Lager Backend for Airbrake

This is a lager backend for the error notification service Airbrake. The backend mediates between lager and erlbrake.

Usage

You need an Airbrake account. Your application should be OTP conform and use rebar.

Add lager_erlbrake_backend to the dependencies in your rebar.config:

{lager_erlbrake_backend, ".*", {git, "https://github.com/ypaq/lager_erlbrake_backend.git", "master"}}

Include lager_erlbrake_backend in the lager configuration of your project:

{lager, [handlers, [{lager_erlbrake_backend, [ {environment, "development"},
                                               {api_key, "ENTER_API_KEY"},
                                               {notification_api, "http://airbrake.io/notifier_api/v2/notices"}, %% optional
                                               {notify_level, error}  %% optional 
                                             ]}]]}

The backend will send log messages with log level error or more critical to Airbrake.

Optional parameter notification_api is used to support an alternative Airbrake compliant endpoint. For example, using "https://api.rollbar.com/notifier_api/v2/notices/" you can use the compliant endpoint from Rollbar service.

Build

You can build lager_erlbrake_backend on its own with:

./rebar get-deps compile
