# Flames [](https://hex.pm/packages/flames) [](https://semaphoreci.com/mgwidmann/flames)

## Installation
The package can be installed as:
1. Add `flames` to your list of dependencies in `mix.exs`:
```elixir
def deps do
[{:flames, "~> 0.4.0"}]
end
```
2. Add configuration to tell `flames` what your repository and (optional) Phoenix Endpoint modules are as well as adding it as a Logger backend:
```elixir
config :flames,
repo: MyPhoenixApp.Repo,
endpoint: MyPhoenixApp.Endpoint,
table: "errors" # Optional, defaults to "errors"
config :logger,
backends: [:console, Flames.Logger]
```
3. Add the following migration:
```elixir
defmodule MyApp.Repo.Migrations.CreateFlamesTable do
use Ecto.Migration
def change do
# Make sure this table name matches the above configuration
create table(:errors) do
add :message, :text
add :level, :string
add :timestamp, :datetime # or :utc_datetime if you're using the latest ecto
add :alive, :boolean
add :module, :string
add :function, :string
add :file, :string
add :line, :integer
add :count, :integer
add :hash, :string
add :incidents, :json
timestamps
end
create index(:errors, [:hash])
create index(:errors, [:updated_at])
end
end
```
4. (Optional) Add it to your Phoenix Router and Phoenix Endpoint for live updates:
Router (You should place this under a secure pipeline and secure it yourself)
```elixir
forward "/errors", Flames.Web
```
Endpoint (Make sure this is the full path, adding `/socket` to the end)
```elixir
socket "/errors/socket", Flames.UserSocket
```
Visit http://localhost:4000/errors (or wherever you mounted it) to see a live stream of errors.
