Detailed Error Reports

We save error details and provide you with the information to drill down to the root cause. Look at other occurrences of the same error to discover patterns. Tag errors with user IDs or anything else to make debugging easier, and add links back to your CRM to follow up on affected users.

What our customers think

1500+ development teams rely on AppSignal to ship code with confidence. We are sharing a few of their stories with you.

Previously, we were using Honeybadger, Skylight, and Datadog, but now we have all those apps in one: AppSignal, and that is awesome!

Oleg, Developer at Benuevo

Hey y’all, we’re back. Sentry was just chaos.

Matt, Developer at Supertape

The biggest benefit of using AppSignal is the native Elixir support. … AppSignal just knows how an Elixir app is structured and builds error tracking and performance monitoring around it.

We looked at Sentry, Datadog, and Honeybadger. AppSignal gave us everything in one tool for a fraction of the price.

Thilo Rusche, Developer at SportsKey

In New Relic, if you want more features, you have to upgrade… AppSignal’s pricing was easier to understand, and you get all the features for one price.

Devan Sabaratnam, Co-founder & CTO at HR Partner

Second to none support. It’s their developers themselves who are quickly and clearly answering any questions. It’s hard to overstate how nice this is.

Rule Out Other Causes

Is your host causing errors?

Sometimes issues are caused by your hosts running amok. That’s why we keep track of host metrics for each error sample. Discover when to optimize your infrastructure before blaming lines of code.

Jam-packed

Everything you need to resolve errors.

AppSignal is jam-packed with features that give you deep insights into your application’s errors. And we’re adding new ones all the time!

Background jobs

AppSignal tracks errors in all major background processors for Ruby such as Delayed job, Resque, Sidekiq. Plus your custom background job processors.

Link templates

Link directly from issues in AppSignal to your own systems by creating custom URLs (i.e. link to your admin panel based on a user ID).

Parameter filtering

Your data is safe in our European data centers. But, we’d still rather not receive any private data. We offer extensive options to filter sensitive data from ever being sent from your app.

Tag errors

Tag your errors with additional information to get deeper and more detailed insights in what’s causing them.

Want to prevent noise and exclude specific endpoints and jobs from being reported to AppSignal? Ignoring actions you care less about is easy.
