Debirx codes are distinct, random text code that helps troubleshooting complex applications. White Paper: Improving Incident Response Insert debrix codes in every log output and every thrown Exception's message, propagate them to the user instead of stack traces, regardless of your language or environment.
Ex: Console.WriteLine("[DBXCDKALSD] Error: ..."); // when you look at your console and see that code you can do a global search (even on your entire file system) and find the exact line of code that produced the message. Debrix codes can be inserted in every error message, from database code to front-end, and with minimum effort can give your users a reliable, uniform and useful way to report errors back.
Some benefits to enjoy when Debrix codes are in your every log and error message: - removes ambiguity when tracking down root causes - unlike stack traces debrix codes don't leak sensitive information about your code - refactor-resistant - old stack traces can have line numbers and file names that don't match your current version - allow full filesystem/repository searches without multiple matches to sort through - obfuscation-friendly - machine-learning-friendly |
