## Configure

Add `AsyncioIntegration()` to your list of `integrations`, enable tracing and be sure to call `sentry_sdk.init()` at the beginning of your async loop:
Add `AsyncioIntegration()` to your list of `integrations`, enable tracing and be sure to call `sentry_sdk.init()` **at the beginning of the first `async` function you call**, as shown in the example below.

<Alert level="warning">

In addition to capturing errors, you can monitor interactions between multiple services or applications by [enabling tracing](/concepts/key-terms/tracing/). You can also collect and analyze performance profiles from real users with [profiling](/product/explore/profiling/).
If you call `sentry_sdk.init()` outside of an `async` function in an async application, the SDK will not behave as expected.

Select which Sentry features you'd like to install in addition to Error Monitoring to get the corresponding installation and configuration instructions below.
