Topic: FiveRuns TuneUp / RoutingError

If you are using NewRelic, they have updated their gem to use alias_method_chain for loading. Updating your NewRelic gem should solve this issue.
Thanks,

Topic: FiveRuns TuneUp / Tuneup bar is not getting displayed

Hi All,
NewRelic has released a new gem and so now, both TuneUp and NewRelic can run in the same environment. If you update your NewRelic gem, you should not see this problem any more.
Thanks,

Topic: FiveRuns TuneUp / RoutingError

Hi Jimmy,
We do have a work around for the routing problem. If you can rename the fiveruns_tuneup plugin in your /vendor/plugins directory to zfiveruns_tuneup the TuneUp bar should show up.
We use alias_method_chain for the routing, but it looks like there is another plugin that is monkey-patched, so our plugin will need to load last.
Thanks,
Rachel

Topic: FiveRuns TuneUp / Deprecation and Route Problem

Hi Spilth,
We do have a work around for the routing problem. If you can rename the fiveruns_tuneup plugin in your /vendor/plugins directory to zfiveruns_tuneup the TuneUp bar should show up.

Sorry for the delay in getting this out.

We are looking into this issue now. I will post here when we have this resolved.

Topic: FiveRuns TuneUp / Deprecation and Route Problem

We have a work around for the deprecation error you are seeing. You can add this to the tune.rb file. We will have a fix in the next release of the TuneUp gem.

deps = defined?(ActiveSupport::Dependencies) ? ActiveSupport::Dependencies : Dependencies
deps.load_paths.unshift File.dirname(__FILE__)%

Topic: FiveRuns TuneUp / "can't activate activesupport (>= 0, runtime), already activated activesupport-2.1.0" error

Hi Nick,
Are your gems frozen by any chance? Because the TuneUp gem functions as a plugin it cannot be frozen. You can lock the gem instead and it should work just fine.
Let me know if you continue to have issues.
Thanks,
Rachel

Topic: FiveRuns TuneUp / Supported operating system

Hi Ayyanar,
TuneUp doesn’t care what OS you are running, so using Windows XP should not make a difference.
Is your Rails environment set to development? Are you seeing any exceptions?
Any additional info you can provide will help us troubleshoot.
Thanks,
Rachel

Topic: FiveRuns TuneUp / Installing from github

Hi Zubin,
We have chosen to only release the gem via RubyForge. That way we don’t have two sets out and available.
You can do a manual install with the following steps:
git clone git://github.com/fiveruns/fiveruns_tuneup.git
cd fiveruns_tuneup
sudo rake install
The “echoe” gem is currently required to build the TuneUp gem.
Thanks,
Rachel

Topic: FiveRuns TuneUp / "Gems::FiverunsTuneup-0.8.17::Lib::Fiveruns" is not a valid constant name!

Hi Rémi,
There is an issue in Rails with unpacking plugin style gems. You do not need to unpack the TuneUp gem, you can just do the config.gem in your environment.rb file.
Thanks,
Rachel

Topic: FiveRuns TuneUp / Using TuneUp with ActiveRecord::BaseWithoutTable

Hi Rémi,
We are looking into this now. We have not tested with the BaseWithouTable plugin. I’ll let you know what we find out.
Thanks,

Topic: FiveRuns TuneUp / Enabling TuneUp only in dev mode

Hi Rémi,
TuneUp gem is designed to only go in the environment.rb file. However, it also only instruments the dev environment and does not instrument the production environment. So you should not see TuneUp in your production environment.
Let me know if you have any other questions.
Thanks,
Rachel

Topic: FiveRuns TuneUp / Gem Install Error

Hi All,
TuneUp plugin 0.8.17 was released yesterday. This will remove the dependency on RubyGems 1.2.
Thanks,

Topic: FiveRuns TuneUp / Tune Up can't find </head> tag

Hi Dan,
I know you and Brian have been working on this via email. We have not been able to reproduce the error condition you are seeing. We will continue to work on this and will post as soon as we have an updated plugin that resolves this issue. Thanks for your time in helping us troubleshoot.
Best,
Rachel

Topic: FiveRuns TuneUp / Tuneup with a sub URL

Hi Anthony,
Right now you can’t configure TuneUp to look at the subURLs. Improved support for Phusion Passenger apps is in our plan for TuneUp. I will post here when we have an update on this.
Thanks,
Rachel

