Configure Sentry for different environments (staging, production)

Question

I want to configure Sentry in a Django app to report errors using different environments, like staging and production. This way I can configure alerting per environment.

How can I configure different environments for Raven using different Django settings? The environment variable is not listed at the Raven Python client arguments docs, however I can find the variable in the raven-python code.

Answer 1

If you are setting environment as a constant within Django settings, you can set the environment argument when initializing the raven-python client.

You're correct—our docs didn't include the environment argument. I've updated them to include it. Thanks for raising the issue.
