Rollbar

Rollbar is an error tracking service for Ruby and other languages. The Rollbar service will alert you of problems with your code and help you understand them in a ways never possible before. We love it and we hope you will too.

This is the Ruby library for Rollbar. It will instrument many kinds of Ruby applications automatically at the framework level. You can also make direct calls to send exceptions and messages to Rollbar.

Getting Started

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'rollbar'

And then execute:

$ bundle install
# Or if you don't use bundler:
$ gem install rollbar

Unless you are using JRuby, we suggest also installing Oj for JSON serialization. Add this line to your Gemfile:

gem 'oj', '~> 2.12.14'

and then bundle install again.

Rails

Run the following command from your Rails root:

$ rails generate rollbar POST_SERVER_ITEM_ACCESS_TOKEN

Be sure to replace POST_SERVER_ITEM_ACCESS_TOKEN with your project's post_server_item access token, which you can find in the Rollbar.com interface.

That will create the file config/initializers/rollbar.rb, which initializes Rollbar and holds your access token and other configuration values.

If you want to store your access token outside of your repo, run the same command without arguments and create an environment variable ROLLBAR_ACCESS_TOKEN that holds your server-side access token:

$ rails generate rollbar
$ export ROLLBAR_ACCESS_TOKEN=POST_SERVER_ITEM_ACCESS_TOKEN

For Heroku users:

If you're on Heroku, you can store the access token in your Heroku config:

$ heroku config:add ROLLBAR_ACCESS_TOKEN=POST_SERVER_ITEM_ACCESS_TOKEN

That's all you need to use Rollbar with Rails.

Sinatra

Initialize Rollbar with your access token somewhere during startup:

Rollbar.configure do |config|
  config.access_token = 'POST_SERVER_ITEM_ACCESS_TOKEN'
  # other configuration settings
  # ...
end

Then mount the middleware in your app, like:

require 'rollbar/middleware/sinatra'

class MyApp < Sinatra::Base
  use Rollbar::Middleware::Sinatra
  # other middleware/etc
  # ...
end

Rack

Initialize Rollbar with your access token somewhere during startup:

Rollbar.configure do |config|
  config.access_token = 'POST_SERVER_ITEM_ACCESS_TOKEN'
  # other configuration settings
  # ...
end

Be sure to replace POST_SERVER_ITEM_ACCESS_TOKEN with your project's post_server_item access token, which you can find in the Rollbar.com interface.

The gem monkey patches Rack::Builder so Rollbar reports will be sent automatically without any other action. If you prefer to disable the monkey patch apply this change to your config:

Rollbar.configure do |config|
  config.disable_rack_monkey_patch = true
  # other configuration settings
  # ...
end

If you disabled the Rack::Builder monkey patch or it doesn't work for the Rack framework you are using, then add our Rack middleware to your app:

require 'rollbar/middleware/rack'

use Rollbar::Middleware::Rack

Plain Ruby

Rollbar isn't dependent on Rack or Rails for most of its functionality. In a regular script, assuming you've installed the rollbar gem:

Require rollbar
Configure rollbar
Send Rollbar data

require 'rollbar'

Rollbar.configure do |config|
  config.access_token = "POST_SERVER_ITEM_ACCESS_TOKEN"
  # Other Configuration Settings
end

Rollbar.debug("Running Script")

begin
  run_script ARGV
rescue Exception => e # Never rescue Exception *unless* you re-raise in rescue body
  Rollbar.error(e)
  raise e
end

Rollbar.info("Script ran successfully")

Integration with Rollbar.js

In case you want to report your JavaScript errors using Rollbar.js, you can configure the gem to enable Rollbar.js on your site. Example:

Rollbar.configure do |config|
  # common gem configuration
  # ...
  config.js_enabled = true
  config.js_options = {
    accessToken: "POST_CLIENT_ITEM_ACCESS_TOKEN",
    captureUncaught: true,
    payload: {
      environment: "production"
    }
  }
end

The Hash passed to #js_options= should have the same available options that you can find in Rollbar.js, using symbols or strings for the keys.

Test your installation

If you're not using Rails, you may first need to add the following to your Rakefile:

require 'rollbar/rake_tasks'

You may also need to add an :environment task to your Rakefile if you haven't already defined one. At a bare minimum, this task should call Rollbar.configure() and set your access token.

task :environment do
  Rollbar.configure do |config |
    config.access_token = '...'
  end
end

To confirm that it worked, run:

$ rake rollbar:test

This will raise an exception within a test request; if it works, you'll see a stacktrace in the console, and the exception will appear in the Rollbar dashboard.

