// End Rollbar Snippet
</script>If you're running Rollbar on an environment besides production, change the environment value to something else (e.g. "staging"). See below for more configuration options.
- Navigate your browser to a page that has the above code installed
- Type the following code into the console and press enter:
window.onerror("TestRollbarError: testing window.onerror", window.location.href)
This simulates an uncaught error. It should appear in the Rollbar dashboard within a few seconds.
In addition to catching top-level errors, you can send caught errors or custom log messages. All of the following methods are fully-asynchronous and safe to call anywhere in your code after the <script> tag above.
// Caught errors
try {
doSomething();
} catch (e) {
Rollbar.error("Something went wrong", e);
}
// Arbitrary log messages. 'critical' is most severe; 'debug' is least.
Rollbar.critical("Connection error from remote Payments API");
Rollbar.error("Some unexpected condition");
Rollbar.warning("Connection error from Twitter API");
Rollbar.info("User opened the purchase dialog");
Rollbar.debug("Purchase dialog finished rendering");
// Can include custom data with any of the above.
// It will appear as `custom.postId` in the Occurrences tab
Rollbar.info("Post published", {postId: 123});
// Callback functions
Rollbar.error(e, function(err, data) {
if (err) {
console.log("Error while reporting error to Rollbar: ", e);
} else {
console.log("Error successfully reported to Rollbar. UUID:", data.result.uuid);
}
});To set configuration options at runtime, use Rollbar.configure:
// Set the person data to be sent with all errors for this notifier.
Rollbar.configure({
payload: {
person: {
id: 456,
username: "foo",
email: "foo@example.com"
}
}
});(Advanced) For fine-grained control of the payload sent to the Rollbar API, you can override any keys by nesting them in the configuration under the payload key:
Rollbar.configure({payload: {fingerprint: "custom fingerprint to override grouping algorithm"}}).error(err);For convenience, the configure method also accepts a second parameter of data to be automatically nested under the payload key, for example:
Rollbar.configure({enabled: true, payload: {somekey: 'somevalue'}}, {fingerprint: 'abc123'})is equivalent to
Rollbar.configure({enabled: true, payload: {somekey: 'somevalue', fingerprint: 'abc123'}})Moreover, the values in the second parameter take precedence over any which have a duplicate key nested under the payload key in the first parameter. For example,
Rollbar.configure(
{
enabled: true,
payload: {
a: 'b',
somekey: 'somevalue'
}
},
{
somekey: 'other',
fingerprint: 'abc123'
}
)is equivalent to
Rollbar.configure(
{
enabled: true,
payload: {
a: 'b',
somekey: 'other',
fingerprint: 'abc123'
}
}
)If you're using Rollbar via Segment, you will get automatic detection of uncaught errors, but Rollbar methods are not available unless you use the Device-based Connection Mode option. This is because Segment loads the Rollbar snippet asynchronously, so they may not be defined. If you use the Device-based Connection Mode option, Segment will be able to load the Rollbar script on the client and you can use Rollbar methods. To enable this, go to the destination settings pane in the app and select Device-based Connection Mode. Otherwise, in order to use Rollbar methods, you will need to include the Rollbar snippet directly in your <head>, rather than loading it through Segment.
To use rollbar.js inside a Chrome extension, there are some very minor changes you need to make. You must ensure that when loading rollbar.js from the CDN, the URL is hardcoded as https://, rather than //.
If your source code is minified and you want to use our Source Maps feature, you need to follow the same steps as outlined in using source maps on many domains.
Rollbar.js supports React applications with no additional configuration required. For apps using React 15.2 and later, production error messages are automatically decoded.
The community library which provides the machinery for Angular 1 support has releases for the different versions of this Rollbar.js library. Those releases lag behind releases to this library, but they are usually in sync.
