Class Method Details

.async_record(message, time = nil) ⇒ Object

This method behaves the same as record, but uses resque to send the message.

# File 'lib/loggly.rb', line 73

def self.async_record(message, time=nil)

  begin
    Resque.enqueue(LogglyResque, self.name, message, time)
  rescue => e
    puts e
    puts "There was an error cueing loggly"
  end
end

.record(message, time = nil) ⇒ Object

Public This method sends a message to the Loggly API.

BEAWARE: That Loggle.new is an abstract class and lacks the token to authenticate with loggly. You should subclass loggly and add a method named token that returns a string with the appropiate token. SEE the method token on this class to know more about it

EXAMPLES USAGE: Let’s say you have a class named TicketLoggly that subclasses Loggly.

TicketLoggly.record(“This works”)

You can also send a timestamp. For example:

TicketLoggly.record(“With a Timestamp”, Time.now)

Or you can get creative like:

TicketLoggly.record(Event.last.attributes.to_json ,Time.now )

end

.send_to_loggly(message, time = nil) ⇒ Object

Private

We use this method internally to send messages to loggly.
It is used by the Resque worker and by the record method.

def self.token
  # Add the token in the subclasses.
  # This method must return a string
  # The idea is to have a subclass for each of the inputs that we create in loggly
  # URL to get the token from: https://venuedriver.loggly.com/inputs
end

.url ⇒ Object

Contructing a full URL. It has the endpoint + the token we generate at: venuedriver.loggly.com/inputs
