._start_logger ⇒ void

This method is part of a private API. You should avoid using this method if possible, as it may be removed or be changed in the future.

This method returns an undefined value.

Start the AppSignal internal logger.

Sets the log level and sets the logger. Uses a file-based logger or the STDOUT-based logger. See the ‘:log` configuration option.

.active? ⇒ Boolean

Returns the active state of the AppSignal integration.

Conditions apply for AppSignal to be marked as active:

This logic is used within instrument helper such as instrument so it’s not necessary to wrap instrument calls with this method.

Examples:

Do this

Appsignal.instrument(..) do
  # Do this
end

Don’t do this

if Appsignal.active?
  Appsignal.instrument(..) do
    # Don't do this
  end
end

Returns:

  • (Boolean)

Since:

  • 0.2.7

def active?

end

.configure(env_param = nil, root_path: nil) {|Config| ... } ⇒ void

This method returns an undefined value.

Configure the AppSignal Ruby gem using a DSL.

Pass a block to the configure method to configure the Ruby gem.

Each config option defined in our docs can be fetched, set and modified via a helper method in the given block.

After AppSignal has started using start, the configuration can not be modified. Any calls to this helper will be ignored.

This helper should not be used to configure multiple environments, like done in the YAML file. Configure the environment you want active when the application starts.

Examples:

Configure AppSignal for the application

Appsignal.configure do |config|
  config.path = "/the/app/path"
  config.active = ENV["APP_ACTIVE"] == "true"
  config.push_api_key = File.read("appsignal_key.txt").chomp
  config.ignore_actions = ENDPOINTS.select { |e| e.public? }.map(&:name)
  config.request_headers << "MY_CUSTOM_HEADER"
end

Configure AppSignal for the application and select the environment

Appsignal.configure(:production) do |config|
  config.active = true
end

Automatically detects the app environment

# Tries to determine the app environment automatically from the
# environment and the libraries it integrates with.
ENV["RACK_ENV"] = "production"

Appsignal.configure do |config|
  config.env # => "production"
end

Calling configure multiple times for different environments resets the configuration

Appsignal.configure(:development) do |config|
  config.ignore_actions = ["My action"]
end

Appsignal.configure(:production) do |config|
  config.ignore_actions # => []
end

Load config without a block

# This will require either ENV vars being set
# or the config/appsignal.yml being present
Appsignal.configure
# Or for the environment given as an argument
Appsignal.configure(:production)

Parameters:

  • env_param (String, Symbol) (defaults to: nil) —

    The environment to load.

  • root_path (String) (defaults to: nil) —

    The path to look the ‘config/appsignal.yml` config file in. Defaults to the current working directory.

Yields:

.load(integration_name) ⇒ void

This method returns an undefined value.

Load an AppSignal integration.

Load one of the supported integrations via our loader system. This will set config defaults and integratie with the library if AppSignal is active upon start.

Examples:

Load Sinatra integrations

# First load the integration
Appsignal.load(:sinatra)
# Start AppSignal
Appsignal.start

Load Sinatra integrations and define custom config

# First load the integration
Appsignal.load(:sinatra)

# Customize config
Appsignal.configure do |config|
  config.ignore_actions = ["GET /ping"]
end

# Start AppSignal
Appsignal.start

Parameters:

  end
end

.start ⇒ void

This method returns an undefined value.

Start the AppSignal integration.

Starts AppSignal with the given configuration. If no configuration is set yet it will try to automatically load the configuration using the environment loaded from environment variables and the currently working directory.

This is not required for the automatic integrations AppSignal offers, but this is required for all non-automatic integrations and pure Ruby applications. For more information, see our [integrations list](docs.appsignal.com/ruby/integrations/) and our [Integrating AppSignal](docs.appsignal.com/ruby/instrumentation/integrating-appsignal.html) guide.

Examples:

Appsignal.start

with custom loaded configuration

Appsignal.configure(:production) do |config|
  config.ignore_actions = ["My action"]
end
Appsignal.start
