Rack
To instrument Rack applications AppSignal provides an instrumentation middleware which can be added to any Rack application.
To integrate AppSignal in a Rack application we first need to load, configure and start AppSignal.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 | require 'appsignal' # Load AppSignal Appsignal.config = Appsignal::Config.new( File.expand_path('../', __FILE__), # Application root path 'development', # Application environment :name => 'logbrowser' # Optional configuration hash ) Appsignal.start # Start the AppSignal integration Appsignal.start_logger # Start logger |
Lastly we need to add the instrumentation middleware to the application.
1 | use Appsignal::Rack::GenericInstrumentation |
By default all HTTP requests/actions are grouped under the 'unknown' group. You can override this for an action by setting the route in the request environment.
1 | env['appsignal.route'] = '/homepage' |
For better insights it's recommended to add additional instrumentation to the Rack application.
