Bugsnag notifier for Erlang applications.

## Dependencies

Requires Lager.

The following applications must be started:

    lager, inets, crypto, ssl

## Usage

You may send custom errors directly:

```erlang
bugsnag:notify(error, fake, "Testing bugsnag with a manual error report", no_module, 0).
```

Or use the Erlang error logger:

```erlang
error_logger:error_msg("A sample error caught by the bugsnag error logger.").
```

Or cause an error with a full stack trace:

```erlang
bugsnag:test_error().
```

When embedding, make sure to set up the configuration elements in your sys.config (or other config file):

```erlang
[
  {bugsnag, [
    {error_logger, true},
    {api_key, "ENTER_API_KEY"},
    {release_state, "development"}
  ]}
].
```

And start the application:

```erlang
application:start(bugsnag)
```

Or add the application to your .app configuration.
