[Tiki-devel] GlitchTip, an error reporting tool

Dear community

I had a task about researching reporting tools and I ended up trying
GlitchTip, that is a real OpenSource alternative to Sentry.

The tool is capable to catch unhandled exception and errors on many
programming languages, including PHP and JavaScript.

After you wire GlitchTip to your site, the errors start to popup in the
report page. We have a good amount of useful information, like the error
stack trace, browser and OS version and some HTTP headers.

Tracking JavaScript errors is pretty easy. You just need to go to "Settings
> Control Panels > Look & feel > Customization" and add GlitchTip code[1]
into "Custom HTML head content".

But tracking PHP errors is not easy yet. We would need to change some bytes
on Tiki code. Basically, to GlitchTip catch errors on PHP side we would
need to add a library[2] and initialize the API as soon as possible,
probably in tiki-setup or tiki-setup_base. Also, we need to keep somewhere
the DSN code. If we store as preference, then that means the GlitchTip
initialization will happen after loading preferences, and errors before
that will not appear.

Does anyone have an idea about how to integrate GlitchTip library into
Tiki? When is a good moment to initialize GlitchTip.
