Application monitoring

The Genropy framework supports the export or integration of useful data to application monitoring, for different technologies.

Prometheus

Every Genropy application, starting from version 24.5.30.2, has integrated a data exporter for Prometheus, exposing the resource to the standard /metrics path for Prometheus URL scraping, allowing for easier configuration of scraping targets.

Currently the exposed metric is genropy_site_counters, of type counter, with the following possible attributes:

The data can then be monitored and viewed with all the accessory tools that support Prometheus.

Sentry

Since 2024 June 06th in the develop branch and in future versions released after this date, support for Sentry is introduced experimentally

By installing the python package “sentry_dk” through pip and configuring the installation accordingly, it is possible to activate tracing.

The configuration requires the inclusion in the siteconfig of the Client Keys (DSN) provided by the projects configured on Sentry to monitor the backend or frontend of a Genropy application.

This is the example skeleton of the configuration to be inserted:

<sentry js=" XMLOPENINGMASKPLACEHOLDER " pydsn="< python dsn >" .... />

The possible attributes of the sentry element are as follows:

For configuration values related to rates, refer to the Sentry documentation to identify the optimal ones, as they vary based on the type of installation and use of the application. They indicate, with a value from 0.0 to 1.0, the percentage (rate) of specific collection and dispatch.
