Ruby 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 Ruby—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 less than 5 minutes and comes with great Ruby defaults.

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

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

Once installed, Honeybadger automatically reports exceptions in controllers, background jobs, and rake tasks, and (when enabled) collects application logs and performance metrics.

Ruby Logging & Observability

Automatically captures Ruby logs and performance metrics

  • Get actionable intelligence from your logs
  • Dig into your error and performance data
  • Create custom charts and dashboards
Learn more about Logging & Observability
Six performance metric graphs for a web application: "API requests" shows stable request counts, "API response time" fluctuates with spikes, "Ingest throughput" varies with an upward trend, "Ingest performance" has peaks under 0.4 seconds, "Notifications throughput" demonstrates volatility, and "Notifications performance" maintains a steady average time around 0.18 seconds, all over 15-minute intervals. Options to edit queries suggest customizable monitoring.
Gain insights into your errors, application logs, and other event streams with a powerful query language and flexibile visualizations.

Ruby Uptime Monitoring

Watches your Ruby app externally and alerts you when it's down

  • Alerts you of outages as soon as they happen
  • Reminds you to renew your SSL certificates
  • Notifies you via Slack, PagerDuty, DataDog, Google Chat, and other tools you use

Ruby Status Pages

Keeps your customers informed during an outage

  • Shows your live service status
  • Builds trust with your users
  • Works with your domain
Learn more about Status Pages
An uptime monitoring status page for a web application showing current performance metrics and recent availability history. The 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 March 21 is predominantly green (indicating normal operation) with a small red segment near the end signaling a recent outage. Supporting this are two data visualizations: a response time graph showing fluctuations between 60-90ms over the past week, and a week overview with daily uptime bars showing complete availability from March 15-20, with only March 21 showing partial downtime represented by a red section at the bottom of its otherwise green status bar.
When an uptime check fails, we alert you and update your status page automatically.