Setting the captureUncaught option to true will result in reporting all uncaught exceptions to
Rollbar by default. Additionally, one can catch any Angular-specific exceptions reported through the
@angular/core/ErrorHandler component by setting a custom ErrorHandler class:
import * as Rollbar from 'rollbar';
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import {
Injectable,
Injector,
InjectionToken,
NgModule,
ErrorHandler
} from '@angular/core';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
const rollbarConfig = {
accessToken: 'POST_CLIENT_ITEM_ACCESS_TOKEN',
captureUncaught: true,
captureUnhandledRejections: true,
};
@Injectable()
export class RollbarErrorHandler implements ErrorHandler {
constructor(private injector: Injector) {}
handleError(err:any) : void {
var rollbar = this.injector.get(RollbarService);
rollbar.error(err.originalError || err);
}
}
export function rollbarFactory() {
return new Rollbar(rollbarConfig);
}
export const RollbarService = new InjectionToken<Rollbar>('rollbar');
@NgModule({
imports: [ BrowserModule ],
declarations: [ AppComponent ],
bootstrap: [ AppComponent ],
providers: [
{ provide: ErrorHandler, useClass: RollbarErrorHandler },
{ provide: RollbarService, useFactory: rollbarFactory }
]
})
export class AppModule { }If your system consists of the following
@angular/cli: 1.4.3

there are some further steps you may need to implement in order to get rollbar.js working for you.
When compiling, if you get the error Error encountered resolving symbol values statically. Function calls are not supported. Consider replacing the function or lambda with a reference to an exported function, then the inline factory function in providers should be an exported function.
Another error you may encounter when compiling is Property 'error' does not exist on type '{}'. In this case, the RollbarErrorHandler var rollbar needs to have a type explicitly defined, i.e. var rollbar: Rollbar.
ember-cli-rollbar is a community-maintained library that enables Ember.Logger.error() to be reported to Rollbar.
Rollbar.js supports Backbone.js with no additional configuration required.
rollbar.js is also distributed using UMD, so you can use it with browserify, requirejs, webpack, or anything else that uses AMD or CommonJS modules. See the examples for details.
If you don't want to send data to Rollbar, just set the enabled flag to false for each notifier instance.
Rollbar.error("This will be reported to Rollbar");
Rollbar.configure({enabled: false});
Rollbar.error("This will *not* be reported to Rollbar");If you want to ignore a specific exception message, say for a third-party browser plugin
that is throwing errors, you can add the message to the ignoredMessages array,
and Rollbar will ignore exceptions matching those messages.
var _rollbarConfig = {
accessToken: "POST_CLIENT_ITEM_ACCESS_TOKEN",
ignoredMessages: ["Can't find Clippy.bmp. The end is nigh."],
captureUncaught: true,
captureUnhandledRejections: false,
payload: {
environment: "production"
}
};
// init your rollbar like normal, or insert rollbar.js source snippet hereRollbar.js supports the ability to catch and report unhandled Promise rejections, that is, Promise failures
that do not have a corresponding .then(null, function(e) {}) handler. This support is best used for handling
rejected exceptions, although rejected primitives will report (without a stack trace).
If you decide to use this option, you may also want to combine it with the checkIgnore
configuration option to filter 'noisy' rejections,
depending on the extent to which your application handles Promise failures, or rejects with a lot of primitives.
If you would like to see what is being sent to Rollbar in your console, use the
verbose option.
var _rollbarConfig = {
accessToken: "POST_CLIENT_ITEM_ACCESS_TOKEN",
verbose: true, // This will now log to console.log, as well as Rollbar
captureUncaught: true,
captureUnhandledRejections: false,
payload: {
environment: "production"
}
};
// init your rollbar like normal, or insert rollbar.js source snippet hereBy default, the snippet loads the full Rollbar source asynchronously. You can disable this which will cause the browser to download and evaluate the full rollbar source before evaluating the rest of the page.
More information can be found here: http://www.w3schools.com/tags/att_script_async.asp and https://www.w3schools.com/tags/att_script_defer.asp
var _rollbarConfig = {
...
async: false,
...
};If you minify your JavaScript in production, you'll want to configure source maps so you get meaningful stack traces. See the source maps guide for instructions.
Unfortunately, some very popular browser extensions may modify a user's copy of your website in such a way as to break its functionality. This can result in Rollbar reporting exceptions that are not a direct result of your own code. There are multiple approaches to dealing with this issue, the simplest of which is covered in related documentation.
We can capture a sequence of events leading up to an error/log message to enhance your visibility
into the state of your application when something happens. We provide a few configuration options to
allow you to decide if and what to instrument for collecting telemetry events. The configuration
option to pass along with the other configuration values is autoInstrument. This can have either a
boolean value or be an object. The default value is true.
If you set autoInstrument to false then we will not collect any events automatically. If you set
autoInstrument to an object, then the set of possible keys is network, log, dom,
navigation, and connectivity. The values can be either true or false. If a key/value pair
is omitted, then we use the default value for that key. Setting
autoInstrument to true is equivalent to passing all of these keys with the values of true.