Usage

Uncaught exceptions

Uncaught exceptions in Rails controllers will be automatically reported to Rollbar.

Caught exceptions and messages

You can use one of Rollbar.log(level, ...), Rollbar.debug(), Rollbar.info(), Rollbar.warning(), Rollbar.error() and Rollbar.critical() to report exceptions and messages.

The methods accept any number of arguments. The last exception is used as the reported exception, the last string is used as the message/description, and the last hash is used as the extra data.

For example:

begin
  result = user_info[:key1][:key2][:key3]
rescue NoMethodError => e
  # simple exception report (level can be 'debug', 'info', 'warning', 'error' and 'critical')
  Rollbar.log('error', e)

  # same functionality as above
  Rollbar.error(e)

  # with a description
  Rollbar.error(e, 'The user info hash doesn\'t contain the correct data')

  # with extra data giving more insight about the exception
  Rollbar.error(e, :user_info => user_info, :job_id => job_id)
end

You can also log individual messages:

Rollbar.warning('Unexpected input')

# can also include extra data
Rollbar.info("Login successful", :username => @username)

Rollbar.log('debug', 'Settings saved', :account_id => account.id)

Reporting form validation errors

To get form validation errors automatically reported to Rollbar just add the following after_validation callback to your models:

after_validation :report_validation_errors_to_rollbar

Advanced usage

You can use Rollbar.scope() to copy a notifier instance and customize the payload data for one-off reporting. The hash argument to scope() will be merged into the copied notifier's "payload options", a hash that will be merged into the final payload just before it is reported to Rollbar.

For example:

while job
  user = job.user

  # Overwrites any existing person data
  notifier = Rollbar.scope({
    :person => {:id => user.id, :username => user.username, :email => user.email}
  })

  begin
    job.do_work
  rescue => e
    # Sends a report with the above person data
    notifier.critical(e)
  end

  job = next_job
end

# Wipe person data
notifier = notifier.scope({
  :person => nil
})

# No associated person data
notifier.info('Jobs processed')

If you don't want to work with a new Notifier instance .scoped will do it for you:

while job
  user = job.user

  # Overwrites any existing person data
  scope = {
    :person => {:id => user.id, :username => user.username, :email => user.email}
  }

  Rollbar.scoped(scope) do
    begin
      job.do_work
    rescue => e
      # Sends a report with the above person data
      Rollbar.critical(e)
    end
  end

  job = next_job
end

To modify the current scope (rather than creating a new one), use Rollbar.scope!. You can use this to add additional context data from inside a web request, background job, etc.

class NotificationJob
  include Sidekiq::Worker

  def perform(user_id)
    Rollbar.scope!(:person => { :id => :user_id })

    # If this next line causes an exception, the reported exception (which will
    # be reported by Rollbar's standard Sidekiq instrumentation) will also
    # include the above person information.
    Notification.send_to_user(user_id)
  end
end

Person tracking

Rollbar will send information about the current user (called a "person" in Rollbar parlance) along with each error report, when available. This works by calling the current_user controller method. The return value should be an object with an id method and, optionally, username and email methods.

This will happen automatically for uncaught Rails exceptions and for any manual exception or log reporting done within a Rails request.

If the gem should call a controller method besides current_user, add the following in config/initializers/rollbar.rb:

Rollbar.configure do |config|
  config.person_method = "my_current_user"
end

If the methods to extract the id, username, and email from the object returned by the person_method have other names, configure like so in config/initializers/rollbar.rb:

Rollbar.configure do |config|
  config.person_id_method = "user_id"  # default is "id"
  config.person_username_method = "user_name"  # default is "username"
  config.person_email_method = "email_address"  # default is "email"
end

Person tracking with Rack applications

To track information about the current user in non-Rails applications, you can populate the rollbar.person_data key in the Rack environment with the desired data. Its value should be a hash like:

{
  :id => "123",  # required; string up to 40 characters
  :username => "adalovelace",  # optional; string up to 255 characters
  :email => "[email protected]"  # optional; string up to 255 characters
}

Because Rack applications can vary so widely, we don't provide a default implementation in the gem, but here is an example middleware:

class RollbarPersonData
  def initialize(app)
    @app = app
  end

  def call(env)
    token = Rack::Request.new(env).params['token']
    user = User.find_by_token(token)

    if user
      env['rollbar.person_data'] = extract_person_data(user)
    end

    @app.call(env)
  end

  def extract_person_data(user)
    {
      id: user.id,
      username: user.username,
      email: user.email
    }
  end
end

