Errbit: export all parameters of a specific problem to JSON file

author @no___tea

Little protip.

NOTE 1: this protip is useful for Errbit + MongoDB

NOTE 2: I’m not an expert in Errbit and MongoDB. Waiting for suggestions in comments :)

NOTE 3: I hope that we have more useful methods to do this, but I’ve not found them.

If you need to export all parameters of a specific problem to JSON file, you should get problem_id. Go the problem page, problem_id is in URL after the problems/

https://errbit.your-project.com/apps/602069ee9f440473d6402110/problems/60236b0f9f440479d8f75949

Our id is 60236b0f9f440479d8f75949. Don’t mix up with app_id .

Then you should go to your environment where errbit is deployed (server) and run this command. And run this

mongo errbit_production --quiet --eval "db.notices.find({ err_id: db.errs.findOne({ problem_id: ObjectId(\"60236b0f9f440479d8f75949\")})._id }).toArray()" > errors.json

here errbit_production is errbit database name in mongo.

And now can find your data in error.json file.

When it’s exactly a JSON, but you can fix it by removing ObjectId and ISODate type names from the text. I’ve written this script to fix it (Ruby):

Magic!
