The following frameworks are supported using our new wrapper script for no-code-changes instrumentation:
- Django
- Flask
- Starlette
Please keep in mind that these instrumentations are a work in progress! We’d love to have feedback on our issue tracker.
When installing the agent, an entrypoint script, elasticapm-run is installed as well. You can use this script to instrument your app (assuming it’s using a supported framework) without changing your code!
$ elasticapm-run --version
elasticapm-run 6.14.0
Alternatively, you can run the entrypoint directly:
$ python -m elasticapm.instrumentation.wrapper --version
elasticapm-run 6.14.0
The elasticapm-run script can be used to run any Python script or module:
$ elasticapm-run flask run
$ elasticapm-run python myapp.py
Generally, config should be passed in via environment variables. For example,
$ ELASTIC_APM_SERVICE_NAME=my_flask_app elasticapm-run flask run
You can also pass config options as arguments to the script:
$ elasticapm-run --config "service_name=my_flask_app" --config "debug=true" flask run
