Swift Sentry

Exception tracking for OpenStack Swift deployments using python-raven and Sentry

Using swift-sentry via Swift's custom log handler hook you can capture/track exceptions on a local Sentry instance or via http://getsentry.com (if you don't wish to host your own Sentry server)

Requirements

• Swift => 1.7.5
• python-raven => 2.7 (using the eventlet+http(s) transport)

Configuration

Sentry support is enabled using the custom log handlers hook. To enable it for a service (proxy-server, account-server, container-server, object-server, etc) simple add the following lines to the [DEFAULT] (or a subsection) section of the config:

log_custom_handlers = swift_sentry.sentry_logger
# The sentry DSN to use - be sure to use an eventlet transport
log_sentry_dsn = eventlet+http://3f712c8421d40fc:d8aff88e0e506@sentry.yourdomain.com:someport/2
#Optionally change the log level at which entries are reported
#log_sentry_level = ERROR
