You'll love Honeybadger with Django
We built Honeybadger for speed and efficiency—our mission is to help you ship better software, faster. Django takes the hassle out of web development, and Honeybadger takes the hassle out of monitoring. It's the perfect match. :)

A first-class monitoring platform for Django and Python
Honeybadger simplifies your production stack by combining three common types of monitoring into a single, easy to use platform for Django:
Exception Monitoring
Delight your users by proactively monitoring for and fixing application errors.
Uptime Monitoring
Know when your app is down or is having problems due to external issues.
Check-In Monitoring
Know when your scheduled tasks and background jobs go missing or silently fail.
Getting started is easy
In most Django apps, installing Honeybadger is just a few steps:
$ pip install honeybadger
# settings.py
MIDDLEWARE = [
'honeybadger.contrib.DjangoHoneybadgerMiddleware',
...
]
Once installed, Honeybadger automatically reports exceptions in controllers, background jobs, rake tasks, and more. Check out the docs »
Fix errors before your users can report them
How your users experience your app failing is a huge opportunity for you to create a positive interaction with them, and turn annoyance into admiration. Honeybadger customers routinely surprise and delight their users by fixing errors before they have a chance to complain.
— Molly Struve, Head of Engineering DEV.to
Honeybadger provides all the context you need to understand what is causing each exception, who's affected by it, and makes it easy to follow up with those users once the fix has been deployed.

Respond instantly when bad things happen
Whether it's a single user experiencing a single error, or your site is down for everyone, Honeybadger instantly notifies you when something is wrong.
With built-in uptime monitoring, you'll be the first to know when:
- AWS/Google Cloud Platform/Azure/et al. have issues
- SSL/TLS certificates expire
- Web servers crash
- ...and the list goes on...
Honeybadger's notification system integrates with all of your favorite services including chat systems like Slack and Google Hangouts, alert platforms like PagerDuty and OpsGenie, and monitoring platforms like DataDog and VictorOps.
Never miss another silent failure
Remember the last time the monthly backup failed, a critical email wasn't sent, or some customers didn't get billed? Honeybadger monitors your critical background jobs and services to make sure they check in when they should.

With Honeybadger, you'll have a different check-in for each scheduled task, queue, or any other type of background job in your application, ensuring that each piece of work runs on time.
Iterate faster through collaboration
Do you ever find yourself digging through chat logs to find a solution that your coworker told you about last month? Honeybadger's built-in issue tracker keeps discussion central to each error, so that if it pops up again you'll be able to pick up right where you left off.
Honeybadger also integrates with all of the project management tools you already use, such as GitHub Issues, Jira, Pivotal Tracker, and more. With issue automation, Honeybadger can even create and update issues automatically as they are fixed.
If it feels like it was built for you, it's because it was!
Honeybadger cares about Django developers. We've customized Honeybadger to give you the badass experience you deserve:
- Easy 3-minute setup
- Beautiful Python stack traces
- Comprehensive documentation
Honeybadger was created by developers. Because we're a bootstrapped company, we answer only to you, our customer. We frequently go above and beyond to provide an awesome experience.
