars named like the ckanext-envvars extension convention (eg CKAN___SENTRY__LOG_LEVEL).
