How to ignore a logger in the Sentry Python SDK

Under the sentry_sdk I had to use the following code in before_send to get it to ignore the django.security.DisallowedHost exception.

def before_send(event, hint):
        """Don't log django.DisallowedHost errors in Sentry."""
        if 'log_record' in hint:
            if hint['log_record'].name == 'django.security.DisallowedHost':
                return None

        return event

Quick answer

See LoggingIntegration, eg:

from sentry_sdk.integrations.logging import ignore_logger


ignore_logger("a.spammy.logger")

logger = logging.getLogger("a.spammy.logger")
logger.error("hi")  # no error sent to sentry

A more elaborate but generic way to ignore events by certain characteristics

See before_breadcrumb and before_send, eg:

import sentry_sdk

def before_breadcrumb(crumb, hint):
    if crumb.get('category', None) == 'a.spammy.Logger':
        return None
    return crumb

def before_send(event, hint):
    if event.get('logger', None) == 'a.spammy.Logger':
        return None
    return event

sentry_sdk.init(before_breadcrumb=before_breadcrumb, before_send=before_send)
