Installation

The Exceptional Rails plugin will work alongside any other exception management solution. Though it would be a good idea to remove them if you decide to use Exceptional to ensure the best possible performance.

You will need an account at getexceptional.com

Rails < 2.1
  1. Install : From the root folder of your Rails application, run the following command to download and install it:

cd vendor/plugins &&\

git clone git://github.com/contrast/exceptional.git &&\
rm -rf exceptional/.git &&\
cd ../.. &&\
ruby vendor/plugins/exceptional/install.rb
  1. Configure : This will copy an exceptional.yml config file in your RAILS_ROOT/config directory. Within exceptional.yml you need to configure your API Key. Your API Key is available from your account area at getexceptional.com

  2. Restart your application

  3. Check RAILS_ROOT/log/exceptional.log to ensure the Exceptional plugin is successfully enabled
