Python Agent API Guide

The Python Agent APIs:

  • Let you programmatically define custom business transactions that would not automatically be detected by the agent.
  • Let you create custom exit calls to discover and monitor backends and that are not automatically detected by the agent.

If your instrumented application starts up and you do not see all the business transactions or backends that you expect to see, first check Python Supported Environments to see if your framework or exit point is supported. If not, you can use the APIs to instrument your code manually.
