Overview ¶
Package bugsnag captures errors in real-time and reports them to Bugsnag (http://bugsnag.com).
Using bugsnag-go is a three-step process.
1. As early as possible in your program configure the notifier with your APIKey. This sets up handling of panics that would otherwise crash your app.
func init() { bugsnag.Configure(bugsnag.Configuration{ APIKey: "YOUR_API_KEY_HERE", }) }
2. Add bugsnag to places that already catch panics. For example you should add it to the HTTP server when you call ListenAndServer:
http.ListenAndServe(":8080", bugsnag.Handler(nil))
If that's not possible, for example because you're using Google App Engine, you can also wrap each HTTP handler manually:
http.HandleFunc("/" bugsnag.HandlerFunc(func (w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) { ... })
3. To notify Bugsnag of an error that is not a panic, pass it to bugsnag.Notify. This will also log the error message using the configured Logger.
if err != nil { bugsnag.Notify(err) }
For detailed integration instructions see https://bugsnag.com/docs/notifiers/go.
Configuration ¶
The only required configuration is the Bugsnag API key which can be obtained by clicking "Settings" on the top of https://bugsnag.com/ after signing up. We also recommend you set the ReleaseStage and AppVersion if these make sense for your deployment workflow.
RawData ¶
If you need to attach extra data to Bugsnag notifications you can do that using the rawData mechanism. Most of the functions that send errors to Bugsnag allow you to pass in any number of interface{} values as rawData. The rawData can consist of the Severity, Context, User or MetaData types listed below, and there is also builtin support for *http.Requests.
bugsnag.Notify(err, bugsnag.SeverityError)
If you want to add custom tabs to your bugsnag dashboard you can pass any value in as rawData, and then process it into the event's metadata using a bugsnag.OnBeforeNotify() hook.
bugsnag.Notify(err, account) bugsnag.OnBeforeNotify(func (e *bugsnag.Event, c *bugsnag.Configuration) { for datum := range e.RawData { if account, ok := datum.(Account); ok { e.MetaData.Add("account", "name", account.Name) e.MetaData.Add("account", "url", account.URL) } } })
If necessary you can pass Configuration in as rawData, or modify the Configuration object passed into OnBeforeNotify hooks. Configuration passed in this way only affects the current notification.

Constants ¶
const VERSION = "1.0.2"
The current version of bugsnag-go.
Variables ¶
var ( SeverityError = severity{"error"} SeverityWarning = severity{"warning"} SeverityInfo = severity{"info"} )
Sets the severity of the error on Bugsnag. These values can be passed to Notify, Recover or AutoNotify as rawData.
Functions ¶
func AutoNotify ¶
func AutoNotify(rawData ...interface{})
AutoNotify logs a panic on a goroutine and then repanics. It should only be used in places that have existing panic handlers further up the stack. See bugsnag.Recover(). The rawData is used to send extra information along with any panics that are handled this way. Usage: defer bugsnag.AutoNotify()
Example ¶
return func(w http.ResponseWriter, request *http.Request) { defer AutoNotify(request, Context{"createAccount"}) createAccount(w, request) }
Output:
func Configure ¶
func Configure(config Configuration)
Configure Bugsnag. The only required setting is the APIKey, which can be obtained by clicking on "Settings" in your Bugsnag dashboard. This function is also responsible for installing the global panic handler, so it should be called as early as possible in your initialization process.
Example ¶
Configure(Configuration{ APIKey: "YOUR_API_KEY_HERE", ReleaseStage: "production", // See Configuration{} for other fields })
Output:
func Handler ¶
Handler creates an http Handler that notifies Bugsnag any panics that happen. It then repanics so that the default http Server panic handler can handle the panic too. The rawData is used to send extra information along with any panics that are handled this way.
