About

RequestStatisticTracker

Track a particular set of analytics around requests (to Rails, at the moment) into a MongoDB document. The benefits of MongoDB for logging are relatively well espoused at this point.

It isn't super-portable, or remotely configurable, at the moment.

Usage

HowTo

Create a class RequestStatistic like the example given in the code. In fact, the example in the code should work perfectly.

Remember to require, and configure MongoMapper, as needed.

Then, a simple config.middleware.use "RequestStatisticTracker" in your Rails config/environment.rb file will set you up.

Querying for statistics is easy thanks to the MongoMapper RequestStatistic class. MongoMapper works very much like ActiveRecord.

Code

module Rack
  class RequestStatisticTracker
    def initialize(app)
      @app = app
    end
 
    def call(env)
      status, headers, response = @app.call(env)
 
      path = env['REQUEST_PATH'] || env['PATH_INFO']
      format = format_from_content_type(headers['Content-Type'])
      track(env['REMOTE_ADDR'], headers['X-Runtime'], format, path)
 
      [status, headers, response]
    end
 
    private
    def format_from_content_type(type)
      type.nil? ? :html : Mime::Type.lookup(type.split(';').first).to_sym
    end
 
    def track(ip, runtime, format, path)
      stat = {
        :ip         => ip,
        :path       => path,
        :format     => format,
        :runtime    => runtime,
        :created_at => Time.now
      }
      RequestStatistic.create(stat)
    end
  end
end
 
class RequestStatistic
  include MongoMapper::Document
 
  key :format, String, :index => true, :required => true
  key :ip, String, :index => true, :required => true
  key :path, String, :index => true, :required => true
  key :runtime, Integer, :required => true
  key :created_at, Time, :required => true
end