Hence,
_rollbarConfig = {
...
autoInstrument: true
...
}
is equivalent to
_rollbarConfig = {
...
autoInstrument: {
network: true,
log: true,
dom: true,
navigation: true,
connectivity: true
}
...
}
Likewise,
_rollbarConfig = {
...
autoInstrument: {
dom: false,
navigation: false
}
...
}
is equivalent to
_rollbarConfig = {
...
autoInstrument: {
network: true,
log: true,
dom: false,
navigation: false,
connectivity: true
}
...
}
The different types of events that we automatically capture are: network, log, dom,
navigation, and connectivity.
Network events are XHR and fetch requests. We store the status code, the url, and some timing events to determine how long requests take.
Log events are calls to console and we simply store which console method was called and the
arguments.
DOM events are roughly clicks and inputs that are user generated. We store what element was interacted with and values for certain types of inputs. We do not store the values of inputs of password type.
Navigation events use the information from pushState on browsers that allow for this and gathers
to and from information.
Connectivity events try to capture changes in network connectivity status when this is exposed by the browser.
In addition to automatically captured events, it is possible to manually add events to the list of
telemetry events via the captureEvent method:
var metadata = {somekey: 'somevalue'}; // Any object that gets stored with the event
var level = 'info'; // Possible values: 'debug', 'info', 'warning', 'error', 'critical'
rollbar.captureEvent(metadata, level);There is an in-memory queue of telemetry events that gets built up over the lifecycle of a user
interacting with your app. This queue is FIFO and has a fixed size. By default, we store the last
100 events and send these as part of the item with each manual call to a rollbar method (log/info/warning/error) or with calls caused by an uncaught exception.
You can configure the size of this queue using the option maxTelemetryEvents, however note that
the size of the queue is fixed to be in the interval [0, 100], so while you can lower the size of
the queue from 100, currently you can not increase the size of the queue beyond 100.
Each event is stored as an object of the form
{
level: "debug" | "info" | "warning" | "error" | "critical"
type: string
timestamp_ms: number
body: object
source: string
uuid?: string
}
The size of each of these events is mostly determined by the body field, however we attempt to
store only the smallest amount of information necessary to aid in understanding. Therefore, if you
have concerns about memory usage, you can turn the collection of some or all events off, or limit
the size of the queue of events that we store.
The data that is collected is included in the payload and also goes through the same scrubbing
process described elsewhere. However, we also provide two additional options for scrubbing of
telemetry specific data related to inputs in the dom. The first options is scrubTelemetryInputs.
If this is set to true then no input values will be included in the telemetry events. This is a
course grained on/off switch which you can use to ensure that no input data is leaked.
The second options is a function telemetryScrubber. This function should take one argument which
is a description of a dom node of the form:
{
tagName: string
id: string | undefined
classes: [string] | undefined
attributes: [
{
key: "type" | "name" | "title" | "alt"
value: string
}
]
}
Each time an input event is captured, your function will be called with the description of the node in the form above. If your function returns a truthy value then the value of the input will be scrubbed and not included in the event, otherwise the value will be included.
The implementation requires us to wrap certain function calls as well as to setup some event listeners on the top level object. Because of this, there must necessarily be a performance impact as more code will be running in response to certain user interactions as well as interactions with your code. There is thus a tradeoff between gathering extra information for debugging purposes and execution time and memory footprint. Our suggestion is to benchmark and instrument your code and decide what is an acceptable tradeoff for your application. The configuration options to turn off some or all of the different instrumentation is provided to help you make these fine-grained decisions.
There are 2 types of configuration data -- context and payload. Context provides information about the environment of the error while payload describes information about the error itself.
- Information about the environment of the error being sent to Rollbar
- e.g. server hostname, user's IP, custom fingerprint
- Information about the error -- usually custom
- e.g. The name of the javascript component that triggered the error
Rollbar can be configured at 2 different levels -- global and notifier. All configuration is inherited at each level, so global configuration affects all notifiers while notifier configuration only affects the notifier being configured.
