Know yourself but also know others behavior – Onyme Anne
Overwatch is a module that allow you to monitor error or hazardous behavior in your app. To do that you have to set up 2 or 3 things… Don’t worry it shouldn’t be too long ;)
It hasn’t been designed to be a telemetry service even if it does the same kind of job (report only error and hazardous behavior). Maybe in further version it will support more features.
To use the goblin overwatch you have to set up three things :
In debounce mode (default), you need to set up channels and an agent in your
app.json
for the app you want to monitor :
"goblin-overwatch": {
"mode": "debounce",
"channels": {
"discord": ["xxxxxxxxxxxxxx9768/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx-HF2aj85YGklWeTZWGeouGiIBueiM4m4Hyuc8"],
"mail": ["goblin-overwatch@my-domain.ch"]
},
"agent": "mccree"
}
Once you have done that, at the start of your app, you just need to call the init quest of overwatch and enable log via the buslog :
const owAPI = quest.getAPI('overwatch');
yield owAPI.init();
yield quest.cmd('buslog.enable', {modes: ['overwatch']});
In manual mode, you have to retrieve errors from overwatch by using the quest
getAllErrors
:
const owAPI = quest.getAPI('overwatch');
const errors = yield owAPI.getAllErrors();
// errors = {exception:[...], hazard:[...]};
// Do something with your errors, log in a file for example...
