Java Error Tracking & Performance Monitoring

Full stack monitoring for Java Developers

Ship better software, faster. Everything you need to fix Java errors and performance issues in one powerful platform that fits your workflow.

Java monitoring doesn't need to be so frustrating

That's why we built Honeybadger. Honeybadger simplifies your monitoring stack by combining all your essential monitoring tools in one powerful and easy-to-use platform for Java—helping you respond quickly and fix issues in record time.

Error Tracking

Know the moment errors occur and fix bugs before customers can report them.

Logging & Observability

See your logs in context and answer questions after the fact.

Uptime Monitoring

Know when your external services go down or have other problems.

Heartbeat Monitoring

Know when your cron jobs and services go missing or silently fail.

Status Pages

Keep customers in the loop when your app is down.

Getting started is easy

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

For example, here's how to install Honeybadger in a Spring Boot app:

// pom.xml
+ <dependency>
+     <groupId>io.honeybadger</groupId>
+     <artifactId>honeybadger-java</artifactId>
+     <version>LATEST</version>
+ </dependency>

// application.properties
ENV = production
honeybadger.api_key=your-honeybadger-api-key

Once installed, Honeybadger automatically reports unhandled errors.

Frequently Asked Questions

Got questions? We've got answers. Here are some common questions about Honeybadger for Java:

These are three distinct but complementary aspects of application monitoring:

  • Error Tracking focuses on capturing and managing exceptions and errors in your application. It helps you identify when and why your application fails and which users are affected, with detailed stack traces, context, and debugging information. Unlike some APM tools, Honeybadger notifies you about errors as soon as they happen and groups similar errors together to reduce notification fatigue.

  • Performance Monitoring tracks how your application performs over time, measuring metrics like response times, throughput, and resource utilization. It helps identify bottlenecks and optimize application speed. Honeybadger captures performance telemetry, which we use to power our automated dashboards. A key difference between Honeybadger and other APM tools is that we also give you direct access to the raw structured data in Honeybadger Insights, which is super powerful.

  • Logging provides a chronological record of events and messages in your application. It's useful for debugging, auditing, and understanding the flow of your application. In Honeybadger, logs are stored as structured events. While you can send any kind of log to Honeybadger, structured logging unlocks the full power of Honeybadger Insights, which allows you to query, transform, and visualize your data in real-time.

While each serves a different purpose, they work together to give you a complete picture of your application's health. Honeybadger provides tools for all three, and best of all, they're deeply integrated with each other to help you understand and fix issues faster.
