Status Pages

Keep your customers informed during an outage

Automatically updates when issues are detected
Reduces support tickets during incidents
Professional status page with your domain and branding

Learn more about Status Pages

An uptime monitoring status page for a application showing current performance metrics and recent availability history. The status page interface displays "App" with "Last checked 2 minutes ago" alongside key performance indicators: 77ms average response time and 99% uptime over the past 7 days. The 24-hour timeline for the last day in the chart is predominantly green (indicating normal operation) with a small red segment near the end signaling a recent outage. — When an uptime check fails, we alert you and update your status page automatically.

Getting started is easy

Setup takes just a few minutes and comes with great defaults.

Select your web framework:

Installing Honeybadger in a Rails app is just a few terminal commands:

$ bundle add honeybadger
$ bundle exec honeybadger install [API KEY]

That’s it. See the developer docs for the latest instructions.

First, install the honeybadger-laravel package via composer:

composer require honeybadger-io/honeybadger-laravel

Next, enable error reporting by adding the following to bootstrap/app.php:

->withExceptions(function (Exceptions $exceptions) {
  $exceptions->report(static function (Throwable $e) {
      if (app()->bound('honeybadger')) {
          app('honeybadger')->notify($e, app('request'));
      }
  });
})

Finally, run the honeybadger:install artisan command to configure your API key and report a test error.

php artisan honeybadger:install "API KEY"

That’s it. See the developer docs for the latest instructions.

Installing Honeybadger in a Phoenix app is just a few lines of code:

# mix.exs
defp deps do
  [{:honeybadger, "~> 0.24"}]
end

# config/config.exs
config :honeybadger,
  api_key: "Honeybadger API key",
  environment_name: config_env(),
  insights_enabled: true # Enable logging and performance insights

# lib/myapp_web/router.ex
defmodule MyappWeb.Router do
  use MyappWeb, :router
  use Honeybadger.Plug

  pipeline :browser do
    [...]
  end
end

Then run:

$ mix do deps.get, deps.compile

That’s it. See the developer docs for the latest instructions.

First, install the honeybadger package with pip:

pip install honeybadger

Then add the Honeybadger Django middleware to the top of your MIDDLEWARE config variable:

MIDDLEWARE = [
  'honeybadger.contrib.django.middleware.HoneybadgerMiddleware',
  ...
]

You’ll also need to add a new HONEYBADGER config variable to your settings.py to specify your API key:

HONEYBADGER = {
  'API_KEY': 'Your project API key'
}

That’s it. See the developer docs for the latest instructions and additional frameworks.

To use our hosted CDN, place the following code between the <head></head> tags of your page:

<script
  src="//js.honeybadger.io/v6.12/honeybadger.min.js"
  type="text/javascript"
></script>

<script type="text/javascript">
  Honeybadger.configure({
    apiKey: "Your project API key",
    environment: "production",
  });
</script>

That’s it. See the developer docs for the latest instructions and additional frameworks.

First, install the @honeybadger-io/js npm package:

npm install @honeybadger-io/js --save

Then, require the honeybadger module and configure your API key:

const Honeybadger = require("@honeybadger-io/js");
Honeybadger.configure({
  apiKey: "Your project API key",
});

That’s it. See the developer docs for the latest instructions and additional frameworks.

Subject: Re: Uploading logs

Happy to help! And thanks for letting me know it (mostly) worked. I guess I have some debugging to do on that environment variable. :)

One last thing... make sure you run this to get Vector to start after a reboot:

sudo systemctl enable vector.service

I put that in the gist after I sent the last email to you, so you may have done that already, but you may not have, and it doesn't hurt to do it twice. :)

Oh, and about the log prefix you mentioned... look in config/environments/production.rb for config.log_tags and comment that out. That's probably what's adding that stuff to your logs.
