Install Sentry's agent skills to teach your AI coding assistant how to set up tracing in your Python application.

Install Skills

npx @sentry/dotagents add getsentry/sentry-for-ai --name sentry-python-sdk
npx skills add getsentry/sentry-for-ai --skill sentry-python-sdk

See the full list of available skills and installation docs for more details.

Prerequisites

  • You have the Python SDK installed (version 0.11.2 or higher)

Configure

To enable tracing in your application, adjust the traces_sample_rate based on the number of trace samples you want to send to Sentry by adding the highlighted code snippet below. (Setting a value of 1.0 will send 100% of your traces.)

import sentry_sdk

sentry_sdk.init(
    dsn="___PUBLIC_DSN___",
    # Add data like request headers and IP for users, if applicable;
    # see https://docs.sentry.io/platforms/python/data-management/data-collected/ for more info
    send_default_pii=True,
    # Set traces_sample_rate to 1.0 to capture 100%
    # of transactions for tracing.
+   traces_sample_rate=1.0,
)

If you’re adopting Tracing in a high-throughput environment, we recommend testing prior to deployment to ensure that your service’s performance characteristics maintain expectations.
