Preparing Django app

1. python3 manage.py migrate
2. python3 manage.py collectstatic
3. python3 manage.py createsuperuser

Running with HyperDX

• Create a virtual environment and activate it

python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate

• Install requirements

pip install -r requirements.txt

• Install instrumentation packages

opentelemetry-bootstrap --action=install

To run with gunicorn you need to add post_fork hook

1. Add a file gunicorn.config.py as given in this repo
2. Specify that config file when running gunicorn as in below run command

DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE=mysite.settings OTEL_SERVICE_NAME=mysite HYPERDX_API_KEY=<YOUR_KEY> opentelemetry-instrument gunicorn mysite.wsgi -c gunicorn.config.py --workers 2 --threads 2

specifying DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE is necessary for opentelemetry instrumentation to work

Browsing the app and checking at HyperDX

1. Visit http://localhost:8000/admin and create a question for poll
2. Then visit the list of polls at http://localhost:8000/polls/ and explore the polls
