i recently came across meteorhacks:kadira and tried to use it (i.e. create an account, add the package, add the keys to my app). my understanding is that i could access a dashboard at ui.kadira.io/apps and i could get some insight into my app’s performance.
when my app starts, it says “Kadira: completed instrumenting the app”, but per their docs, i don’t see the authentication line.
i started a chat on their site 4 days ago but no one has even looked at it.
does this service still work? has anyone used it successfully in, say, the last week?
It’s currently working for me. I’ve quoted @arunoda’s explanation of the recent downtime, below (was sent in an email to Kadira customers):
You may find, Kadira is down at the moment. That’s because, our database severs gone down due to an Google Cloud issue as we use Google Cloud to store our data.
There is no data deletion, but we cannot process new data. We are working on few work arounds for this issue and trying to come back online.
We are extremely sorry about the issue and I’ll inform you when Kadira is back online.
Even though Kadira is down, there is no effect to your running Meteor app. But, you’ll see some logs related to Kadira’s unavailability.
=> Started MongoDB.
=> Linted your app. No linting errors.
I20160702-12:47:08.967(-4)? Kadira: completed instrumenting the app
=> Started your app.
=> App running at: http://localhost:3000/
so, no, i don’t see “Successfully connected”.
if the email quoted by @hwillson is current, then it makes sense that my data is not being processed. i think i signed up in the middle of this outage.
i tried again, by doing “Create New” in kadira and getting a new set of keys. same behavior as before: my console tells me that the app has been instrumented, but i don’t see any confirmation of successful connection.
and no change on response to my chat window: “6d ago. Not seen yet.”
this still isn’t working for me. my chat is now 3 weeks old, and no one at Kadira has looked at it. (it still says, “unseen”).
i don’t know what to do. others have said it works for them, and it does not work for me. and people there are still alive, as the chat tells me that Arunoda was active 3 hours ago.
what gives? i would be fired if i didn’t respond to a customer for that long.
i have tried yet again. i made a 3rd “app” on the free kadira service and loaded my keys. in the console, it says my app is instrumented, but i see nothing in the dashboard.
i can’t believe i’m the only one for whom this isn’t working.
and i STILL haven’t heard from them at all. started my 3rd chat today.
@vigorwebsolutions and @XTA - did you add only meteorhacks:kadira? did you add debug? kadira-profiler? Are you at Galaxy? did you deploy via settings.json? free version?
sorry for the question flash-flood, any info you could share about how you deploy would be much appreciated!
thanks @XTA, found my issue (operator error…). something about seeing you had done it via settings.json nudged me. i had nested the “kadira”:… keys etc within “public”. Once I moved it out I got data. thanks again!
omg i actually got it working as well. i had my keys in the private section of the JSON. once i moved it outside there (i.e. not in public or private), it started connecting.
