How to do error logging using Sentry?

• Go to http://sentry.io/
• Register an account.
• Create a project under that account (choose the framework, in our case it's Django).
• Add the below at the top of your settings.py

import sentry_sdk
from sentry_sdk.integrations.django import DjangoIntegration

• Now add this in your secrets.py. This will be provided when you will be creating the project on sentry.

sentry_sdk.init(
    dsn="dsn_link",
    integrations=[DjangoIntegration()],
    traces_sample_rate=1.0,

    # If you wish to associate users to errors (assuming you are using
    # django.contrib.auth) you may enable sending PII data.
    send_default_pii=True
)

• Now to rebuild the project, do docker-compose build && docker-compose up.
• Try hitting any API by adding print(1/0) as the first line of a view.
• You will receive a 500 in your response.
• Check sentry. You should be seeing something like below, if yes then you are done.

How to do application logging using Scalyr?

• Go to https://app.scalyr.com/
• Register your account.
• Verify your email.
• Choose setup using docker
• In your terminal run the following command to pull Scalyr's docker image docker pull scalyr/scalyr-agent-docker-json. This will pull an image of Scalyr logger in your system.
• While setting up on https://app.scalyr.com/help/install-agent-docker you will be asked to create a api_key.json in the root folder of your application. In our case it will be whatsapp_clone_backend root itself.
• Save the following -

{ 
  api_key: "your api key"
}

at root (i.e. at whatsapp_clone_backend itself)

• Then run the following in your terminal to start the docker scalyr agent

docker run -d --name scalyr-docker-agent \
-v /Users/cosmos/projects/whatsapp_clone_backend/api_key.json:/etc/scalyr-agent-2/agent.d/api_key.json \
-v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/scalyr/docker.sock \
-v /var/lib/docker/containers:/var/lib/docker/containers \
scalyr/scalyr-agent-docker-json

Remeber to change /Users/cosmos/projects/whatsapp_clone_backend/api_key.json to your path

• Now to rebuild the project, do docker-compose build && docker-compose up.

• Hit any API, you should be seeing the logs coming up on scalyr, follow below image to see the logs, if this comes, then you are done.

• Try to use search functionality of scalyr using the screeshot below.
