rageshake Build Status

Web service which collects and serves bug reports.

rageshake requires Go version 1.7 or later.

To run it, do:

go get github.com/constabulary/gb/...
gb build
./bin/rageshake

Optional parameters:

  • -config <path>: The path to a YAML config file; see rageshake.sample.yaml for more information.
  • -listen <address>: TCP network address to listen for HTTP requests on. Example: :9110.

HTTP endpoints

The following HTTP endpoints are exposed:

GET /api/listing/

Serves submitted bug reports. Protected by basic HTTP auth using the username/password provided in the environment. A browsable list, collated by report submission date and time.

POST /api/submit

Submission endpoint: this is where applications should send their reports.

The body of the request should be a multipart form-data submission, with the following form field names. (For backwards compatibility, it can also be a JSON object, but multipart is preferred as it allows more efficient transfer of the logs.)

  • text: A textual description of the problem. Included in the details.log.gz file.

  • user_agent: Application user-agent. Included in the details.log.gz file.

  • app: Identifier for the application (eg 'riot-web'). Should correspond to a mapping configured in the configuration file for github issue reporting to work.

  • version: Application version. Included in the details.log.gz file.

  • log: a log file, with lines separated by newline characters. Multiple log files can be included by including several log parts.

    If using the JSON upload encoding, the request object should instead include a single logs field, which is an array of objects with the following fields:

    • id: textual identifier for the logs. Currently ignored.
    • lines: log data. Newlines should be encoded as \n, as normal in JSON).
  • compressed-log: a gzipped logfile. Decompressed and then treated the same as log.

    Compressed logs are not supported for the JSON upload encoding.

  • Any other form field names are interpreted as arbitrary name/value strings to include in the details.log.gz file.

    If using the JSON upload encoding, this additional metadata should insted be encoded as a data field, whose value should be a JSON map. (Note that the values must be strings; numbers, objects and arrays will be rejected.)

The response (if successful) will be a JSON object with the following fields:

  • report_url: A URL where the user can track their bug report. Omitted if issue submission was disabled.
