Django Error Reporting - How to know which user triggered the error?

Is there a way I can customize Django error reporting so when it emails me it lets me know which user triggered the error?

I'm in Django 1.2 if i开发者_运维技巧t matters.

Much Thanks in advance!

If you don't want to use sentry you can use this simple middleware to attache the user-infos to the error mail:

# source: https://gist.github.com/646372
class ExceptionUserInfoMiddleware(object):
    """
    Adds user details to request context on receiving an exception, so that they show up in the error emails.

    Add to settings.MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES and keep it outermost(i.e. on top if possible). This allows
    it to catch exceptions in other middlewares as well.
    """

    def process_exception(self, request, exception):
        """
        Process the exception.

        :Parameters:
           - `request`: request that caused the exception
           - `exception`: actual exception being raised
        """

        try:
            if request.user.is_authenticated():
                request.META['USERNAME'] = str(request.user.username)
                request.META['USER_EMAIL'] = str(request.user.email)
        except:
            pass

You can simply put this class in a *.py file anywhere below your Django project and add a reference to MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES. I.e. if you put it in a file "middleware" in the project root (where your settings.py is) , you simply add middleware.ExceptionUserInfoMiddleware.

I highly recommend http://readthedocs.org/docs/sentry/en/latest/index.html for the job.
