Tornado

Installing Airbrake in a Tornado application

Tornado

The pybrake package makes it quick and easy to monitor your Tornado 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 Tornado uses our official Python notifier pybrake. To install run:

pip install -U pybrake

Step 2: Configure the Pybrake Tornado middleware

First, import the Tornado middleware from the pybrake package

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

:param app: Instance of Tornado application to configure error monitoring 
              and APM
"""

Next, configure pybrake parameters and register middleware into your application

from tornado.web import Application  
settings = {
    "PYBRAKE": {
        "project_id": 99999,
        "project_key": "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx",
    },
}
app = Application([...], **settings)
app = init_app(app)

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