How do you use Sentry?

Sentry Saas (sentry.io)

Version

2.18.0

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Have a view like
class StreamingView(APIView):

    def post(self, request, *args, **kwargs):

        span = sentry_sdk.start_span(name=f"Log: {record.msg}", op="log.info", sampled=False)
        print(span)
        span.set_data("value", record.msg)
        span.set_data("filename", f"{record.pathname} at line {record.lineno}")
        span.finish()

        generator_streaming = dummy_function.execute(parameters=parameters)
        
        return StreamingHttpResponse(generator_streaming, content_type='text/event-stream')

Here the span.trace_id will be for instance "1234"

  1. Inside the dummy_function
def execute():
        span = sentry_sdk.start_span(name=f"Log: {record.msg}", op="log.info", sampled=False)
        print(span)
        span.set_data("value", record.msg)
        span.set_data("filename", f"{record.pathname} at line {record.lineno}")
        span.finish()

In this function, the trace_id will be totally different.

I think that this is related the StreamingHttpResponse, because the Sentry is working fine for all my other views.

Feel free to ask more details to help in the investigation.

FROM python:3.9.18-slim-bullseye
Django==4.1
djangorestframework==3.14

I'm executing my server with python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000
In production we use something like gunicorn api.wsgi -b 0.0.0.0:8081

Expected Result

The trace_id should stay the same in StreamingHttpResponse views and underlying function calls.

Actual Result

The trace_id is different between the view and underlying function calls.

Do we have a way to set the trace_id?
Maybe an easy fix is to get the trace_id in the view level and pass as parameter to my function and do a transaction.set_trace_id(trace_id=trace_id).

But it seems that we don't have a set_trace_id thing at transaction/event level, right?

I know that we can do a Span(trace_id=myid), but passing this to ALL calls downstream is bad. 😅

Indeed!

I have now reproduced this with this demo application:
https://github.com/antonpirker/testing-sentry/blob/main/test-django-rest-framework-streaming/mysite/api/views.py

The first span "Streaming View" is present in the trace, but the second span "Stream Response Generator" is missing (because it has the wrong trace id)

This is a bug. I guess it has something to do with how Django handles streaming views and what we monkey patch in Django. Sentry is probably not patching the functions in Django that are handling the streaming responses.

hey @antonpirker - thanks for taking a look but I have a quick question: how do you prioritize those fixes?
This bug is creating a hole in the observability of one of my main endpoints :/

Just to understand if I will need to use another observability tool until you fix this.
I do have some bandwidth to work on this fix but not sure if I have enough context to work on it.

Hey! I will have some time today and tomorrow to look at this. I will keep you posted on the progress

I tested now with Uvicorn and Gunicorn.

Using Uvicorn (asgi) it works. The parent-child relationship is not correct, but at least the spans are there:

Using Gunicorn (wsgi) it does not work:

Small update: The problem is that StreamingHttpResponse() finishes right away and this leads to the transaction being closed promptly. The spans generated in the generator are outside of the transactions time span and thus not part of that trace and are lost.