# You can add the middleware to your application, for example:

require 'rollbar/middleware/sinatra'

class App < Sinatra::Base
  use Rollbar::Middleware::Sinatra
  use RollbarPersonData

  # ...
  # ...
end

Special note about reporting within a request

The gem instantiates one Notifier instance on initialization, which will be the base notifier that is used for all reporting (via a method_missing proxy in the Rollbar module). Calling Rollbar.configure() will configure this base notifier that will be used globally in a ruby app.

However, the Rails middleware will actually scope this base notifier for use within a request by storing it in thread-local storage (see here). This is done to make any manual logging within a request automatically contain request and person data. Calling Rollbar.configure() therefore will only affect the notifier for the duration of the request, and not the base notifier used globally.

Data sanitization (scrubbing)

By default, the notifier will "scrub" the following fields from payloads before sending to Rollbar

:passwd
:password
:password_confirmation
:secret
:confirm_password
:secret_token

And the following http header

"Authorization"

If a request contains one of these fields, the value will be replaced with a "*" before being sent.

Additional params can be scrubbed by updating config.scrub_fields:

# scrub out the "user_password" field
config.scrub_fields |= [:user_password]

And config.scrub_headers:

# scrub out the "X-Access-Token" http header
config.scrub_headers |= ["X-Access-Token"]

If you want to obfuscate the user IP reported to the Rollbar API you can configure a secret to do it and a different IP address from the original will be reported:

Rollbar.configuration.user_ip_obfuscator_secret = "a-private-secret-here"

The fields in scrub_fields will be used to scrub the values for the matching keys in the GET, POST, raw body and route params and also in cookies and session. If you want to customize better exactly which part of the request data is scrubbed you can use the Transform hook.

Example:

config.transform << proc do |options|
  data = options[:payload]['data']
  data[:request][:session][:key] = Rollbar::Scrubbers.scrub_value(data[:request][:session][:key])
end

In the previous example we are scrubbing the key value inside the session data.

If you would simply like to scrub all params, you can use :scrub_all like so:

config.scrub_fields = :scrub_all

Including additional runtime data

You can provide a callable that will be called for each exception or message report. custom_data_method should be a lambda that takes no arguments and returns a hash.

Add the following in config/initializers/rollbar.rb:

config.custom_data_method = lambda {
  { :some_key => :some_value, :complex_key => {:a => 1, :b => [2, 3, 4]} }
}

This data will appear in the Occurrences tab and on the Occurrence Detail pages in the Rollbar interface.

If your custom_data_method crashes while reporting an error, Rollbar will report that new error and will attach its uuid URL to the parent error report.

Exception level filters

By default, all uncaught exceptions are reported at the "error" level, except for the following, which are reported at "warning" level:

ActiveRecord::RecordNotFound
AbstractController::ActionNotFound
ActionController::RoutingError

If you'd like to customize this list, modify the example code in config/initializers/rollbar.rb. Supported levels: "critical", "error", "warning", "info", "debug", "ignore". Set to "ignore" to cause the exception not to be reported at all. For example, to ignore 404s and treat NoMethodErrors as critical bugs, you can use the following code:

config.exception_level_filters.merge!({
  'ActionController::RoutingError' => 'ignore',
  'NoMethodError' => 'critical'
})

This behavior applies to uncaught exceptions, not direct calls to Rollbar.error(), Rollbar.warning(), etc. If you are making a direct call to one of the log methods and want exception level filters to apply, pass an extra keyword argument:

Rollbar.error(exception, :use_exception_level_filters => true)

Dynamic levels

You can also specify a callable object (any object that responds to call) which will be called with the exception instance. For example, you can have a single error reported at different levels using the following code:

config.exception_level_filters.merge!({
  'SomeError' => lambda { |error| error.to_s.include?('not serious enough') ? 'info' : 'error' }
})

Before process hook

Before we process data sent to Rollbar.log (or Rollbar.error/info/etc.) to build and send the payload, the gem will call the handlers defined in configuration.before_process. This handlers should be Proc objects or objects responding to #call method. The received argument is a Hash object with these keys:

level: the level used for the report.
exception: the exception that caused the report, if any.
message: the message to use for the report, if any.
extra: extra data passed to the report methods.
scope: the current Scope; see Scope

