Which steps are required to collect errors from a Rails app running on GKE?
I have added the stackdriver gem to my Rails app and I have created a custom role with the errorreporting.errorEvents.create
permission.
That role is given to the Compute Engine default service account
I interpret the docs that one does not have to do the following setup when running on GKE:
# Add this to config/environments/*.rb
Rails.application.configure do |config|
# Stackdriver Error Reporting specific parameters
config.google_cloud.error_reporting.project_id = "YOUR-PROJECT-ID"
config.google_cloud.error_reporting.keyfile = "/path/to/service-account.json"
end
I manually created an exception
That gave me valuable information:
irb(main):001:0> Google::Cloud::ErrorReporting.report Exception.new(msg: "from console")
=> nil
irb(main):002:0> {:msg=>"from console"} (Exception)
Google::Cloud::PermissionDeniedError: 7:Stackdriver Error Reporting API has not been used in project NNNNN before or it is disabled. Enable it by visiting https://console.developers.google.com/apis/api/clouderrorreporting.googleapis.com/overview?project=NNNN then retry. If you enabled this API recently, wait a few minutes for the action to propagate to our systems and retry.
After enabling the API, then I get this error:
irb(main):004:0> {:msg=>"from console"} (Exception)
Google::Cloud::PermissionDeniedError: 7:User not authorized.
So, which permission do I have to give to which user to make this work? :-|
