Sniffer aims to help:
- Log outgoing HTTP requests. Sniffer logs as JSON format for export to ELK, Logentries and etc.
- Debug requests. Sniffer allows to save all requests/responses in storage for future debugging
Sniffer supports most common HTTP accessing libraries:
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'sniffer'If you wish Sniffer to use Module#prepend instead of alias_method, you can cause individual adapters to use prepend instead with:
gem 'sniffer', require: ['http_prepend', 'httpclient_prepend', 'sniffer']It's important that 'sniffer' is the last item in the list. See the lib directory for a list of prependable adapters.
If you want all adapters to use prepend:
gem 'sniffer', require: ['all_prepend', 'sniffer']And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install sniffer
Here's some simple examples to get you started:
require 'http'
require 'sniffer'
Sniffer.enable!
HTTP.get('http://example.com/?lang=ruby&author=matz')
Sniffer.data[0].to_h
# => {:request=>
# {:host=>"example.com",
# :query=>"/?lang=ruby&author=matz",
# :port=>80,
# :headers=>{"Accept-Encoding"=>"gzip;q=1.0,deflate;q=0.6,identity;q=0.3", "Connection"=>"close"},
# :body=>"",
# :method=>:get},
# :response=>
# {:status=>200,
# :headers=>
# {"Content-Encoding"=>"gzip",
# "Cache-Control"=>"max-age=604800",
# "Content-Type"=>"text/html",
# "Date"=>"Thu, 26 Oct 2017 13:47:00 GMT",
# "Etag"=>"\"359670651+gzip\"",
# "Expires"=>"Thu, 02 Nov 2017 13:47:00 GMT",
# "Last-Modified"=>"Fri, 09 Aug 2013 23:54:35 GMT",
# "Server"=>"ECS (lga/1372)",
# "Vary"=>"Accept-Encoding",
# "X-Cache"=>"HIT",
# "Content-Length"=>"606",
# "Connection"=>"close"},
# :body=> "OK",
# :timing=>0.23753299983218312}}You can clear saved data
Sniffer.clear!
You can configure capacity of storage to prevent the huge memory usage and set up log rotation. By default log rotation is active (when capacity is set) and log works like a queue. If rotation is disabled - requests will be logged until result log size reaches the capacity.
# will fill the storage and stop logging
Sniffer.config.store = {capacity: 1000, rotate: false}
# will rotate logs to fit 1000 results (rotate is true by default)
Sniffer.config.store = {capacity: 1000}
You can reset config to default
Sniffer.reset!
You can enable and disable Sniffer
Sniffer.enable!
Sniffer.disable!
By default output log looks like that:
D, [2017-10-26T16:47:14.007152 #59511] DEBUG -- : {"port":80,"host":"example.com","query":"/?lang=ruby&author=matz","rq_connection":"close","method":"get","request_body":"","status":200,"rs_accept_ranges":"bytes","rs_cache_control":"max-age=604800","rs_content_type":"text/html","rs_date":"Thu, 26 Oct 2017 13:47:13 GMT","rs_etag":"\"359670651+gzip\"","rs_expires":"Thu, 02 Nov 2017 13:47:13 GMT","rs_last_modified":"Fri, 09 Aug 2013 23:54:35 GMT","rs_server":"ECS (lga/1385)","rs_vary":"Accept-Encoding","rs_x_cache":"HIT","rs_content_length":"1270","rs_connection":"close","timing":0.513012999901548,"response_body":"OK"}
where rq_xxx is request header and rs_xxx - response header
Sniffer default options:
Sniffer.config do |c|
c.logger = Logger.new($stdout)
c.severity = Logger::Severity::DEBUG
# HTTP options to log
c.log = {
request_url: true,
request_headers: true,
request_body: true,
request_method: true,
response_status: true,
response_headers: true,
response_body: true,
timing: true
}
c.store = true # save requests/responses to Sniffer.data
c.enabled = false # Sniffer disabled by default
c.url_whitelist = nil
c.url_blacklist = nil
endYou can add specific host url to whitelist as regexp or string. Sniffer will store only requests that matched.
Sniffer.config.url_whitelist = /whitelisted.com/
HTTP.get('http://example.com')
Sniffer.data[0].to_h
# => {}
HTTP.get('http://whitelisted.com/')
Sniffer.data[0].to_h
# => {{:request=>{:host=>"whitelisted.com", ....}}You can add specific host url to blacklist as regexp or string. Sniffer will ignore all matched requests.
Sniffer.config.url_blacklist = /blacklisted.com/
HTTP.get('http://blacklisted.com')
Sniffer.data[0].to_h
# => {}
HTTP.get('http://example.com')
Sniffer.data[0].to_h
# => {{:request=>{:host=>"example.com", ...}}You can add the middleware to run custom code before/after the sniffed data was logged.
Sniffer.middleware do |chain|
chain.add MyHook
end
class MyHook
def request(data_item)
puts "Before work"
yield
puts "After work"
end
def response(data_item)
puts "Before work"
yield
puts "After work"
end
endAfter checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.
To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
Get local development environment working and tests running is very easy with docker-compose:
docker-compose run app bundle
docker-compose run app bundle exec rspecBug reports and pull requests are welcome on GitHub at https://github.com/aderyabin/sniffer. This project is intended to be a safe, welcoming space for collaboration, and contributors are expected to adhere to the Contributor Covenant code of conduct.
