errbit 1.1.0

An errbit client 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_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.

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.

Development / tests

Install the package and run the tests using buildout:

git clone [e-mail]: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
