Local variable dump on exception in production environment (DEBUG=False)

[Web Architect]

Hi,

In our production environment, we receive mail whenever an exception happens in our django application. But it contains only the function traces. The log will be helpful it also contains data dump or the local variable dump for each function trace. 

The exception trace on the browser in our development environment (DEBUG=True) contains the local variable dump. 

Hence, could anyone let me know if it's possible to get the local variable dump during exceptions in our django application? 

Thanks.

Hi, 

I am not sure about django, but you can have a look at sentry, we use it in production and it gives everything you ask for. I am sure Django also does it but I find sentry better for error reporting.

Hi Vineeth,

Thanks for the info. Sentry sounds interesting and we will have a look at Sentry as it might need integration. 

Django does report function trace via mails but we are looking for the local variable trace also . Was hoping a small tweak in django should help. 

Thanks.

Ha, Hope you find a solution with django itself, sentry integration is just two lines and boom all uncaught exceptions, logger.error,exception,critical are automatically reported. Goodluck

Hello there,

I haven't tried it myself but you could try subclassing django.utils.log.AdminEmailHandler

to rely on the better-exceptions[0] package to _better_ format exceptions sent in text

emails or simply set the include_html option[1] to True in your LOGGING configuration to

get report similar to when DEBUG=True is enabled in development environment.

Cheers,

Simon

Hi Simon,

Thanks for your response. 

include_html was what I needed and the stack trace in mail contained the variable dump.

Thanks a lot.