- Affects all notifiers
- Set by calling
global()on any notifier - Merges/updates previous configuration
- Currently, the only supported options are
maxItemsanditemsPerMinute
- Affects only the notifier you call
configure()on - Merges/updates previous configuration for the notifier you call
configure()on
// Only send a max of 5 items to Rollbar per minute
Rollbar.global({itemsPerMinute: 5});// Set the top-level notifier's checkIgnore() function
Rollbar.configure({checkIgnore: function(isUncaught, args, payload) {
// ignore all uncaught errors and all 'debug' items
return isUncaught === true || payload.level === 'debug';
}});
// Set the environment, default log level and the context
Rollbar.configure({logLevel: 'info', payload: {environment: 'staging', context: 'home#index'}});
Rollbar.log('this will be sent with level="info"');
// Only send "error" or higher items to Rollbar
Rollbar.configure({reportLevel: 'error'});
Rollbar.info('this will not get reported to Rollbar since it\'s at the "info" level');
// Set the person information to be sent with all items to Rollbar
Rollbar.configure({payload: {person: {id: 12345, email: 'stewie@familyguy.com'}}});
// Add the following payload data to all items sent to Rollbar
// from this notifier
Rollbar.configure({payload: {sessionId: "asdf12345"}});
// Scrub any payload keys/query parameters named 'creditCardNumber'
Rollbar.configure({scrubFields: ['creditCardNumber']});Both global and context configuration have the following reserved key names that Rollbar uses to aggregate, notifiy and display.
- itemsPerMinute
- Max number of items to report per minute. The limit counts uncaught errors (reported through `window.onerror`) and any direct calls to `Rollbar.log/debug/info/warning/error/critical()`. This is intended as a sanity check against infinite loops, but if you're using Rollbar heavily for logging, you may want to increase this.
If you would like to remove this limit, set it to
undefined.Default:
60 - maxItems
- Max number of items to report per page load. When this limit is reached, an additional item will be reported stating that the limit was reached. Like `itemsPerMinute`, this limit counts uncaught errors (reported through ```window.onerror```) and any direct calls to ```Rollbar.log/debug/info/warning/error/critical()```.
Default:
0(no limit)
- checkIgnore
- An optional function that will be used to ignore uncaught exceptions based on its return value. The function signature should be: ```function checkIgnore(isUncaught, args, payload) { ... }``` and should return ```true``` if the error should be ignored.
Default:
null- isUncaught:
trueif the error being reported is from thewindow.onerrorhook. - args: The arguments to
Rollbar.log/debug/info/warning/error/critical(). In the case of unhandled rejections, the last parameter is originatingPromise. - payload: The javascript object that is about to be sent to Rollbar. This will contain all of the context and payload information for this notifier and error. This parameter is useful for advanced ignore functionality.
- isUncaught:
- enabled
- If set to ```false```, no data will be sent to Rollbar for this notifier.
Note: callbacks for errors will not be called if this is set to ```false```.
Default:
true - hostWhiteList
- Check payload frames for white listed domains. This is an array of strings, each of which get compiled to a `Regexp`. If no file in the trace matches one of these domains the payload is ignored.
- logLevel
- The severity level used for calls to ```Rollbar.log()```. One of ```"critical"```, ```"error"```, ```"warning"```, ```"info"```, ```"debug"```.
Default:
"debug" - reportLevel
- Used to filter out which messages will get reported to Rollbar. If set to ```"error"```, only ```"error"``` or higher serverity level items will be sent to Rollbar.
Default:
"warning" - scrubFields
- A list containing names of keys/fields/query parameters to scrub. Scrubbed fields will be normalized to all `*` before being reported to Rollbar. This is useful for sensitive information that you do not want to send to Rollbar. e.g. User tokens
Default:
["passwd", "password", "secret", "confirm_password", "password_confirmation"] - transform
- Optional function to modify the payload before sending to Rollbar.
Default:
null// For example: // Set a custom fingerprint var transformer = function(payload) { payload.fingerprint = 'my custom fingerprint'; }; Rollbar.configure({transform: transformer}); // OR var _rollbarConfig = { // ... transform: transformer };
- uncaughtErrorLevel
- The severity level used when uncaught errors are reported to Rollbar.
Default:
"error" - endpoint
- The url to which items get POSTed. This is mostly relevant to our enterprise customers. You will, however, need this if you're proxying the requests through your own server, or you're an enterprise customer.
Default:
'https://api.rollbar.com/api/1/item' - autoInstrument
- An object or boolean describing what events to automatically collect. If this value is false
then we collect nothing, if it is true we collect everything, otherwise we do not collect events for
the keys with a false value. The default structure for this object is:
{ network: true, log: true, dom: true, navigation: true, connectivity: true }
These keys should all be within the payload key.
e.g.
