ss / exception_reporter

ExceptionHandler
================

This plugin saves exception logs on a filesystem.  Later, a rake task
can be run to summarize the logs for a given day and email them to the
admins.

This plugin is loosely derived from the excepiton_notification plugin.


Example
=======

  # app/controller/application.rb

  class Application
    saves_exceptions
      # use this host name in the error dump
      :hostname => 'web_server',

      # save exceptions under an NFS-mounted common directory in /mnt/exceptions
      :exceptions_dir => '/mnt/exceptions',

      # These excepitons won't be saved
      :except => ['ActiveRecord::RecordNotFound', 'ActionController::RoutingError'],

      # use this block to determine if we should log the error
      :log_when => lambda {|ex| not (ex.is_a?(ActiveRecord::RecordNotFound) and request_is_from_search_engine?)}
  end


Add the following cron entry to email reports:

  0 0 * * * cd $RAILS_ROOT ; rake generate_exception_report mail_to=admin@my_domain.com
