Quickstart

Getting started with Kolo only takes a couple of minutes. The fastest way to understand what Kolo does and how it can be helpful is by trying it out on a codebase you work on. But if you’re in a hurry or can’t try Kolo on your own codebase, you can preview some functionality in our playground.

Trace a Django request

Trace a Django request for inspection, visualization, and debugging purposes.

1. Install kolo using pip install kolo

2. Add "kolo.middleware.KoloMiddleware" to the top of your MIDDLEWARE list in settings.py

3. Start your Django server using python manage.py runserver and make a request to any page.

4. Browse to localhost:8000/_kolo/ to view your traced request. It should look similar to the screenshot at the top of the page 🚀
