658118 - Fix arecibo

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Input :: General, defect)

Description

[Dave Dash [:davedash, :dd] (assign all bugs to mbrandt)]

Arecibo (http://amckay-arecibo.khan.mozilla.org/) should in theory be working, but it's not.  So let's figure out why.

Arecibo collects tracebacks anytime we serve the 500 page - once the pipes are laid and this is working we'll get some huge benefits:

* QA/Dev can ignore their traceback emails
* QA/Dev can look at arecibo and make sure that we're not getting errors.

Arecibo will group issues together, so we don't get 800 emails, we just get a single issue, that says "this happened 800" times.


For some reason the post hook isn't working... it's probably simple, but we figure running locally will help.

You;ll need to set DEBUG=False, and be on VPN and set your arecibo endpoint to:

http://amckay-arecibo.khan.mozilla.org/

You'll need to work with Andy McKay to figure out what other things you mgiht need to set.

I hope I didn't just take all the spice out of this bug by fixing this typo:

Anyhow, this should help.

Over to Dave Dash who mentioned he'd investigate further.

Posting to arecibo on khan works on my newly minted local reporter instance when setting celery to always eager and VPN'd in.

ftr, needed to add (which davedash has done):

https://github.com/andymckay/zamboni/blob/master/settings.py#L753

And input doesn't always bubble up to the 500 handler, for example:

https://github.com/fwenzel/reporter/tree/master/apps/search/views.py#L190

You could add an arecibo post in there, or let it bubble and alter the 500 error page that is returned.

I think arecibo is working fine in input now, I see them coming through anyway.
