Raygun 4 Ruby

This is the Ruby adapter for the Raygun error reporter, http://raygun.io.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'raygun4ruby'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install raygun4ruby

Usage

Rails 3/4

Run:

rails g raygun:install YOUR_API_KEY_HERE

You can find your API key on your Raygun Dashboard

You can then test your Raygun integration by running:

rake raygun:test

You should see an "ItWorksException" appear in your Raygun dashboard. You're ready to zap those errors!

NB: Raygun4Ruby currently requires Ruby >= 1.9

Note that the generator will create a file in config/initializers called "raygun.rb". If you need to do any further configuration or customization of Raygun, that's the place to do it!

By default the Rails integration is set to only report Exceptions in Production. To change this behaviour, set config.enable_reporting to something else in config/initializers/raygun.rb.

Rails 2

Raygun4Ruby doesn't currently support Rails 2. If you'd like Rails 2 support, drop us a line.

Sinatra

To enable exception tracking in Sinatra, just add configure Raygun and use the Rack middleware in your app:

require 'raygun4ruby'
Raygun.setup do |config|
  config.api_key = "YOUR_API_KEY_HERE"
end
use Raygun::Middleware::RackExceptionInterceptor

Standalone / Manual Exception Tracking

require 'rubygems'
require 'raygun4ruby'

Raygun.setup do |config|
  config.api_key = "YOUR_RAYGUN_API_KEY"
  config.filter_parameters = [ :password, :card_number, :cvv ] # don't forget to filter out sensitive parameters
  config.enable_reporting = Rails.env.production? # true to send errors, false to not log
end

begin
  # your lovely code here
rescue Exception => e
  Raygun.track_exception(e)
end

You can also pass a Hash as the second parameter to track_exception. It should look like a Rack Env Hash

Customizing The Parameter Filtering

If you'd like to customize how parameters are filtered, you can pass a Proc to filter_parameters. Raygun4Ruby will yield the params hash to the block, and the return value will be sent along with your error.

Raygun.setup do |config|
  config.api_key = "YOUR_RAYGUN_API_KEY"
  config.filter_parameters do |params|
    params.slice("only", "a", "few", "keys") # note that Hash#slice is in ActiveSupport
  end
end

Custom User Data

Custom data can be added to track_exception by passing a custom_data key in the second parameter hash.

begin
  # more lovely code
rescue Exception => e
  Raygun.track_exception(e, custom_data: {my: 'custom data', goes: 'here'})
end

Ignoring Some Errors

You can ignore certain types of Exception using the ignore option in the setup block, like so:

Raygun.setup do |config|
  config.api_key = "MY_SWEET_API_KEY"
  config.ignore  << ['MyApp::AnExceptionIDontCareAbout']
end

You can also check which exceptions are ignored by default and unignore them if needed by doing the following:

Raygun.setup do |config|
  config.api_key = "MY_SWEET_API_KEY"
  config.ignore.delete('ActionController::InvalidAuthenticityToken')
end

Using a Proxy

You can pass proxy settings using the proxy_settings config option.

Raygun.setup do |config|
  config.api_key = "MY_SWEET_API_KEY"
  config.proxy_settings = { host: "localhost", port: 8888 }
end

Affected User Tracking

Raygun can now track how many users have been affected by an error.

By default, Raygun looks for a method called current_user on your controller, and calls either email, username or id on the object returned by that method.

You can customize those method names in your configuration block:

Raygun.setup do |config|
  config.api_key = "MY_SWEET_API_KEY"
  config.affected_user_method = :my_current_user # `current_user` by default
  config.affected_user_identifier_methods << :login # `[ :email, :username, :id ]` by default - will use the first that works
end

If you're using Rails, most authentication systems will have this method set and you should be good to go.

The count of unique affected users will appear on the error group in the Raygun dashboard. If your user has an email method, and that email has a Gravatars associated, you will also see your user's avatar.

If you wish to keep it anonymous, you could set this identifier to something like SecureRandom.uuid and store that in a cookie, like so:

class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base

  def raygun_user
    cookies.permanent[:raygun_user_identifier] ||= SecureRandom.uuid
  end

end

(Remember to set affected_user_method to :raygun_user in your config block...)

Version tracking

Raygun can attach the version of your application to its error reports. In your Raygun.setup block, set version to the current version of your app.

Raygun.setup do |config|
  config.version = "1.0.0.4" # you could also pull this from ENV or however you want to set it.
end

Resque Error Tracking

Raygun4Ruby also includes a Resque failure backend. You should include it inside your Resque initializer (usually something like config/initializers/load_resque.rb)

require 'resque/failure/multiple'
require 'resque/failure/raygun'
require 'resque/failure/redis'

Resque::Failure::Multiple.classes = [Resque::Failure::Redis, Resque::Failure::Raygun]
Resque::Failure.backend = Resque::Failure::Multiple

Sidekiq Error Tracking

Raygun4Ruby can track errors from Sidekiq (2.x or 3+). All you need to do is add the line:

  require 'raygun/sidekiq'

Either in your Raygun initializer or wherever else takes your fancy :)
