# Also, disallow use of the map/reduce query links (i.e. /riak/bucket/key/_,_,_)

# Config is in /etc/nginx/sites-available/default or somewhere like that

# Set up load-balancing to send requests to all nodes in the Riak cluster
# Replace these IPs/ports with the locations of your Riak nodes

Instrument Anything in Rails 3

With Rails 3.0 released a few weeks ago I've migrated a few apps and I'm constantly finding useful new improvements. One such improvement is the ability to log anything in the same way that Rails internally logs ActiveRecord and ActionView. By default Rails 3 logs look slightly spiffier than those produced by Rails 2.3: (notice the second line has been cleaned up)

Started GET "/" for 127.0.0.1 at Mon Sep 06 01:07:11 -0400 2010
  Processing by HomeController#index as HTML
  User Load (0.2ms)  SELECT `users`.* FROM `users` WHERE (`users`.`id` = 3) LIMIT 1
  CACHE (0.0ms)  SELECT `users`.* FROM `users` WHERE (`users`.`id` = 3) LIMIT 1

# How we store all time views across the entire system for http://gauge.es.
# All in one document that gets incremented using MongoDB $inc modifier in
# every track. The $inc increments t, year.t, year.month.t, year.month.day.t
# so we get to the day numbers. These are in EST, as we are in EST and these
# stats are just for us. :) Nothing amazing, but thought I would share.