If the exception Rollbar::Ignore is raised inside any of the handlers defined for configuration.before_process, we'll ignore the report and not send it to the API. For example:

handler = proc do |options|
  raise Rollbar::Ignore if any_smart_method(options)
end

Rollbar.configure do |config|
  config.before_process << handler
end

Transform hook

After the payload is built but before it it sent to our API, the gem will call the handlers defined in configuration.transform. This handlers should be Proc objects or objects responding to #call method. The received argument is a Hash object with these keys:

level: the level used for the report.
exception: the exception that caused the report, if any.
message: the message to use for the report, if any.
extra: extra data passed to the report methods.
scope: the current Scope; see Scope
payload: the built payload that will be sent to the API

Handlers may mutate the payload. For example:

handler = proc do |options|
  payload = options[:payload]

  payload['data']['environment'] = 'foo'
end

Rollbar.configure do |config|
  config.transform << handler
end

The Scope

The scope an object, an instance of Rollbar::LazyStore that stores the current context data for a certain moment or situation. For example, the Rails middleware defines the scope in a way similar to this:

scope = {request: request_data,
         person: person_data,
         context: context_data
}
Rollbar.scoped(scope) do
  begin
    @app.call(env)
  rescue Exception => exception
    # ...
  end
end

You can access the scope on the before_process and transform hooks like this:

your_handler = proc do |options|
  scope = options[:scope]

  request_data = scope[:request]
  person_data = scope[:person]
  context_data = scope[:context]
end

Override configuration

There are some cases where you would need to change the Rollbar configuration for a specific block of code so a new configuration is used on the reported errors in that block. You can use Rollbar.with_config to do this. It receives a Hash object with the configuration overrides you want to use for the given block. The configuration options to use can be read at Configuration. So the Hash passed to with_config can be like {environment: 'specific-environment'}. Example:

Rollbar.with_config(use_async: false) do
  begin
    # do work that may crash
  rescue => e
    Rollbar.error(e)
  end
end

This method looks similar to Rollbar.scoped and internally Rollbar.with_config uses it. Now Rollbar.scoped can receive a second argument with the config overrides for the given block of code. So if you need to set a new payload scope and new config for a code block, you can:

scope = {context: 'foo'}
new_config = {framework: 'Sinatra'}

Rollbar.scoped(scope, new_config) do
  begin
    # do work that may crash
  rescue => e
    Rollbar.error(e)
  end
end

In the example from above we are defining a new payload scope and overriding the framework configuration for the reported errors inside the given block.

Code and context

By default we send the following values for each backtrace frame: filename, lineno and method. You can configure Rollbar to additionally send code (the actual line of code) and context (lines before and after) for each frame.

Since the backtrace can be very long, you can configure to send this data for all the frames or only your in-project frames. There are three levels: :none (default), :app (only your project files) and :all. Example:

Rollbar.configure do |config|
   config.send_extra_frame_data = :app
end

Silencing exceptions at runtime

If you just want to disable exception reporting for a single block, use Rollbar.silenced:

Rollbar.silenced {
  foo = bar  # will not be reported
}

Sending backtrace without rescued exceptions

If you use the gem in this way:

exception = MyException.new('this is a message')
Rollbar.error(exception)

You will notice a backtrace doesn't appear in your Rollbar dashboard. This is because exception.backtrace is nil in these cases. We can send the current backtrace for you even if your exception doesn't have it. In order to enable this feature you should configure Rollbar in this way:

Rollbar.configure do |config|
  config.populate_empty_backtraces = true
end

ActiveJob integration

Include the module Rollbar::ActiveJob in you jobs to report any uncaught errors in a job to Rollbar.

class YourAwesomeJob < ActiveJob::Base
  include Rollbar::ActiveJob
end

If you need to customize the reporting write your own rescue_from handler instead of using the Rollbar::ActiveJob module.

Note: If you're using Sidekiq and integrate ActiveJob, you may get double reports of background job errors in Rollbar. The way to avoid this is to rely on the Sidekiq error handling, not ActiveJob in this case.

Delayed::Job

If delayed_job is defined, Rollbar will automatically install a plugin that reports any uncaught exceptions that occur in jobs.

