“Tuning your Rails application – to measure is to know”

Bart ten Brinke gave his presentation yesterday about Tuning your rails application. A very interesting talk about what can go wrong with an application and how to debug, solve and maintain it. Bart started with some basic problems that can accure during a production environment.
Bart came with some nice solutions to monitor your application. His favorite tool was Nagios. A monitor tool which called him out of bed last sunday on 3 o clock, Strange but true :) Some more monitoring tools came accross, Munin, Exception notification, Hoptoad and a really nice tool New Relic.
A very interesting item on this presentation was the plugin Bart made called Request Log Analyzer A plugin which helps you with reading your log files. With just some simple commands you can have all the data you need from your log files. You can specify which controller or action to observe. It is also possible to specify timestamps. Definitely an awesome tool!
