Gulag – A prison camp for application errors

Gulag is a log server for application errors. Gulag has a REST API.

How does it work?

Let me demonstrate:

Application error -> Gulag REST API (HTTP/HTTPs) -> Gulag data store (Tokyo Tyrant)

gulag-logger is a Rails plugin which captures errors such as exceptions and slow database queries/request and sends details about the event to Gulag.

You, the administrator, can login to the dashboard to view and delete errors:

Administrator -> Gulag dashboard -> Gulag data store (Tokyo Tyrant)

Why write something like this?

To experiment with Tokyo Cabinet and Sinatra.

What about Hoptoad and GetExceptional

Yeah, I know.

Status

Beta software. Works fine until you break it.

TODO

- More tests
- Review design
