The majority of services above are configured through the use of environment variables. Just check out :ref:`envs` and you will know the drill.
To obtain logs and information about crashes in a production setup, make sure that you have access to an external Sentry instance (e.g. by creating an account with `sentry.io`_), and set the ``SENTRY_DSN`` variable.
To obtain logs and information about crashes in a production setup, make sure that you have access to an external Sentry instance (e.g. by creating an account with `sentry.io`_), and set the ``SENTRY_DSN`` variable. Logs of level `logging.ERROR` are sent as Sentry events. Therefore, in order to send a Sentry even use:
.. code-block:: python
import logging
logging.error("This event is sent to Sentry", extra={"<example_key>": "<example_value>"})
The `extra` parameter allows you to send additional information about the context of this error.
You will probably also need to setup the Mail backend, for example by adding a `Mailgun`_ API key and a `Mailgun`_ sender domain, otherwise, the account creation view will crash and result in a 500 error when the backend attempts to send an email to the account owner.
