NurseAndrea Ruby SDK

The official Ruby gem for NurseAndrea — observability for Rails startups.

Installation

Add to your Gemfile:

gem "nurse_andrea"

Then run:

bundle install
rails generate nurse_andrea:install

Set your API key:

export NURSE_ANDREA_API_KEY="your_token_from_dashboard"

What it does

• Log shipping — captures all Rails.logger calls and ships them to your NurseAndrea dashboard
• Request metrics — measures every HTTP request (duration, status code, path) via Rack middleware
• Backfill — ships the last 24h of your Rails log file on first startup
• Health endpoint — mounts /nurse_andrea/status so the dashboard can verify your connection

Configuration

NurseAndrea.configure do |config|
  config.api_key        = ENV["NURSE_ANDREA_API_KEY"]
  config.log_level      = :warn
  config.backfill_hours = 48
  config.enabled        = !Rails.env.test?
end