By default, the job's data will be included in the report. If you want to disable this functionality to prevent sensitive data from possibly being sent, use the following configuration option:

config.report_dj_data = false # default is true

You can also change the threshold of job retries that must occur before a job is reported to Rollbar:

config.dj_threshold = 2 # default is 0

If you use custom jobs that define their own hooks to report exceptions, please consider disabling our plugin. Not doing so will result in duplicate exceptions being reported as well as lack of control when exceptions should be reported. To disable our Delayed::Job plugin, add the following line after the Rollbar.configure block.

config.delayed_job_enabled = false

Only versions >= 3.0 of delayed_job are supported.

Asynchronous reporting

By default, all messages are reported synchronously. You can enable asynchronous reporting with girl_friday, sucker_punch, Sidekiq, Resque, DelayedJob or using threading.

girl_friday

Add the following in config/initializers/rollbar.rb:

config.use_async = true

Asynchronous reporting falls back to Threading if girl_friday is not installed.

sucker_punch

Add the following in config/initializers/rollbar.rb:

config.use_sucker_punch

Sidekiq

Add the following in config/initializers/rollbar.rb:

config.use_sidekiq

The default Sidekiq queue will be rollbar but you can also supply custom Sidekiq options:

config.use_sidekiq 'queue' => 'default'

You also need to add the name of the queue to your sidekiq.yml

:queues:
- default
- rollbar

Start the redis server:

$ redis-server

Start Sidekiq from the root directory of your Rails app and declare the name of your queue. Unless you've configured otherwise, the queue name is "rollbar":

$ bundle exec sidekiq -q rollbar

For every errored job a new report will be sent to Rollbar API, also for errored retried jobs. You can configure the retries threshold to start reporting to rollbar:

config.sidekiq_threshold = 3 # Start reporting from 3 retries jobs

Resque

Add the following in config/initializers/rollbar.rb:

config.use_resque

You can also supply a custom Resque queue:

config.use_resque :queue => 'my_queue'

Now you can just start a new Resque worker processing jobs in that queue:

$ QUEUE=my_queue bundle exec resque:work

DelayedJob

Add the following in config/initializers/rollbar.rb:

config.use_delayed_job

By default, an unnamed queue is used for processing jobs. If you wish to use a named queue, as described here, pass the name of the queue as an option in the configuraton:

config.use_delayed_job :queue => 'my_queue'

Threading

Add the following in config/initializers/rollbar.rb:

config.use_thread

Other handlers

You can supply your own handler using config.async_handler. The object to set for async_handler should respond to #call and receive the payload. The handler should schedule the payload for later processing (i.e. with a delayed_job, in a resque queue, etc.) and should itself return immediately. For example:

config.use_async = true
config.async_handler = Proc.new { |payload|
  Thread.new { Rollbar.process_from_async_handler(payload) }
}

Make sure you pass payload to Rollbar.process_from_async_handler in your own implementation.

Failover handlers

If you are using async_handler to process asynchronous the error it's possible that the handler fails before it calls Rollbar.process_payload. For example, for the Resque handler, the Redis connection could fail so the job is finally not processed.

To ensure that the error is sent you can define a chain of failover handlers that Rollbar will use to send the payload in case that the primary handler fails. The failover handlers, as for async_handler, are just objects responding to #call.

To configure the failover handlers you can add the following:

config.use_resque
config.failover_handlers = [Rollbar::Delay::GirlFriday, Rollbar::Delay::Thread]

With the configuration above Resque will be your primary asynchronous handler but if it fails queueing the job Rollbar will use GirlFriday at first, and just a thread in case that GirlFriday fails too.

Logger interface

The gem provides a class Rollbar::Logger that inherits from Logger so you can use Rollbar to log your application messages. The basic usage is:

require 'rollbar/logger'

logger = Rollbar::Logger.new
logger.info('Purchase failed!')

If you are using Rails you can extend your Rails.logger so the log messages are sent to both outputs. You can use this snippet in one initializer (for example, config/initializers/rollbar.rb):

require 'rollbar/logger'

Rails.logger.extend(ActiveSupport::Logger.broadcast(Rollbar::Logger.new))

Using with rollbar-agent

For even more asynchrony, you can configure the gem to write to a file instead of sending the payload to Rollbar servers directly. rollbar-agent can then be hooked up to this file to actually send the payload across. To enable, add the following in config/initializers/rollbar.rb:

config.write_to_file = true
# optional, defaults to "#{AppName}.rollbar"
config.filepath = '/path/to/file.rollbar' #should end in '.rollbar' for use with rollbar-agent

For this to work, you'll also need to set up rollbar-agent--see its docs for details.

Rails booting process

Rails doesn't provide a way to hook into its booting process, so we can't catch errors during boot out of the box. To report these errors to Rollbar, make the following changes to your project files.

