errbit for python

An errbit client for python.

Installation

Add errbit to your package dependencies in setup.py or requirements.txt.

Configuration

Configure errbit with environment variables:

• ERRBIT_URL - the post-url to your errbit installation.
• ERRBIT_APP_ID - your errbit app id (see URL when visiting the app).
• ERRBIT_API_KEY - your errbit API key.
• ERRBIT_PACKAGE - the setuptools name of your package.
• ERRBIT_ENVIRONMENT - the name of the environment you are running, such as staging or production.
• ERRBIT_HTTP_CLIENT - Switch the http client implementation. Switching the implementation can solve different problems when communicating from private networks with HTTP proxies. Current implementations are: requests, urllib, urllib2.
• ERRBIT_IGNORE - path to ignore file (default: ~/.errbit/errbit_ignore.json)

Ignore file

The thrown exception will be ignored and not passed to errbit if its message matches one of the regex in exception_msg.

{
    "exception_msg": [
        "^AttributeError\\b",
        "regex2"
    ]
}

Usage

The errbit package ships with the core notification implementation for errbit and integrations for some frameworks.

Manually posting exceptions

Use the errbit client to post exceptions to an errbit installation:

from errbit.client import Client
import sys

client = Client()
try:
    do_something()
except:
    exc_info = sys.exc_info()

    request = {
        'url': 'http://my.app/app/folders/create',
        'component': 'folders',
        'action': 'create',
        'params': {
            'title': 'My Folder'},
        'session': {
            'cookie': 'session_id=123345'},
        'cgi-data': {
            'HTTP_X_FORWARDED_HOST': 'my.app'}}

    client.post(exc_info, request=request)

Plone

Plone integration is automatically done with a logging handler, nothing needs to be done for enabling it beside configuring the environment variables.

For testing the connection you can call the view errbit-make-error as Manager.

Report JavaScript errors in Plone

In order to report JavaScript errors, install the Generic Setup profile profile-errbit.ploneintegration:default, which registers the necessary JavaScript resources.

For JavaScript reporting the ERRBIT_APP_ID environment variable needs to be set.

Test the configuration: if http://localhost:8080/Plone/errbit-plone.js is empty not all enviornment variables are configured.

Development / tests

Install the package and run the tests using buildout:

git clone git@github.com:4teamwork/errbit-python.git
cd errbit-python
ln -s test-plone-4.3.x.cfg buildout.cfg
python2.7 bootstrap.py
bin/buildout
bin/test
