Library for logging errors and ActiveRecord object changes to Tracer.

Tracer is a web application for accumulating, showing and analyzing of a vital application information.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'tracer_client'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install tracer_client

Usage

Methods for debugging:

Log.debug('Debug message') # log simple message
Log.debug({a: 2, b: 5})    # log hash values
Log.debug(any_object)      # log any object

Log some info with severity level. Each method requires message text and log tags and accepts optional data.

Log.info('Order created', 'order create', id: id)
Log.warn('Order shipping too long!', 'order shipping', id: id)
Log.error('Order was not paid', 'order payment', id: id)

Log catched exception

begin
    raise 'Some exception'
rescue => e
    Log.exception(e, 'Unable to send request', 'request', request_data: data)
end

To cancel sending log messages in production mode you should use the environment variable NO_TRACER with a truthy value (true, TRUE, 1, etc).

ENV['NO_TRACER'] - true

In a development mode sending messages is disabled by default. Sending messages can be re-enabled using a TRACER environment variable with a truthy value.

ENV['TRACER'] - true