Example ¶
// Set up your http handlers as usual http.HandleFunc("/", handleGet) // use bugsnag.Handler(nil) to wrap the default http handlers // so that Bugsnag is automatically notified about panics. http.ListenAndServe(":1234", Handler(nil))
Output:
Example (CustomHandlers) ¶
// If you're using custom handlers, wrap the handlers explicitly. handler := http.NewServeMux() http.HandleFunc("/", handleGet) // use bugsnag.Handler(handler) to wrap the handlers so that Bugsnag is // automatically notified about panics http.ListenAndServe(":1234", Handler(handler))
Output:
Example (CustomServer) ¶
// If you're using a custom server, set the handlers explicitly. http.HandleFunc("/", handleGet) srv := http.Server{ Addr: ":1234", ReadTimeout: 10 * time.Second, // use bugsnag.Handler(nil) to wrap the default http handlers // so that Bugsnag is automatically notified about panics. Handler: Handler(nil), } srv.ListenAndServe()
Output:
func HandlerFunc ¶
func HandlerFunc(h http.HandlerFunc, rawData ...interface{}) http.HandlerFunc
HandlerFunc creates an http HandlerFunc that notifies Bugsnag about any panics that happen. It then repanics so that the default http Server panic handler can handle the panic too. The rawData is used to send extra information along with any panics that are handled this way. If you have already wrapped your http server using bugsnag.Handler() you don't also need to wrap each HandlerFunc.
func Notify ¶
Notify sends an error to Bugsnag along with the current stack trace. The rawData is used to send extra information along with the error. For example you can pass the current http.Request to Bugsnag to see information about it in the dashboard, or set the severity of the notification.
Example ¶
_, err := net.Listen("tcp", ":80") if err != nil { Notify(err) }
Output:
func OnBeforeNotify ¶
func OnBeforeNotify(callback func(event *Event, config *Configuration) error)
OnBeforeNotify adds a callback to be run before a notification is sent to Bugsnag. It can be used to modify the event or its MetaData. Changes made to the configuration are local to notifying about this event. To prevent the event from being sent to Bugsnag return an error, this error will be returned from bugsnag.Notify() and the event will not be sent.
Example ¶
OnBeforeNotify(func(event *Event, config *Configuration) error { // Search all the RawData for any *Job pointers that we're passed in // to bugsnag.Notify() and friends. for _, datum := range event.RawData { if job, ok := datum.(*Job); ok { // don't notify bugsnag about errors in retries if job.Retry { return fmt.Errorf("bugsnag middleware: not notifying about job retry") } // add the job as a tab on Bugsnag.com event.MetaData.AddStruct("Job", job) // set the user correctly event.User = &User{Id: job.UserId, Email: job.UserEmail} } } // continue notifying as normal return nil })
Output:
Types ¶
type Configuration ¶
type Configuration struct { // Your Bugsnag API key, e.g. "c9d60ae4c7e70c4b6c4ebd3e8056d2b8". You can // find this by clicking Settings on https://bugsnag.com/. APIKey string // The Endpoint to notify about crashes. This defaults to // "https://notify.bugsnag.com/", if you're using Bugsnag Enterprise then // set it to your internal Bugsnag endpoint. Endpoint string // The current release stage. This defaults to "production" and is used to // filter errors in the Bugsnag dashboard. ReleaseStage string // The currently running version of the app. This is used to filter errors // in the Bugsnag dasboard. If you set this then Bugsnag will only re-open // resolved errors if they happen in different app versions. AppVersion string // The hostname of the current server. This defaults to the return value of // os.Hostname() and is graphed in the Bugsnag dashboard. Hostname string // The Release stages to notify in. If you set this then bugsnag-go will // only send notifications to Bugsnag if the ReleaseStage is listed here. NotifyReleaseStages []string // packages that are part of your app. Bugsnag uses this to determine how // to group errors and how to display them on your dashboard. You should // include any packages that are part of your app, and exclude libraries // and helpers. You can list wildcards here, and they'll be expanded using // filepath.Glob. The default value is []string{"main*"} ProjectPackages []string // Any meta-data that matches these filters will be marked as [REDACTED] // before sending a Notification to Bugsnag. It defaults to // []string{"password", "secret"} so that request parameters like password, // password_confirmation and auth_secret will not be sent to Bugsnag. ParamsFilters []string // The PanicHandler is used by Bugsnag to catch unhandled panics in your // application. The default panicHandler uses mitchellh's panicwrap library, // and you can disable this feature by passing an empty: func() {} PanicHandler func() // The logger that Bugsnag should log to. Uses the same defaults as go's // builtin logging package. bugsnag-go logs whenever it notifies Bugsnag // of an error, and when any error occurs inside the library itself. Logger *log.Logger // The http Transport to use, defaults to the default http Transport. This // can be configured if you are in an environment like Google App Engine // that has stringent conditions on making http requests. Transport http.RoundTripper // Whether bugsnag should notify synchronously. This defaults to false which // causes bugsnag-go to spawn a new goroutine for each notification. Synchronous bool }
Configuration sets up and customizes communication with the Bugsnag API.
