# Python Custom Instrumentation

## Configuration

**Custom Instrumentation** allows you to track classes and functions not natively supported in our Python Profiler. Include a `stackify.json` file in your application's root directory.

**Example:**

```
{
  "instrumentation": [
    {
      "class": "SampleClass1",
      "method": "execute",
      "module": "path.file"
    },
    {
      "class": "SampleClass2",
      "method": "index",
      "module": "path.file"
    }
  ]
}
```

**Custom Instrumentation** is supported in the **Stackify Python Profiler 1.1+** versions.

## Tracked Functions

**Tracked Functions** allows you track a specific method call across requests, data will show up in your application dashboard under the **Tracked Functions** tab.

**Example:**

```
{
  "instrumentation": [
    {
      "class": "SampleClass1",
      "method": "execute",
      "module": "path.file"
      "trackedFunction": true,
      "trackedFunctionName": "{{ClassName}}.{{MethodName}}"
    },
    {
      "class": "SampleClass2",
      "method": "index",
      "module": "path.file"
      "trackedFunction": true,
      "trackedFunctionName": "{{ClassName}}.{{MethodName}}"
    }
  ]
}
```
