Extracting exception info

Here are some examples of information you might want to extract. Feel free to extend this page.

If you are going to store a lot of parameters, you may want to consider using ActiveRecord serialization to store some of the information in the same database field. Serialization example.

# Check out ActionDispatch::Request and Rack::Request for more options
  config.store_request_info do |storage,request|
  storage[:target_url]  = request.url
  storage[:http_method] = request.request_method
  storage[:params]      = request.params.inspect
  storage[:referer_url] = request.referer
  storage[:remote_ip]   = request.remote_ip
  storage[:user_agent]  = request.user_agent
end

config.store_exception_info do |storage,exeception|
  storage[:class_name] = exception.class.to_s
  storage[:message]    = exception.to_s
  storage[:trace]      = exception.backtrace.join("\n")
end

config.store_environment_info do |storage,env|
  storage[:gateway_interface] = env["GATEWAY_INTERFACE"]
  # Here is just a small part of what is available in the environment hash:
  #env["PATH_INFO"]
  #env["QUERY_STRING"]
  #env["REMOTE_ADDR"]
  #env["REMOTE_HOST"]
  #env["REQUEST_METHOD"]
  #env["REQUEST_URI"]
  #env["SCRIPT_NAME"]
  #env["SERVER_NAME"]
  #env["SERVER_PORT"]
  #env["SERVER_PROTOCOL"]
  #env["SERVER_SOFTWARE"]
  #env["HTTP_HOST"]
  #env["HTTP_CONNECTION"]
  #env["HTTP_USER_AGENT"]
  #env["HTTP_ACCEPT"]
  #env["HTTP_ACCEPT_ENCODING"]
  #env["HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE"]
  #env["HTTP_ACCEPT_CHARSET"]
  #env["HTTP_COOKIE"]
end

config.store_global_info do |storage|
  # This method doesnt provide anything that the other methods doesnt.
  # It is just there to help you keep the storage configuration tidy.
  storage[:app_name]   = Rails.application.class.parent_name
  storage[:created_at] = Time.zone.now
end
