New Website “Is It Really FOSS?” Tracks Transparency in Open Source Distribution Models
A new site reviews software projects to reveal if they’re truly FOSS, making complex licensing and distribution models easy to understand.
Gabrake is a gem built on top of Google Analytics API and provides realtime server-side and client-side error tracking by using custom events. It uses a flexibility of Google Analytics API and handles server-side error server-side, without exposing any of your error messages or backtrace on client.
Let's have a look.
JavaScript Tracking by messages
Overview by error message and location
Overview by error message and browser
Inspired by garelic — gem that tracks app performace by Google Analytics User Timing variables.
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'gabrake'
And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install gabrake
Create an initializer config/initializers/gabrake.rb
and add
Gabrake.tracking_id = 'YOUR GA TRACKING ID'
In your javascript do
#= require gabrake/analytics # if you haven't required analytics tracking code somewhere else
#= require gabrake
Note: This library uses new analytics.js code – Universal Google Analytics. If you still have the old _gaq
library and you use it (for tracking events and stuff), you have to create a new property (get second tracking ID and use that one for Gabrake).
Go to Google Analytics page, hit Real Time > Events and track 'em.
Pro Tip: Gabrake errors have two categories – Gabrake (Rails) and Gabrake (JavaScript). Click on one of the category to filter out events and see error message (action) along with error backtrace location (label).
Wait couple minutes.
Important: Make sure that the overview date includes TODAY! You'll save yourself a headache.
If you want to compare errors by app versions, you need create a custom dimension.
Gabrake.custom_dimension_index = YOUR_INDEX
