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:

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

Or use the Erlang error logger:

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

Or cause an error with a full stack trace:

bugsnag:test_error().

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

[
  {bugsnag_erlang, [
    {error_logger, true},
    {api_key, "ENTER_API_KEY"},
    {release_state, "development"}
  ]}
].

And start the application:

application:start(bugsnag)

Or add the application to your .app configuration.

Lager handler

We also provide a lager to report anything above a certain level (by default, error) to Bugsnag.

For example, simply add

{bugsnag_lager_handler, critical}

to your lager handler config.
