Analysing Django requests
Kolo can be used to analyse the request/response cycle of your Django project.
KoloMiddleware
When using python manage.py runserver
, the best approach is to add KoloMiddleware
to the top of your MIDDLEWARE
setting:
MIDDLEWARE = [
"kolo.middleware.KoloMiddleware",
...
]
This will generate a trace starting when a request reaches KoloMiddleware
and ending when the response reaches KoloMiddleware
.
This will also generate a trace for each request generated by Django’s test client.
Warning
You can also use kolo run
, but the autoloading functionality of manage.py runserver
uses subprocesses, which Kolo can’t automatically trace. You can work around this by running kolo run manage.py runserver --noreload --nothreading
.
