TowerHoneybadger

Elixir error tracking and reporting to Honeybadger.

Tower reporter for Honeybadger.

Installation

Package can be installed by adding tower_honeybadger to your list of dependencies in mix.exs:

def deps do
  [
    {:tower_honeybadger, "~> 0.2.2"}
  ]
end

Usage

Tell Tower to inform TowerHoneybadger reporter about errors.

# config/config.exs

config(
  :tower,
  :reporters,
  [
    # along any other possible reporters
    TowerHoneybadger
  ]
)

And configure :tower_honeybadger, with at least the API key.

# config/runtime.exs

if config_env() == :prod do
  config :tower_honeybadger, api_key: System.get_env("HONEYBADGER_API_KEY")
end

That's it.

It will try report any errors (exceptions, throws or abnormal exits) within your application. That includes errors in any plug call (including Phoenix), Oban job, async task or any other Elixir process.

Some HTTP request data will automatically be included in the report if a Plug.Conn if available when handling the error.

Manual reporting

You can manually report errors just by informing Tower about any manually caught exceptions, throws or abnormal exits.

try do
  # possibly crashing code
rescue
  exception ->
    Tower.report_exception(exception, __STACKTRACE__)
end
