Airbrake Java

This is the notifier jar for integrating apps with Airbrake with Java Applications. Sign up for a Free or Paid account.

When an uncaught exception occurs, Airbrake will POST the relevant data to the Airbrake server specified in your environment.

The easy way to use airbrake is configuriong log4j appender. Otherwise if you don't use log4j you can use airbrake notifier directly with a very simple API.

Setting up with Maven

<project>
	<dependencies>
		<dependency>
  		<groupId>io.airbrake</groupId>
  		<artifactId>airbrake-java</artifactId>
  		<version>2.2.8</version>
		</dependency>
	</dependencies>
</project>

Without Maven

you need to add these libraries to your classpath

• airbrake-java-2.2.8
• log4j-1.2.14

Log4j

log4j.rootLogger=INFO, stdout, airbrake

log4j.appender.stdout=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender
log4j.appender.stdout.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.stdout.layout.ConversionPattern=[%d,%p] [%c{1}.%M:%L] %m%n

log4j.appender.airbrake=airbrake.AirbrakeAppender	
log4j.appender.airbrake.api_key=YOUR_AIRBRAKE_API_KEY
#log4j.appender.airbrake.env=development
#log4j.appender.airbrake.env=production
log4j.appender.airbrake.env=test
log4j.appender.airbrake.enabled=true
#log4j.appender.airbrake.url=http://api.airbrake.io/notifier_api/v2/notices

or in XML format:

<appender name="AIRBRAKE" class="airbrake.AirbrakeAppender">
	<param name="api_key" value="YOUR_AIRBRAKE_API_KEY"/>
	<param name="env" value="test"/>
	<param name="enabled" value="true"/>
<!-- <param name="url" value="http://api.airbrake.io/notifier_api/v2/notices" /> -->
</appender>

<root>
	<appender-ref ref="AIRBRAKE"/>
</root>

Directly

try {
	doSomethingThatThrowAnException();
}
catch(Throwable t) {
	AirbrakeNotice notice = new AirbrakeNoticeBuilder(YOUR_AIRBRAKE_API_KEY, t, "env").newNotice();
	AirbrakeNotifier notifier = new AirbrakeNotifier();
	notifier.notify(notice);
}

if you need to specifiy a different url to send notice you can create new notifier with this url:

try {
	doSomethingThatThrowAnException();
}
catch(Throwable t) {
	AirbrakeNotice notice = new AirbrakeNoticeBuilder(YOUR_AIRBRAKE_API_KEY, t, "env").newNotice();
	AirbrakeNotifier notifier = new AirbrakeNotifier("http://api.airbrake.io/notifier_api/v2/notices");
	notifier.notify(notice);
}