Rollbar.configure({
payload: {
person: ...,
context: ...
}
});- person
- An object identifying the logged-in user, containing an ```id``` (required), and optionally a ```username``` and ```email``` (all strings). Passing this will allow you to see which users were affected by particular errors, as well as all the errors that a particular user experienced.
- context
- Name of the page context -- i.e. route name, url, etc. Can be used in the Rollbar interface to search for items by context prefix.
- client
-
An object describing properties of the client device reporting the error.
This object should have a key that points to another object,
javascriptwhich describes properties of the javascript code/environment to Rollbar.client.javascriptsupports the following properties: - code_version
- Version control number (i.e. git SHA) of the current revision. Used for linking filenames in stacktraces to GitHub.
Note:
codeVersionwill not work, you must usecode_version. - source_map_enabled
- When `true`, the Rollbar service will attempt to find and apply source maps to all frames in the stack trace.
Default:
false - guess_uncaught_frames
- When `true`, the Rollbar service will attempt to apply source maps to frames even if they are missing column numbers. Works best when the minified javascript file is generated using newlines instead of semicolons.
Default:
false - server
-
An object describing properties of the server that was used to generate the page the notifier is reporting on.
The following properties are supported:
- branch
- The name of the branch of the code that is running. Used for linking filenames in stacktraces to GitHub.
Default:
"master" - host
- The hostname of the machine that rendered the page
e.g.
"web1.mysite.com"e.g. in Python, use
socket.gethostname()
E.g.
Rollbar.configure({ logLevel: "warning", // Rollbar.log() will be sent with a level = "warning" payload: { server: { branch: "master", host: "web1.mysite.com" } } });
E.g.
Rollbar.configure({
scrubFields: ["creditCard"], // "creditCard" will be added to the list of default scrubFields
payload: {
client: {
javascript: {
code_version: "ce0227180bd7429fde128f6ef8fad77396d8fbd4", // Git SHA of your deployed code
source_map_enabled: true,
guess_uncaught_frames: true

- options:
Object- A javascript object that contains the notifier configuration.
This method is used to record uncaught exceptions from window.onerror. The Rollbar snippet will set window.onerror = Rollbar.uncaughtError if it was configured to do so via the captureUncaught config parameter given to the constructor of this Rollbar instance.
Returns: undefined
Params
- message:
String: The error message. - url:
String: url that the error occurred on. - lineNo:
Integer: The line number, (if known) that the error occurred on. - colNo:
Integer: The column number that the error occurred on.- Note: Only newer browsers provide this variable.
- err:
Exception: The exception that caused thewindow.onerrorevent to occur.- Note: Only newer browsers provide this variable.
This method is used to record unhandled Promise rejections via the window event unhandledrejection. Many promise
libraries, including Bluebird, lie, and native Promise support (Chrome only currently, but it is a standard to be
built upon).
To enable this handling, you should provide captureUnhandledRejections to the config given to this Rollbar constructor.
Returns: undefined
Params
- message:
Exception: The exception, or rejection being rejected. - promise:
Promise: The originating promise object.
Log a message and potentially send it to Rollbar. The level that the message or error is logged at is determined by the logLevel config option.
In order for the message to be sent to Rollbar, the log level must be greater than or equal to the reportLevel config option.
See configuration for more information on configuring log levels.
Returns: undefined
Params
Note: order does not matter
- message:
String- The message to send to Rollbar. - err:
Exception- The exception object to send. - custom:
Object- The custom payload data to send to Rollbar. - callback:
Function- The function to call once the message has been sent to Rollbar.
// By default, the .log() method uses the
// "debug" log level and "warning" report level
// so this message will not be sent to Rollbar.
Rollbar.log("hello world!");Rollbar.configure({logLevel: "warning"});
Rollbar.log("Uh oh! The user pressed the wrong button.", {buttonId: "redButton"});try {
foo();
} catch (e) {
Rollbar.log("Caught an exception", e);

function continueFormSubmission() {
// ...
}
try {
foo();
continueFormSubmission();
} catch (e) {
Rollbar.log(e, continueFormSubmission);
}These methods are all shorthand for Rollbar.log() with the appropriate log level set.
