Sentry Integration

Livecomponents include optional support for Sentry performance monitoring and error tracking. When Sentry is available in your project, the library automatically instruments component rendering, state management, and command execution.

Installation

The Sentry integration is completely optional and requires no additional configuration. Simply install Sentry in your Django project:

pip install sentry-sdk

Then configure Sentry in your Django settings as usual:

import sentry_sdk

sentry_sdk.init(
    dsn="your-sentry-dsn",
    traces_sample_rate=1.0,  # Adjust for production
    profiles_sample_rate=1.0,  # Adjust for production
)

If sentry-sdk is not installed, all Sentry-related code is automatically disabled with zero overhead.

What Gets Tracked

When Sentry is available, Live Components automatically creates performance spans for the component lifecycle and command execution.

Transaction Names

HTTP requests to Live Components endpoints are automatically tagged with meaningful transaction names:

lc.call_command([component_id].command_name)

This makes it easy to identify and track specific component interactions in your Sentry dashboard.
