Configuration

smello.init() accepts these parameters:

smello.init(
    server_url="http://localhost:5110",       # where to send captured data
    capture_hosts=["api.stripe.com"],         # only capture these hosts
    capture_all=True,                          # capture everything (default)
    ignore_hosts=["localhost"],               # skip these hosts
    redact_headers=["Authorization"],         # replace values with [REDACTED]
    enabled=True,                              # kill switch
)

Parameters

server_url

URL of the Smello server. Default: http://localhost:5110.

capture_hosts

List of hostnames to capture. When set, Smello only captures requests to these hosts and ignores everything else.

capture_all

Capture requests to all hosts. Default: True. Set to False when using capture_hosts.

ignore_hosts

List of hostnames to skip. Smello always ignores the server's own hostname to prevent recursion.

redact_headers

Header names whose values are replaced with [REDACTED]. Default: ["Authorization", "X-Api-Key"].

enabled

Master switch. Set to False to disable all capturing. Default: True.
