History: GlitchTip

New in Tiki23

Introduction

GlitchTip is an Open Source error tracking system and you can self-host GlitchTip or subscribe to GlitchTip.com

It also does:

• Uptime Monitoring
• Application Performance Monitoring (not yet supported in Tiki, but you can use Real User Measurement).

The recommended and fully functional way to track your Tiki errors in GlitchTip is (where yourtiki.org is your Tiki instance and glitchtip.example.com is your GlitchTip instance):

Setup GlitchTip for a new project:

• Add a new project in your GlitchTip instance by clicking the "Create New Project"
• Choose PHP as your platform, input the project name (yourtiki.org) and select your team

• Tiki23+ bundles sentry/sdk so you should not run Composer

• Note and copy your DSN from the left panel, it will be used in the Tiki .ini file:

1.1.3. Create a new system configuration .ini file or add a new rule and modify local.php:

For more information about system configuration and tiki.ini (or tiki.ini.php), see: System Configuration

• Navigate to your Tiki root /db folder and create a new tiki.ini file containing

[glitchtip]
preference.error_tracking_enabled_php = y
preference.error_tracking_enabled_js = y
preference.error_tracking_dsn = https://4bd1dec539c9496b9d3f3ef5bd284f70@glitchtip.example.com/4

Of course, replace the preference.error_tracking_dsn link with the DSN generated by GlitchTip

• Now add the following lines to your existing local.php file in the same /db folder

$system_configuration_file = 'db/tiki.ini';
$system_configuration_identifier = 'glitchtip';

1.1.4. You are done

Check the errors reported in your GlitchTip instance, by navigating to your project.
