Falcon

Installing Airbrake in a Falcon application

Falcon

The pybrake package makes it quick and easy to monitor your Falcon app’s performance. It only takes a few minutes to start collecting real performance data so let’s jump right in!

Key Features

Installation & Configuration

Set up the Pybrake’s middleware and project config for your web application

Step 1: Install the latest version of pybrake

Airbrake for Falcon uses our official Python notifier pybrake. To install run:

pip install -U pybrake

Step 2: Configure the Pybrake Falcon middleware

First, import the Falcon middleware from the pybrake package

from pybrake.middleware.falcon import init_app
"""
Initiate the pybrake notifier and apply the patch for error monitoring and APM.

:param app: Instance of Falcon (WSGI/ASGI) application to configure error 
            monitoring and APM
:param config: Dictionary object of application configure error monitoring 
              and APM
:param sqlEngine: SQLALCHEMY engine instance if you want to monitor query 
                    stats, default value will be None
:return: Application instance and update pybrake configuration with 
        notifier object 
"""

Next, configure pybrake parameters and register middleware into your application

app = falcon.App()
PYBRAKE_CONFIG = {
    "PYBRAKE": dict(
        project_id=123,
        project_key='FIXME',
    )
}
app, PYBRAKE_CONFIG = init_app(app, PYBRAKE_CONFIG)

Now you are ready to start reporting errors and performance monitoring to Airbrake from your Falcon app. Please look into sample example to get more idea.
