Rollbar Error Tracking

BillaBear supports integration with Rollbar, a cloud-based error tracking service that helps you identify, track, and resolve errors in your application.

Configuration​

To enable Rollbar error logging in BillaBear, you need to configure the following environment variables:

Environment VariableDescription
ROLLBAR_ENABLEDSet to true to enable Rollbar error tracking, or false to disable it.
ROLLBAR_API_KEYYour Rollbar project access token, available from your Rollbar account dashboard.

How It Works​

When Rollbar is enabled:

  1. BillaBear automatically captures and reports errors and exceptions to your Rollbar dashboard
  2. Error reports include:
    • Stack traces
    • Request data
    • Environment information
    • User context (when available)

Best Practices​

  • Enable in Production: Rollbar is particularly valuable in production environments where direct access to logs may be limited
  • Set Notification Rules: Configure notification rules in your Rollbar dashboard to receive alerts for critical errors
  • Group Similar Errors: Use Rollbar's grouping features to organize similar errors
  • Track Deployment Changes: Configure deployment tracking to correlate errors with specific releases

Troubleshooting​

If errors are not appearing in your Rollbar dashboard:

  1. Verify that ROLLBAR_ENABLED is set to true
  2. Confirm that your ROLLBAR_API_KEY is correct
  3. Check your application logs for any issues with the Rollbar integration
  4. Ensure your server can connect to the Rollbar API endpoints
