Project

CMake template to create new C++ applications with basic codes/interfaces are already defined. Requires a C++14 supported compiler.

It provides the following features

• Tracing
  • Generates automatically minidump files using Crashpad for error signals.
• Logging
  • Spdlog with rotating file, syslog and coloured stdout outputs
  • Sentry and Grafana Loki integration for automatic forwarding of logs to an external HTTP server
  • Prometheus client for track internal metrics like error counts, performance of functions including
    • Incremental counters to track success/fail rates and active processes,
    • Minimum and maximum timings,
    • Quantile based performance metrics to determine bottlenecks
• User interactivity
  • Embedded Telnet Server
  • ZeroMQ socket

Feel free to ask, use and report any bugs you encountered!

CMake

• CodeCoverage : Detects and enables gcovr
• CompilerSecurityOption: Enables/Disables secure compiler flags
• Doxy : Find doxygen package and prepare doc environment
• GenerateSymbols : Adds a target for generation of symbol files for minidump
• GitVersion : Get SHA1 hash of current commit
• GraphViz : Find graphviz and dot executable to create dependency graph

Scripts

All scripts should be executed from top level directory

• firstName : Script to change placeholder name
• dump_syms : Dumps symbol files

Dependencies

• CppZMQ
• crashpad
• Date
• Http-status-codes
• Prometheus-cpp
• RapidJSON
• Sentry
• TelnetServLib (Modified and embedded to source directory)

Developing dependencies not required for runtime,

• breakpad (It is required for automatically dumping symbols)
• GoogleTest (For testing)
• MemPlumber (For testing)
• ZLIB (It is required by breakpad)

These runtime dependencies should be installed to the system (for example via package managers like apt or dnf),

• cURL
• Spdlog
• ZeroMQ
