Datadog Notifier

Send Custom Errors from Rails application to Dadatdog Error Tracking Dashboard

Steps

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'datadog_notifier'

And then execute:

$ bundle install

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install datadog_notifier

Dependency

• Datadog must be integrated in the project before we use this gem

Quick Use

Send notification to datadog(Traces to add errors in Datadog)

DatadogNotifier.notify(exception, payload_json)

Here exception is the error same as we send for Airbrake i.e ErrorTracking.notify(exception) and payload_json is an optional parameter where we can pass the payload(json value) to share extra details in datadog error tracking

Error Tracking Dashboard link

• Error Tracking
• We can filter out these custom errors using @custom_dd_notifier:true as we are passing this custom_dd_notifier while sending custom errors to datadog.

Replace existing custom ErrorTracking with DatadogNotifier

We have kept DatadogNotifier signature same as other ErrorTracking services. This will help us to just search and replace all occurences. Just replace ErrorTracking.notify with DatadogNotifier.notify

Before: ErrorTracking.notify("ProductErrorForm: Error while scraping new product", error_params_json)
After: DatadogNotifier.notify("ProductErrorForm: Error while scraping new product", error_params_json)
