Question

Do the following populate in production?

Kernel.caller
$@

I am trying to retrieve the backtrace for monitoring apps, and I can verify those both work in development mode, but can’t be certain they don’t work in production (easy to test in development, but in production I am sending the backtrace to an outside app).

Or, is there something else I can call to get the backtrace or enable it to work? I understand how to enable logging, but I can’t be certain that necessarily effects the backtrace.

..removed un-needed code..

You don’t have to enable anything, it just works, this is not related to rails at all, it’s just a ruby feature.
