Getting started is easy
Installing Honeybadger in a Phoenix app is just a few lines of code:
# mix.exs
defp deps do
[{:honeybadger, "~> 0.22"}]
end
# config/config.exs
config :honeybadger,
api_key: "Honeybadger API key"
# lib/your_app/router.ex
defmodule YourApp.Router do
use YourApp, :router
use Honeybadger.Plug
pipeline :browser do
[...]
end
end
$ mix do deps.get, deps.compile
Once installed, Honeybadger automatically reports exceptions in controllers and background jobs and (when enabled) collects application logs and performance metrics.
