Raygun
======
Capture and send errors in your Elixir applications to Raygun for centralized
bug reporting.
## Install
Add the dependency to your mix.exs file.
```elixir
def deps do
[{:raygun, "~> 0.2.0"}]
end
```
Add Raygun, httpoison and tzdata to the list of applications.
```elixir
def application do
[applications: [:logger, :raygun, :httpoison, :tzdata]
end
```
## Configuration
Add the following entry to your config/config.exs file.
```elixir
config :raygun,
api_key: "<INSERT YOUR API KEY HERE>"
```
You can *OPTIONALLY* add other configuration options as well. They will be sent
with every error.
* tags: list of metadata strings
* url: a reference URL
* client_name: the name of the application as you want it to appear in Raygun
* client_version: the version of the application as you want it to appear in Raygun
```elixir
config :raygun,
api_key: "<INSERT YOUR API KEY HERE>",
tags: ["tag1", "tag2"],
url: "http://docs.myapp.example.com",
client_name: "MyApp",
client_version: "2.3.4"
```
If you use a plug, the version (client_version above) should be auto detected for you.
## Usage
There are three different ways you can use Raygun. All three ways may be combined,
but you _might_ send the same message multiple times if you do that.
### Via Plug in Phoenix
Add the plug to your router:
```elixir
defmodule YourApp.Router do
use Phoenix.Router
use Raygun.Plug
# ...
end
```
You can also provide a function that takes a Plug Conn and returns a map with
information about the logged in user.
```elixir
defmodule YourApp.Router do
use Phoenix.Router
use Raygun.Plug, user: fn(conn) ->
%{
identifier: "<user id>",
isAnonymous: false, # false if logged in, true if not logged in
email: "email@example.com",
fullName: "John Doe",
firstName: "John",
uuid: "<uuid>"
}
end
# ...
end
```
### Via the Logger
Any error logged with automatically be sent to Raygun.
Configure the Logger to use the Raygun backend. You can do this programmatically
```elixir
Logger.add_backend(Raygun.Logger)
```
or via configuration by adding Raygun as a backend in config/config.exs:
```elixir
config :logger,
backends: [:console, Raygun.Logger]
```
Any messages logged at :error level will be automatically sent to Raygun.
If you would like messages to be associated with a system user then add the
following configuration to config/config.exs:
```elixir
config :raygun,
system_user: %{
identifier: "myuserid",
isAnonymous: true,
email: "myuserid@example.com",
fullName: "Jane Doe",
firstName: "Jane",
uuid: "b07eb66c-9055-4847-a173-881b77cdc83e"
}
```
### Any Elixir code
Start our Raygun application (if you did not configure it as an application
in mix.exs)
```elixir
Raygun.start
```
Send a string message to Raygun:
```elixir
Raygun.report_message "Oh noes."
```
Report an exception programmatically. Be sure that System.stacktrace will be
the correct stack trace!
```elixir
try do
:foo = :bar
rescue
exception -> Raygun.report_exception(exception)
end
```
Or capture the stacktrace explicitly yourself and pass it to Raygun.
```elixir
try do
:foo = :bar
rescue
exception ->
stacktrace = System.stacktrace
Raygun.report_stacktrace(stacktrace, exception)
end
```
Both forms allow some custom context to be passed as an optional final
parameters as a Map. This will appear as 'userCustomData' under the custom
tab in Raygun's web interface.
```elixir
try do
:foo = :bar
rescue
exception ->
Raygun.report_stacktrace(System.stacktrace, exception, %{env: Mix.env})
end
```
