hapi
plugin for taking a process dump and cleaning up after an uncaught exception
Lead Maintainer: Colin Ihrig
When an uncaughtException
is encountered a heap dump will be output to the
plugin folder. A log file is also written containing the exception details.
After this is complete the process will exit with a failure code. Heap dumps can
also be taken at arbitrary times by sending a SIGUSR1
signal to the server
process.
The following example shows how to register and configure poop
. In this example,
an uncaught exception is thrown after poop
is registered. This will trigger a
heap dump and poop.log
file to be created.
'use strict';
var Path = require('path');
var Hapi = require('hapi');
var Poop = require('poop');
var server = new Hapi.Server();
server.register({
register: Poop,
options: {
logPath: Path.join(__dirname, 'poop.log')
}
}, function () {
throw new Error('uncaught');
});
The following options are available when configuring poop
.
The file path to log any uncaught exception errors. Defaults to poop.log
in
the plugin folder.
Options passed to the write stream of the log file. Uses Node's defaults:
{
flags: 'w',
encoding: null,
fd: null,
mode: 0666
}
