Faulty - a new error tracker
I recently released a new error tracker Faulty
, based largely on error_tracker
, but instead of hosting your errors locally it sends them to the accompanying FaultyTower website. Errors are tracked from Logger
and telemetry events
, integrations are available for Phoenix
, Plug
, Oban
and Quantum
.
Installation is as simple as mix igniter.install faulty
.
The FaultyTower website allows you to create users, organizations and projects within those organizations. You can be notified of new errors by e-mail, integration with ntfy.sh or Github issues.