var Config Configuration
The configuration for the default bugsnag notifier.
type Context ¶
type Context struct {
String string
}
Context is the context of the error in Bugsnag. This can be passed to Notify, Recover or AutoNotify as rawData.
type Event ¶
type Event struct { // The original error that caused this event, not sent to Bugsnag. Error *errors.Error // The rawData affecting this error, not sent to Bugsnag. RawData []interface{} // The error class to be sent to Bugsnag. This defaults to the type name of the Error, for // example *error.String ErrorClass string // The error message to be sent to Bugsnag. This defaults to the return value of Error.Error() Message string // The stacktrrace of the error to be sent to Bugsnag. Stacktrace []stackFrame // The context to be sent to Bugsnag. This should be set to the part of the app that was running, // e.g. for http requests, set it to the path. Context string // The severity of the error. Can be SeverityError, SeverityWarning or SeverityInfo. Severity severity // The grouping hash is used to override Bugsnag's grouping. Set this if you'd like all errors with // the same grouping hash to group together in the dashboard. GroupingHash string // User data to send to Bugsnag. This is searchable on the dashboard. User *User // Other MetaData to send to Bugsnag. Appears as a set of tabbed tables in the dashboard. MetaData MetaData }
Event represents a payload of data that gets sent to Bugsnag. This is passed to each OnBeforeNotify hook.
type MetaData ¶
MetaData is added to the Bugsnag dashboard in tabs. Each tab is a map of strings -> values. You can pass MetaData to Notify, Recover and AutoNotify as rawData.
Example ¶
notifier.Notify(errors.Errorf("hi world"), MetaData{"Account": { "id": account.ID, "name": account.Name, "paying?": account.Plan.Premium, }})
Output:
func (MetaData) Add ¶
Add creates a tab of Bugsnag meta-data. If the tab doesn't yet exist it will be created. If the key already exists, it will be overwritten.
type Notifier ¶
type Notifier struct { Config *Configuration RawData []interface{} }
Notifier sends errors to Bugsnag.
func New ¶
func New(rawData ...interface{}) *Notifier
New creates a new notifier. You can pass an instance of bugsnag.Configuration in rawData to change the configuration. Other values of rawData will be passed to Notify.
func (*Notifier) AutoNotify ¶
func (notifier *Notifier) AutoNotify(rawData ...interface{})
AutoNotify notifies Bugsnag of any panics, then repanics. It sends along any rawData that gets passed in. Usage: defer AutoNotify()
type User ¶
type User struct { Id string `json:"id,omitempty"` Name string `json:"name,omitempty"` Email string `json:"email,omitempty"` }
User represents the searchable user-data on Bugsnag. The Id is also used to determine the number of users affected by a bug. This can be passed to Notify, Recover or AutoNotify as rawData.
