Many of the tasks in it are cobbled together from a number of other sources. I’d credit them, if I hadn’t long since forgotten who wrote ‘em. If it’s you, just email me and I’ll do so.
Unique to this release are some log watching recipes:
-
log - unified log tailer, unfiltered
-
log:short - unified log tailer, filtered for just Processing: lines and errors (incl. backtrace)
-
log:google - assuming you use Google Analytics style parameters to track incoming hits (or intra-site hits too), shows you the combinations of campaign, source, medium, the number of hits for each, and the last content type
-
log:google_subtotals - rolls up the hits for each campaign, source, medium, & content (rather than every combination)
-
log:smart - live log scraper; shows live and aggregate hits, unique IPs, load times, etc by URL hit. It aggregates errors, too - showing just the application-internal backtrace (stripping framework backtracing)
I use log:smart in production to give me a constant heartbeat of the app (what’s being used, what methods are running too slowly, any errors that have been happening, overall site load, etc). It’s particularly useful during a deployment, so you can make sure everything goes smoothly - or instantly and easily see what went wrong without slogging through a large log file.
Try it out and enjoy.
script/plugin install git://github.com/saizai/superdeploy.git cap -T # See all you can do cap log:smart # use the fancy live hits/errors/loadtimes watcher
Send me a pull request and I’ll merge ‘em in!
I’d like this to be a nice one-stop library of cool toys that make a Capistrano user’s life easier.
-
the hits/min exponential moving average has something wrong with it. Never got around to fixing.
-
log:smart is not very routing-savvy. If you use something other than simple URLs, it’s likely to get confused.
-
all log methods miss some hits. This is because underlyingly, Capistrano breaks stuff up arbitrarily (by size), rather than by paragraph of log. This could be fixed by writing a wrapper that acts as a buffer and stitches the log back together again. I never found it worth the bother. If you do, please feel free to commit a fix.
