[UPDATE] Django Orbit v0.6.1 - Transaction & Storage Monitoring + Bug Fixes

[Hernan Gustavo]

Hello Django community,

I'm happy to share an update on Django Orbit, the "Satellite Observability" tool for Django that I announced here recently.

What's New in v0.6.0 & v0.6.1:

🔄 Transaction Watcher - Track database transactions

• Intercepts `transaction.atomic()` blocks

• Records commit/rollback status with duration

• Captures exceptions that trigger rollbacks

📁 Storage Watcher - Monitor file operations

• Tracks save, open, delete, exists operations

• Works with FileSystemStorage and S3Boto3Storage

• Records file path, size, and backend info (Many thanks to Steven Mapes for the feedback 🚀)

🐛 Bug Fixes (v0.6.1)

• Fixed missing database migration for new entry types

• Fixed command watcher breaking interactive commands like `collectstatic` (Thanks to earthspike for the report)

Full Feature List:

Django Orbit now monitors 16 types of events:

✅ HTTP Requests & Responses

✅ SQL Queries (with N+1 detection)

✅ Exceptions & Logs

✅ Background Jobs (Celery, Django-Q, RQ, APScheduler)

✅ Cache Operations

✅ Model Events (create/update/delete)

✅ HTTP Client Requests

✅ Email Sending

✅ Django Signals

✅ Redis Commands

✅ Permission Checks (Gates)

✅ Database Transactions (NEW)

✅ File Storage Operations (NEW)
