Better view names for DRF/Tastpie transactions

[roncohen]

Django Rest Framework ViewSets will show up as a single transaction even though a ViewSet might have different methods that provide different functionality.

FYI there is a workaround here: https://gist.github.com/piquadrat/b494bd4b368ea4095dad3b629333ae58

@santiagomalter the link is now broken, do you have any other info on the workaround? We are facing the same issue

@jalvz Thanks! I ended up creating a more generic solution:

class OpbeatViewNameMiddleware(object):
    def __init__(self, get_response):
        self.get_response = get_response

    def __call__(self, request):
        return self.get_response(request)

    def process_view(self, request, view_func, view_args, view_kwargs):
        if (
            hasattr(request, '_opbeat_view_func') and
            hasattr(request, 'resolver_match')
        ):
            if hasattr(view_func, '__name__'):
                view_name = view_func.__name__
            else:
                view_name = view_func.__class__.__name__

            url_name = request.resolver_match.url_name

            if url_name:
                request._opbeat_transaction_name = '%s %s' % (view_name, request.resolver_match.url_name)
            else:
                request._opbeat_transaction_name = view_name
