Hey folks,

I'm a SysAdmin who is installing Errbit for our ruby apps, and have a requirement put on by my manager to make sure that Errbit is "recoverable" or "portable" or "re-chefable" in case of server failure or if we want to move to a new host. I have everything in Chef for the redeployability, however I do not know where Errbit keeps the application API Keys for the apps connecting to it. The  hope is that if we have to move/redeploy Erribit we won't have to update the API keys in all of our ruby apps, and that Errbit can keep them.

I've look at the config files, but I assume these are stored in the database somewhere? Or did I just miss them in a config? Any insight would be most helpful.

Thanks!

The API keys are in the apps collection in the mongo db. If you have a backup of the db, you should be able to restore it to recover from a disaster or move the application.

Thanks Stephen, I had assumed this but couldn't find a definitive answer. That helps a lot.
