Wattle is a self-hosted open source project to help your team collect, manage and process your Exceptions, or as we like to call them, Wats

Server Configuration¶ ↑

General application configuration¶ ↑

There are 2 ways of configuring wattle. You can either edit the config/secrets.yml file or set environment variables. Configurations names given in all caps are environment variables. *Do not check secrets.yml into the repository.*

Configuring email¶ ↑

You must specify the following config parameters

SMTP_HOST (or DOKKU_HOST): Specifies the SMTP host to use when trying to deliver email.  defaults to localhost
SMTP_PORT: Specifies to the port to use when connecting to the SMTP_HOST.  defaults to 25.
MAILER_FROM (mailer => :from in secrets.yml): This specifies what the 'from' field of all emails from wattle should contain.
DEFAULT_URL_OPTIONS_HOST (default_url_options => :host in secrets.yml): This specifies what the host of links pointing back to your wattle deploy generated in emails should be.
DEFAULT_URL_OPTIONS_PORT (default_url_options => :port in secrets.yml): This specifies what port to use in your urls.  Unless you're using a non-standard port there is no need to set this

Puma¶ ↑

Wattle uses Puma as it’s webserver. For the most part this is just ready to go, but there is some configuration you can do

PUMA_WORKERS: Number of child puma processes to spawn
MIN_THREADS: Puma dynamically creates/destroys threads for request handling.  What is the minimum number of those you want
MAX_THREADS: Don't make more than these many threads
PORT: Listen for incoming connections on this port
RACK_ENV: what environment are we running in?

Configuring the wat_catcher¶ ↑

Wattle uses wattle to report errors! Configure the wat_catcher as you would in your app:

WATTLE_HOST ('host' in config/wat_catcher.yml): The host that errors should be posted to

To enable Google+ Oauth¶ ↑

You will need to acquire a Google API key to run your local instance. You can get one here: code.google.com/apis/console/b/0/?pli=1

Create a file in config/secrets.yml, with your Google API key:

development:
  google_key: YOUR_GOOGLE_KEY
  google_secret: YOUR_GOOGLE_SECRET

Or set the environment variables:

GOOGLE_KEY=YOUR_GOOGLE_KEY
GOOGLE_SECRET=YOUR_GOOGLE_SECRET

To limit emails to be from a particular domain (like, say, your corporate email domain) you can set the

RESTRICT_DOMAIN (restrict_domain in config/secrets.yml)

to everything after the @ in your email addresses.
