Catch and send errors via Email

[chriii...@gmail.com]

Hello, I would like to know if there is a way to send py4web errors via email or similar?

Sometimes in production apps unexpected error happens and would be convenient to know them in time via email.

Greetings!

I don't know about the py4web error handlers [1], but in web2py the errors are text files in a designated directory, and a background process could certainly be watching the directory for new entries.  Consider using the scheduler.

This was discussed in the case of web2py. My opinion is sending emails should bot be performed synchronously by an action because it may be a blocking operation. Also it may lead to excessive spam.

I think the right approach is to have a background scheduler task that sends en email when there are newly created tickets. It should also do some throttling and combine tickets of the same kind.

There would be an app with a UI to register emails, subscribe to errors (per app), and throttling parameters.

Any volunteers?

I can make this feature, I have it in mind for while. 

I was thinking in just a script that can read tickets listed in dashboard app and send them via email. I haven’t investigated if tickets are in a db or in a file but i will. I haven’t used scheduler, I always use celery for async tasks. Anyway, I can work on this.

greetings
