Litestar

Learn about using Sentry with Litestar.

The Litestar integration adds support for the Litestar framework.

Install sentry-sdk from PyPI with the litestar extra:

Copied
pip install --upgrade 'sentry-sdk[litestar]' uvicorn

If you have the litestar package in your dependencies, the Litestar integration will be enabled automatically when you initialize the Sentry SDK.

In addition to capturing errors, you can monitor interactions between multiple services or applications by enabling tracing. You can also collect and analyze performance profiles from real users with profiling.

Select which Sentry features you'd like to install in addition to Error Monitoring to get the corresponding installation and configuration instructions below.

Copied
import sentry_sdk

sentry_sdk.init(
    dsn="https://examplePublicKey@o0.ingest.sentry.io/0",
    # Set traces_sample_rate to 1.0 to capture 100%
    # of transactions for tracing.
    traces_sample_rate=1.0,
    # Set profiles_sample_rate to 1.0 to profile 100%
    # of sampled transactions.
    # We recommend adjusting this value in production.
    profiles_sample_rate=1.0,
)

Copied
from litestar import Litestar, get

sentry_sdk.init(...)  # same as above

@get("/hello")
async def hello_world() -> str:
    1 / 0
    return "Hello!"

app = Litestar(route_handlers=[hello_world])

Save the file above as app.py and start the development server with:

Copied
uvicorn app:app

When you point your browser to http://localhost:8000/hello a transaction will be created in the Performance section of sentry.io. Additionally, the ZeroDivisionError we've snuck into our hello_world handler will be sent to sentry.io and will be connected to the transaction.

It takes a couple of moments for the data to appear in sentry.io.
