Splunk Mint Plugin

The Splunk Mint plugin provides a way of integrating Splunk Mint crash reporting into a Cordova app. There are two ways of configuring and starting it: via the config.xml file, in which case Splunk Mint is started as soon as the plugin loads; and via a call to plugins.splunkmint.start, in which case, Splunk Mint won't be started until this call completes.

Configuration via config.xml

There are three preferences available for configuration in the config.xnl file:

• splunk_android_api_key, which specifies the Splunk API key for Android.
• splunk_ios_api_key, which specifies the Splunk API key for iOS.
• splunk_extra_data, which specifies any extra data to be uploaded in the event of a crash; this is a string representation of a JSON object whose values are all strings.

For example:

<preference name="splunk_android_key" value="f25257f1"/>
<preference name="splunk_ios_api_key" value="b2c251f8"/>
<preference name="splunk_extra_data" value="{'user': 'gary'}"/>

Calls

plugins.splunkmint.crash

This function is used purely for testing — do NOT use in a released app. On iOS, it will crash the app with a segmentation violation (SIGSEGV). When the app is restated, an error report should be uploaded to the Splunk Mint website.

function successCallback () {
  // This will never be called 'cos we'll already have crashed
}

function errorCallback (message) {
  // See above
}

plugins.splunkmint.crash(successCallback, errorCallback)

plugins.splunkmint.enableLogCat

Enables a limited logcat to be sent along with a crash. Android only.

function successCallback () {
  // Enabled
}

function errorCallback (message) {
  // There was a problem
}

var options = {
  'enable': true,	// required
  'loglines': 100,	// optional
  'filter': 'ActivityManager:I MyApp:D *:S' // optional
};

plugins.splunkmint.enableLogCat(successCallback, errorCallback, options);

plugins.splunkmint.leaveBreadcrumb

Add a breadcrumb to a potential crash report.

function successCallback () {
  // done
}

function errorCallback (message) {
  // There was a problem
}

plugins.splunkmint.leaveBreadcrumb(successCallback, errorCallback, "opened page 2");

plugins.splunkmint.logEvent

Log an event.

function successCallback () {
  // done
}

function errorCallback (message) {
  // There was a problem
}

plugins.splunkmint.logEvent(successCallback, errorCallback, "Logged in");

plugins.splunkmint.logView

Log a view.

function successCallback () {
  // done
}

function errorCallback (message) {
  // There was a problem
}

plugins.splunkmint.logView(successCallback, errorCallback, "View X");

plugins.splunkmint.getTotalCrashesNum

Get the number of crashes since install. On iOS, this always returns 0.

function successCallback (value) {
  console.log(value + ' crashes');
}

function errorCallback (message) {
  // There was a problem
}

plugins.splunkmint.getTotalCrashesNum(successCallback, errorCallback);

plugins.splunkmint.getLastCrashID

Gets the ID of the last crash or null if there wasn't one. On iOS, this always returns null.

function successCallback (crashId) {
  console.log('Crash ID: ' + crashId);
}

function errorCallback (message) {
  // There was a problem
}

plugins.splunkmint.getLastCrashID(successCallback, errorCallback);

plugins.splunkmint.transactionStart

Start a transaction with a given name.

function successCallback () {
  // done
}

function errorCallback (message) {
  // There was a problem
}

plugins.splunkmint.startTransaction(successCallback, errorCallback, "RequestX");

plugins.splunkmint.transactionStop

Stop the transaction with the given name.

function successCallback () {
  // done
}

function errorCallback (message) {
  // There was a problem
}

plugins.splunkmint.transactionStop(successCallback, errorCallback, "RequestX");

plugins.splunkmint.transactionCancel

Cancel the transaction with the given name for the given reason.

function successCallback () {
  // done
}

function errorCallback (message) {
  // There was a problem
}

var options = {
  'name': 'RequestX',
  'reason': 'UserCancelled'
};

plugins.splunkmint.transactionCancel(successCallback, errorCallback, options);

plugins.splunkmint.flush

Flush pending items.

function successCallback () {
  // done
}

function errorCallback (message) {
  // There was a problem
}

plugins.splunkmint.flush(successCallback, errorCallback);

plugins.splunkmint.enableDebugLog

Enable debug logging

function successCallback () {
  // done
}

function errorCallback (message) {
  // There was a problem
}

plugins.splunkmint.enableDebugLog(successCallback, errorCallback);

plugins.splunkmint.log

Write a log message from a given source at a specified level. Valid levels are "v" (verbose), "d" (debug, the default), "i" (info), "w" (warning) and "e" (error). Note on iOS "v" is the same as "w" and the tag field is ignored.

function successCallback () {
  // done
}

function errorCallback (message) {
  // There was a problem
}

var options = {
  'tag': 'MyApp',
  'msg': 'Started loading screen...',
  'priority': 'i'
};

plugins.splunkmint.log(successCallback, errorCallback, options);
