Module: RailsRemoteControl

Defined in:
lib/rails_remote_control.rb

Overview

RailsRemoteControl allows you to monitor individual Rails processes and adjust the log level of a process for debugging purposes. (For example, to turn on partial rendering times for a single process.)

Installation

First, start a RailsRemoteControl::Server when your Rails process starts up by adding these two lines to config/environment.rb:

require 'rails_remote_control/server'
RailsRemoteControl::Server.run 'my_rails_app'

Next, add include RailsRemoteControl::Process in Application controller:

require 'rails_remote_control/process'

class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base

  include RailsRemoteControl::Process

  # ...

end

Usage

Then start up a RingServer where you want to monitor and control your remote processes:

$ ring_server -d

You can start the RingServer up before or after the Rails app. The rails processes will automatically connect soon after it starts.

Then start up the RailsRemoteControl::HTTPServer so you can control your processes:

$ rails_remote_control -d

Then connect with your web browser to port 8000 on that machine.

It Doesn’t Work

  • Do you have forward and reverse DNS set up for all your machines?

    $ host `hostname`
ziz.jijo.segment7.net has address 10.101.28.1
$ host 10.101.28.1
1.28.101.10.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer ziz.jijo.segment7.net.

    Both forward and reverse addresses need to match here.

  • Have you disabled IPv6 or set up RDNS for your IPv6 hosts?
