Crash Reporting

Raygun Crash Reporting silently monitors your software and notifies you when users encounter errors. Crash Reporting also provides deep diagnostic information about the root cause of the error or crash, meaning your team won't be losing valuable time digging through log files.

Using this plugin, you can enable crash reporting to track errors and exceptions generated by your WordPress site.

Real User Monitoring

Ensure your website delivers a flawless user experience using Raygun Real User Monitoring. Monitor the performance of every user session so you can make improvements. Measure how geographic location affects your user experience by viewing detailed breakdowns. Increase user retention by discovering the problematic pages your users get stuck on.

Using this plugin, you can enable real user monitoring to track individual user sessions, asset load times and more about your WordPress site.

Customers

Customers are why we create software. See them all, what they do, and how they're impacted by errors, crashes, and performance issues when using your software applications. Raygun Customers gives you complete clarity on who is using your application, alongside any problems they encountered that negatively impacted their end-user experience. Understand what actions led to an issue occurring and whether the overall experience was good or bad for individual users. Customers is included in all Raygun plans and can be set up quickly by enabling it in your plugin settings.

When enabled, the currently logged in user's email address, first name and last name will be transmitted with each error or session. This will be visible in the Raygun dashboard. If this feature is not enabled, a random ID will be assigned to each user.

Tagging Errors

As of 1.8.0, both client-side and server-side errors can be tagged. Tags are custom text transmitted with errors that allow for easy identification. For example, a developer might want to tag JavaScript errors with client-side and PHP errors with server-side.

Asynchronous Sending

As of 2.0.0, asynchronous sending is avaliable on both Unix and Windows based systems. Enabling async sending should yeild a significant performance increase.

Logging Unsent Errors

As of 2.0.0, errors that fail to send to Raygun will be logged to the standard WordPress log file (WP_CONTENT_DIR/debug.log).

Ignore 3rd-party errors

As of 2.1.0, you can now ignore 3rd-party errors from being sent to Raygun. You can enable this option via the plugin settings.
