Feature

As a CF hero
I want to know what my CF app is doing
So that I can debug it

Push a buggy app

# From the training home directory:

How do I debug my app?

1. App logs
2. App events
3. App instrumentation
4. SSH access

1. App logs

$ cf logs debug-app --recent

...

... [App/0] ERR ...  - RuntimeError - I am a bug, fix me:
... [App/0] ERR /home/vcap/app/config.ru:20:in `block in <class:Web>

$ cf logs debug-app # Tails app logs, CTRL + C to exit

Let’s fix the app

$ cf set-env debug-app FIXED true
$ cf restart debug-app

2. App events

$ cf events debug-app

... description
... index: 0, reason: CRASHED, exit_description: 2 error(s) ...
...

3. App instrumentation

• New Relic
• AppDynamics

Included in Java buildpack

New Relic instrumentation

$ cf create-service newrelic standard newrelic
$ cf bind-service debug-app newrelic
$ cf env debug-app
# Find your New Relic license key

# From the training home directory:
$ cd 06-debugging/debug-app
# Replace YOUR-LICENSE-KEY
$ vim newrelic.yml

$ cf push

$ cf service newrelic

4. SSH access