Topic: FiveRuns TuneUp / divided by 0 errors

Hi All,
We are working on fixing this in the plugin. In the mean time, others have been able to fix this issue with the following
Change the line 5 of _data.html.erb to:
<%= link_to trend + tuneup_data.time.to_i.to_s, ’#’ %> ms
(adding the ”.to_s”).
Thanks,
Rachel

Topic: FiveRuns TuneUp / Error on executing fiveruns_tuneup

Hi Smeade,
This will be fixed on an updated plugin that will be released later today. Glad you were able to fix it on your own.
Thanks,

Topic: FiveRuns TuneUp / two different errors

Hi Pirkka,
We are looking into these errors. However, some others have had luck with making the following change:
Changed the line 5 of _data.html.erb to:
<%= link_to trend + tuneup_data.time.to_i.to_s, ’#’ %> ms
(adding the ”.to_s”).
Thanks,

Topic: FiveRuns TuneUp / Gem Install Error

Hi All,
The current plugin is dependent on RubyGems 1.2. We have a new plugin that should be released later today that removes that dependency. I will post back here when it is released.

Topic: FiveRuns Manage / interface for iphone

Hi Ryan,
An iPhone interface is still under discussion. I think there are a lot of people who would like to have that option.

Topic: FiveRuns Manage / No Rails application clusters detected

Hi Aaronchi,
By ‘Application Clusters’ we mean a group of Rails apps with the same name. Clustering is useful if you are running the same app on several servers.
Even if a cluster was not detected, you should still see the individual Rails app or apps listed separately in the right-hand column.
Hope this is helpful.
Thanks,
Rachel

Topic: FiveRuns TuneUp / Disabling collecting on certain actions?

Hi Calvin,
This is a great suggestion and I have added it to our enhancement list for TuneUp.
Thanks,

Topic: FiveRuns Manage / modrails monitoring support

Since capturing the mod_rails metrics requires root access, we are holding off on adding this for now. Until we have another way to gather the metric data we will have this on hold.
If this changes, I will post another note here and let you know.
Thanks,
Rachel

Topic: FiveRuns TuneUp / Looking at ajax polling request

Hi Superchris,
Currently TuneUp doesn’t track the ajax requests on a page. I will pass this along as a feature request to our dev team to possibly add in a future release.
Thanks,

Topic: FiveRuns Install / Imagemagick

Hi ttdavett,
Here is my environment-sample.rb file.
#Add the following lines to your envronemnt.rb file if you want to use RMagick
ENV[“MAGICK_CODER_MODULE_PATH”]=”/your/path/to/rminstall/common/lib/ImageMagick-6.3.4/modules-Q16/coders”
ENV[“GS_FONTPATH”] = ”/your/path/to/rminstall/common/share/ghostscript/fonts”
ENV[“MAGICK_CONFIGURE_PATH”]=”/your/path/to/rminstall/common/lib/ImageMagick-6.3.4/config”
ENV[“GS_LIB”] = ”/your/path/to/rminstall/common/share/ghostscript/fonts”
Let me know if you need anything else.
Thanks,
Rachel

Topic: FiveRuns Manage / Significance of "Linux Unavailable"

Hi Yarnosh,
The “Linux Unavailable” trigger is fired when we do not receive any updates from the FiveRuns client on that particular server for the 12 minute interval.
This can be the result of the server actually being down or the client not being able to communicate for another reason, i.e. network connectivity or latency,
If your server appears to be up on your end after you have received an alert, check to make sure the FiveRuns client is running. If it has stopped, you can restart the client.
Thanks,
Rachel

Topic: FiveRuns TuneUp / TuneUp bar is Empty

Hi Justin,
This could be related to Prototype not being in use. We will take a look at this and let you know. Thanks for bringing this to our attention.
Thanks,

Topic: FiveRuns Manage / strange behavior on a development server

Hi slonghurst,
What version of the FiveRuns plugin are your running?
I believe this error has been fixed in a recent release.
Try doing a gem update and then installing the plugin with: fiveruns_manage /path/to/rails/app
This should eliminate the error.
Thanks,
Rachel
