How to filter Django routes and Celery tasks using the Python SDK

piraka9011 · March 16, 2022, 11:37am

We have a few routes/tasks that we don’t need to monitor in Sentry since they are not customer facing, but are eating up all our transactions quota.

The docs have not been helpful with actual examples of how to filter certain transactions for Django and neither was support

I’m sharing how we currently filter specific routes/tasks in our Django API in case someone else comes across this issue, they have a point to start from.

Hopefully I can get feedback on this approach from a Sentry team member and ideally they can use it as an example for others.

"""This is a full example of a trace sampler that filters transactions for:
1. Django views/routes/urls (whatever you want to call them)
2. Celery tasks

Generally, you would put this in your `settings.py` file, but you can put format it as needed for your project of course.
We are assuming you use `django-environ` for secrets management.
