Error Reporting Settings

SENTRY_CONFIG

A dictionary mapping keyword arguments to values, to be passed to sentry_sdk.init(). See the Sentry Python SDK documentation for more information on supported parameters.

The default configuration is shown below:

{
"sample_rate": 1.0,
"send_default_pii": False,
"traces_sample_rate": 0,
}

Additionally, http_proxy and https_proxy are set to the HTTP and HTTPS proxies, respectively, configured for NetBox (if any).

SENTRY_DSN

This parameter will be removed in NetBox v4.5.

Set this using SENTRY_CONFIG instead:

SENTRY_CONFIG = {
"dsn": "https://examplePublicKey@o0.ingest.sentry.io/0",
}

Default: None

Defines a Sentry data source name (DSN) for automated error reporting. SENTRY_ENABLED must be True for this parameter to take effect. For example:

SENTRY_DSN = "https://examplePublicKey@o0.ingest.sentry.io/0"

SENTRY_ENABLED

Default: False

Set to True to enable automatic error reporting via Sentry.

note

The sentry-sdk Python package is required to enable Sentry integration.


SENTRY_SAMPLE_RATE

This parameter will be removed in NetBox v4.5.

Set this using SENTRY_CONFIG instead:

SENTRY_CONFIG = {
"sample_rate": 0.2,
}

Default: 1.0 (all)

The sampling rate for errors. Must be a value between 0 (disabled) and 1.0 (report on all errors).


SENTRY_SEND_DEFAULT_PII

This parameter will be removed in NetBox v4.5.

Set this using SENTRY_CONFIG instead:

SENTRY_CONFIG = {
"send_default_pii": True,
}

Default: False

Maps to the Sentry SDK's send_default_pii parameter. If enabled, certain personally identifiable information (PII) is added.

Sensitive data

If you enable this option, be aware that sensitive data such as cookies and authentication tokens will be logged.


SENTRY_TAGS

An optional dictionary of tag names and values to apply to Sentry error reports.For example:

SENTRY_TAGS = {
"custom.foo": "123",
"custom.bar": "abc",
}
Reserved tag prefixes

Avoid using any tag names which begin with netbox., as this prefix is reserved by the NetBox application.


SENTRY_TRACES_SAMPLE_RATE

This parameter will be removed in NetBox v4.5.

Set this using SENTRY_CONFIG instead:

SENTRY_CONFIG = {
"traces_sample_rate": 0.2,
}

Default: 0 (disabled)

The sampling rate for transactions. Must be a value between 0 (disabled) and 1.0 (report on all transactions).

Consider performance implications

A high sampling rate for transactions can induce significant performance penalties. If transaction reporting is desired, it is recommended to use a relatively low sample rate of 10% to 20% (0.1 to 0.2).
