Filtering Events

You can filter out or customize events sent to Honeybadger Insights by using the before_event configuration parameter.

python

  

from honeybadger import honeybadger

def filter_event(event):
    # Skip health check requests
    if event.get('path') == '/health':
        return False

    # Redact sensitive data from custom events
    if event.get('event_type') == 'user.signup' and 'email' in event:
        event['email'] = '[REDACTED]'

    return event

honeybadger.configure(before_event=filter_event)

This function will be called for every event before it is sent to Honeybadger.
