Issue
I want to know why my project has an issue titled This is an example Python exception, including when the project is not a Python project.
Applies To
All SaaS Customers
Symptoms
Example Python exception appears in a non-Python project
Resolution
That event is created intentionally from the Sentry UI. It’s a sample used to demonstrate Issues / event details or to test a webhook. It didn’t come from your application code.
On a new Python project with an empty Issues stream, it can appear when you choose Create a sample event. It can also show up when testing a Webhook / legacy webhook integration, which can create this title in any project type.
You can resolve, archive, or delete the issue. It doesn’t mean your production app threw that exception.
