## Sending exceptions to Sentry
[Sentry](https://www.getsentry.com/) is a popular exception gathering service
that RQ supports integrating with since version 0.3.1, through its custom
exception handlers.
RQ includes a convenience function that registers your existing Sentry client
to send all exceptions to.
An example:
{% highlight python %}
from raven import Client
from raven.transport.http import HTTPTransport
from rq.contrib.sentry import register_sentry
client = Client('<YOUR_DSN>', transport=HTTPTransport)
register_sentry(client, worker)
{% endhighlight %}
Where `worker` is your RQ worker instance. After that, call `worker.work(...)`
to start the worker. All exceptions that occur are reported to Sentry
automatically.
<div class="warning" style="margin-top: 20px">
<img style="float: right; margin-right: -60px; margin-top: -38px" src="{{site.baseurl}}img/warning.png" />
<strong>Note:</strong>
<p>
Error delivery to Sentry is known to be unreliable with RQ when using
async transports (the default is). So you are encouraged to use the
<code>HTTPTransport</code> or <code>RequestsHTTPTransport</code> when
creating your client. See the code sample above, or the <a
href="http://raven.readthedocs.org/en/latest/transports/index.html">Raven
documentation</a>.
