Issue

Is there a way to filter out specific error messages using Django Logging? eg UncompressableFileError

Would like to stop these errors being sent to Sentry.io

Solution

You can set a Filter on the Sentry handler which checks for the type of errors you want to filter out, and return False to drop them. Roughly:

def sentry_filter(record):
    return 'UncompressableFileError' not in record.getMessage()

and then

sentry_handler.addFilter(sentry_filter)

This might need to be tweaked depending on where the string occurs - e.g. in message or traceback
