Tartarus

It is a deep, gloomy place, a pit, or an abyss used as a dungeon of torment and suffering..

Tartarus provides logging to your database for exceptions triggered by the users of your Rails application. A generator is included that will give you a clean interface to view and manage the exceptions.

Dependencies

If you wish to use the generator to build the exception viewing/manging interface, the following dependencies are used:

• will_paginate
• jquery

Installation

1. Install the gem from:

     [sudo] gem install tartarus --source=http://gemcutter.org
   

2. Add the exceptional gem dependency to your enviroment.rb:

     config.gem "tartarus"
   

3. Run the generator from the root of your Rails application:

     script/generate tartarus
   

4. Run the migration that was generated:

     rake db:migrate
   

5. Add the javascript and stylesheet includes in your layout:

     <script type="text/javascript" src="/javascripts/tartarus.jquery.js"></script>
     <link href="/stylesheets/tartarus.css" media="all" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
