Add custom tags to raven

Question

How to add custom tags to get raven set it to sentry?

When I used raven in django there was several tags like OS, Browser, etc.

But I want to add such tags by myself using raven, without django.

Thanks.

Answer 1

If I'm correctly understanding the question, you can pass to sentry whatever you want in extra dictionary, see raven docs.

You can also construct messages via capture* methods (and pass extra too):

• capture
• captureException
• captureMessage
• captureQuery

Btw, OS, browser...etc parameters sentry gets from the passed request object.

Answer 2

It's quite easy. Just use Client.capture

from raven import Client
client = Client("https://<key>:<secret>@sentry.io/<project>")
client.capture("raven.events.Message", message='foo_bar', data={
    'tags': {
        'tag_name': "tag_value"
    }
})
