Set up PostHog analytics in Django by initializing PostHog in AppConfig with environment variables, adding PosthogContextMiddleware to MIDDLEWARE, and configuring POSTHOG_PROJECT_TOKEN and POSTHOG_HOST in settings for reliable server-side event capture.

Django middleware tracks user context via PosthogContextMiddleware, which automatically attaches session and user context to server-side analytics events, ensuring accurate user identification without modifying business logic.

Track Django login and dashboard events server-side with PostHog by capturing context-aware events during key workflows, identifying users on login and logout, and tagging properties for product analytics.

PostHog Django integration supports feature flags, group analytics, and error tracking, enabling product decisions and reliability monitoring by capturing error scenarios alongside standard event data.

Separate user identifiable data from event properties in Django by enforcing proper data separation during PostHog event capture, keeping identifiable user information distinct from general event context.

Environment variables are required to configure PostHog in Django settings, enforcing environment-based configuration for POSTHOG_PROJECT_TOKEN and POSTHOG_HOST to ensure consistent access across modules.
