# Using Sentry

Sentry is a widely used tool for real-time error tracking and performance monitoring. If you want to leverage Sentry in your application, follow these steps:

1. **Enable Sentry**: Set the `USE_SENTRY` variable to `True`.
2. **Configure DSN**: Set the `SENTRY_DSN` variable to the DSN provided by Sentry when you set up your account.

```python
USE_SENTRY = False  # Change to True to enable Sentry
SENTRY_DSN = None  # Set this to your Sentry DSN
```

With Sentry enabled, your application will send error reports and performance data to Sentry, allowing you to monitor your application more effectively.
