KoloMiddleware

✓ from kolo import KoloMiddleware

✗ from kolo.middleware import KoloMiddleware

Add KoloMiddleware to your Django MIDDLEWARE list to start capturing requests, queries, and more.

# 1. Install: pip install kolo # 2. Add to MIDDLEWARE in settings.py: MIDDLEWARE = [ 'kolo.middleware.KoloMiddleware', # ... other middleware ] # 3. Run your Django app, visit any page, and open Kolo UI at /kolo/ in your browser.

kolo --version

Debug

Known issues

deprecatedThe old style of import (import kolo) and direct usage of kolo functions (e.g., kolo.capture()) is deprecated. Use the middleware approach instead.

fix

Remove old kolo function calls and add 'kolo.middleware.KoloMiddleware' to MIDDLEWARE.

affects: <3.0

gotchaKolo only works with Django. Using it in non-Django projects (Flask, FastAPI) will not capture anything and may cause errors.

fix

Only use Kolo in Django projects. For Flask, consider alternatives like flask-debugtoolbar.

affects: all

gotchaKoloMiddleware must be placed early in the MIDDLEWARE list (before any middleware that might modify or short-circuit requests) to capture all request information.

fix

Place 'kolo.middleware.KoloMiddleware' as the first item in the MIDDLEWARE list.

affects: all
