Using Errplane metrics to set up custom thresholding on exception notifications

gistfile1.rb

Errplane.configure do |config|
  config.define_custom_exception_data do |black_box|
    if black_box.exception.class ==  ZeroDivisionError
      Errplane.report("important_exceptions/#{black_box.exception.class.to_s}")
    end

    # or just report on all of them and sort it out in the errplane web app
    Errplane.report("exception_classes/#{black_box.exception.class.to_s}", 
                    :message => "{Rails.env} - #{black_box.exception.class.to_s} - #{black_box.request_data.to_json}")

    # then you can set up alerts on important_exceptions as a whole, or on the individual classes
  end
end
