Lightrun for Django🔗

To run a Django web server with the Lightrun agent, follow these steps:

  1. In your application folder, install the Python agent by running python -m pip install lightrun
  2. Add the following code to your manage.py file:

    try:
        if os.environ.get('RUN_MAIN') or '--noreload' in sys.argv:
            import lightrun
            lightrun.enable(company_key="<COMPANY_SECRET>")
    except ImportError as e:
        print("Error importing Lightrun: ", e)
    
  3. Run your Django application as normal.

    An alternative enable() argument is:

    lightrun.enable (com_lightrun_server="https://<SERVER_DOMAIN>/", company_key="<COMPANY_SECRET>")
