ExceptionHandler

This plugin saves exception logs on a filesystem. Later, a rake task can be run to summarize the logs for a given day and email them to the admins.

This plugin is loosely derived from the excepiton_notification plugin.

Example

app/controller/application.rb

class Application saves_exceptions # use this host name in the error dump :hostname => 'web_server',

  # save exceptions under an NFS-mounted common directory in /mnt/exceptions
  :exceptions_dir => '/mnt/exceptions',

  # These excepitons won't be saved
  :except => ['ActiveRecord::RecordNotFound', 'ActionController::RoutingError'],

  # use this block to determine if we should log the error
  :log_when => lambda {|ex| not (ex.is_a?(ActiveRecord::RecordNotFound) and request_is_from_search_engine?)}

end

Add the following cron entry to email reports:

0 0 * * * cd $RAILS_ROOT ; rake generate_exception_report mail_to=admin@my_domain.com
