DJANGO EXCEPT CATCHER

django-except-catcher is a simple tool to catch and store exceptions and 500 errors in production django applications.

When a 500 error happens a record with the details is stored in the database.

Exceptions are stored and listed so you can find similar errors and look their "yellow error page", just like in django's debug mode.

It doesn't require to run any daemon in order to work, just install a regular django module.

Inspired by django's AdminMailHandler.

For an example out of the box, take a look here.

INSTALLATION

Install django-except-catcher:

   pip install django-except-catcher

Add to urls.py:

   path('', include(('except_catcher.urls', 'except_catcher'), namespace="except_catcher"))

add to settings.py:

    INSTALLED_APPS = [
        ...
        'except_catcher',
    ]

    LOGGING = {
        'version': 1,
        'handlers': {
                'error_catcher': {
                'level': 'ERROR',
                'class': 'except_catcher.handlers.CatchExceptionHandler',
            },
        },
        'loggers': {
            'django.request': {
                'handlers': [ 'error_catcher'],
                'level': 'ERROR',
                'propagate': False,
            },
        }
    }

run migrations:

   ./manage.py migrate except_catcher

You can purposely throw an exception in the url (must be superuser):

http://localhost:8000/test-exception/

Now go to url:

http://localhost:8000/errors/

Only the superuser have access to these reports.
