rageshake

Web service which collects and serves bug reports.

rageshake requires Go version 1.16 or later.

To run it, do:

go 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.

Issue template

It is possible to override the templates used to construct emails, and Github and Gitlab issues. See templates/README.md for more information.

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.

A whole directory can be downloaded as a tarball by appending the parameter ?format=tar.gz to the end of the URL path

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.

• label: Label to attach to the github issue, and include in the details file.

  If using the JSON upload encoding, this should be encoded as a labels field, whose value should be a list of strings.

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

  If the log is uploaded with a filename name.ext, where name contains only alphanumerics, ., - or _, and ext is one of log or txt, then the file saved to disk is based on that. Otherwise, a suitable name is constructed.

  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. Used as the filename, as above.
  • lines: log data. Newlines should be encoded as \n, as normal in JSON).

  A summary of the current log file formats that are uploaded for log and compressed-log is available.

• compressed-log: a gzipped logfile. Decompressed and then treated the same as log.

  Compressed logs are not supported for the JSON upload encoding.

  A summary of the current log file formats that are uploaded for log and compressed-log is available.

• file: an arbitrary file to attach to the report. Saved as-is to disk, and a link is added to the github issue. The filename must be in the format name.ext, where name contains only alphanumerics, - or _, and ext is one of jpg, png, txt, json, txt.gz or json.gz.

  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.

Notifications

You can get notifications when a new rageshake arrives on the server.

Currently this tool supports pushing notifications as GitHub issues in a repo, through a Slack webhook or by email, cf sample config file for how to configure them.

Generic Webhook Notifications

You can receive a webhook notifications when a new rageshake arrives on the server.

These requests contain all the parsed metadata, and links to the uploaded files, and any github/gitlab issues created.

Details on the request and expected response are available.

Cleanup script

A python script is provided in scripts/cleanup.py and in a docker container. It can be configured using the commandline options available via cleaup.py --help.

It can either be run via a cronjob at appropriate intervals (typically daily), or be set to run in a continual mode with something like --repeat-delay-hours 24 to repeat running after approximately 24 hours.

Note that this script will scan all logs older than the smallest configured retention period, up to the limit specified by --max-days or each of the days in --days-to-check. This can be an IO and CPU intensive process if a large number of files are scanned.