First, move your config/initializers/rollbar.rb file to config/rollbar.rb. Then be sure your config/environment.rb looks similar to this:

# config/environment.rb

require File.expand_path('../application', __FILE__)
require File.expand_path('../rollbar', __FILE__)

begin
  Rails.application.initialize!
rescue Exception => e
  Rollbar.error(e)
  raise
end

How this works: first, Rollbar config (which is now at config/rollbar.rb is required). Later, Rails.application/initialize statement is wrapped with a begin/rescue and any exceptions within will be reported to Rollbar.

Rails runner command

We aren't able to instrument rails runner directly, but we do provide a wrapper, rollbar-rails-runner, which you can use to capture errors when running commands in a rails runner-like way. For example:

$ bundle exec rollbar-rails-runner 'puts User.count'
45

If an error occurs during that command, the exception will be reported to Rollbar.

Deploy Tracking with Capistrano

Capistrano 3

Add to your Capfile:

require 'rollbar/capistrano3'

And then, to your deploy.rb:

set :rollbar_token, 'POST_SERVER_ITEM_ACCESS_TOKEN'
set :rollbar_env, Proc.new { fetch :stage }
set :rollbar_role, Proc.new { :app }

NOTE: We've seen problems with Capistrano version 3.0.x where the revision reported is incorrect. Version 3.1.0 and higher works correctly.

Capistrano 2

Add the following to deploy.rb:

require 'rollbar/capistrano'
set :rollbar_token, 'POST_SERVER_ITEM_ACCESS_TOKEN'

Available options:

rollbar_token: The same project access token as you used for the ```rails generate rollbar``` command; find it in ```config/initializers/rollbar.rb```. (It's repeated here for performance reasons, so the rails environment doesn't have to be initialized.)
rollbar_env: Deploy environment name
Default: rails_env

For capistrano/multistage, try:

set(:rollbar_env) { stage }

Counting specific gems as in-project code

In the Rollbar interface, stacktraces are shown with in-project code expanded and other code collapsed. Stack frames are counted as in-project if they occur in a file that is inside of the configuration.root (automatically set to Rails.root if you're using Rails). The collapsed sections can be expanded by clicking on them.

If you want code from some specific gems to start expanded as well, you can configure this in config/initializers/rollbar.rb:

Rollbar.configure do |config |
  config.access_token = '...'
  config.project_gems = ['my_custom_gem', 'my_other_gem']
end

Goalie

If you're using Goalie for custom error pages, you may need to explicitly add require 'goalie' to config/application.rb (in addition to require 'goalie/rails') so that the monkeypatch will work. (This will be obvious if it is needed because your app won't start up: you'll see a cryptic error message about Goalie::CustomErrorPages.render_exception not being defined.)

Resque

From a time ago, Resque errors reporting was supported by the gem resque-rollbar. Now that functionality is built-in in the own gem. All you need to do is use Resque::Failure::Rollbar as the failure backend for Resque.

In your resque configuration add next lines:

require 'resque/failure/multiple'
require 'resque/failure/redis'
require 'rollbar'

Resque::Failure::Multiple.classes = [ Resque::Failure::Redis, Resque::Failure::Rollbar ]
Resque::Failure.backend = Resque::Failure::Multiple

SSL

By default we use OpenSSL::SSL::VERIFY_PEER for SSL very mode. Although we don't recommend change it, you can disable peer verification in case you experience SSL connection problems:

Rollbar.configure do |config|
  config.verify_ssl_peer = false
end

Using with Zeus

Some users have reported problems with Zeus when rake was not explicitly included in their Gemfile. If the zeus server fails to start after installing the rollbar gem, try explicitly adding gem 'rake' to your Gemfile. See this thread for more information.

Configuration options

For a listing of all configuration options available, see configuration.

Plugins

The support for the different frameworks and libraries is organized into different plugin definitions. The plugins architecture documentation can be found in Plugins.

Backwards Compatibility

You can find upgrading notes in UPGRADING.md.

Known Issues

If you are using jRuby with Oracle and JDK7, you may be expecting some errors sending reports to our API. This is caused by a bug in that JDK and the primer number used in the SSL algorithm. In order to fix this you can set the next configuration:

Rollbar.configure do|config|
  config.endpoint = 'https://api-alt.rollbar.com/api/1/item/'
end

Supported Language/Framework Versions

We support Ruby >= 1.8.7.