If you use jQuery 1.7 and up, you can include a plugin script that will instrument jQuery to wrap any functions passed into jQuery's ready(), on() and off() to catch errors and report them to Rollbar. To install this plugin, copy the following snippet into your pages, making sure it is BELOW the <script> tag where jQuery is loaded:
<script>
// Rollbar jQuery Snippet
!function(r){function t(n){if(e[n])return e[n].exports;var a=e[n]={exports:{},id:n,loaded:!1};return r[n].call(a.exports,a,a.exports,t),a.loaded=!0,a.exports}var e={};return t.m=r,t.c=e,t.p="",t(0)}([function(r,t,e){"use strict";!function(r,t,e){var n=t.Rollbar;if(n){var a="0.0.8";n.configure({payload:{notifier:{plugins:{jquery:{version:a}}}}});var o=function(r){if(n.error(r),t.console){var e="[reported to Rollbar]";n.options&&!n.options.enabled&&(e="[Rollbar not enabled]"),t.console.log(r.message+" "+e)}};r(e).ajaxError(function(r,t,e,a){var o=t.status,u=e.url,i=e.type;if(o){var s={status:o,url:u,type:i,isAjax:!0,data:e.data,jqXHR_responseText:t.responseText,jqXHR_statusText:t.statusText},d=a?a:"jQuery ajax error for "+i;n.warning(d,s)}});var u=r.fn.ready;r.fn.ready=function(r){return u.call(this,function(t){try{r(t)}catch(r){o(r)}})};var i=r.event.add;r.event.add=function(t,e,n,a,u){var s,d=function(r){return function(){try{return r.apply(this,arguments)}catch(r){o(r)}}};return n.handler?(s=n.handler,n.handler=d(n.handler)):(s=n,n=d(n)),s.guid?n.guid=s.guid:n.guid=s.guid=r.guid++,i.call(this,t,e,n,a,u)}}}(jQuery,window,document)}]);
// End Rollbar jQuery Snippet
</script>The plugin will also automatically report any AJAX errors using jQuery's ajaxError() handler. You can disable this functionality by configuring the Rollbar notifier with the following:
window.Rollbar.configure({
plugins: {
jquery: {
ignoreAjaxErrors: true
}
}
});Sometimes you want to include Rollbar inside a component that is intended to be used on someone else's site. To do this, you do not want to interfer with an existing Rollbar integration on the containing site. Moreover, you would like unhandled exceptions to be available to both Rollbar instances with the ability to use the configuration options to filter out exceptions you might not be interested in.
The way that Rollbar typically operates is to load a shimmed version of the library via the snippet
listed above in the head of your page. This allows us to capture errors as soon as possible rather
than other libraries which only can start catching exceptions once their full library has loaded
asyncronously. This shimmed version of the library assumes the global _rollbarConfig variable and
uses this to configure things and handle setup after the full library has downloaded. In order for
multiple independent components to load Rollbar, only one can effectively use this snippet plus
global variable approach. Therefore, we provide the bundles: /dist/rollbar.noconflict.umd.js and
/dis/rollbar.noconflict.umd.min.js. To use these, you most likely want to use something like
Webpack to bundle your code, and then use:
var rollbar = require('rollbar/dist/rollbar.noconflict.umd');
var Rollbar = new rollbar({
accessToken: "POST_CLIENT_ITEM_ACCESS_TOKEN",
captureUncaught: true,
captureUnhandledRejections: true,
payload: {
environment: "some-embedded-component"
}
});The require will not have side effects on globals (unless it is the first instance of a Rollbar
library being loaded which will then set up an initial timestamp on the window if possible). The
construction of the Rollbar object with the captureUncaught and/or captureUnhandledRejections
configuration options set to true will cause handlers to be added to the global error handling
mechanisms on the window. Note that this will cause errors to be delivered to your instance of
Rollbar as well as any other instances on the page (so you might get errors for someone else's
code).
See here for some examples of how to use rollbar.js with Bower, Browserify, RequireJS, Webpack, and others.
The recommended way to use the rollbar constructor is to pass an object which
represents the configuration options with at least the one required
key accessToken with the value equal to your
POST_SERVER_ITEM_ACCESS_TOKEN. If you do not want to pass any configuration options, then for
convenience, you can simply pass just the access token as a string as the only argument to the
constructor.
var Rollbar = require('rollbar');
var rollbar = new Rollbar({
accessToken: 'POST_SERVER_ITEM_ACCESS_TOKEN',
captureUncaught: true,
captureUnhandledRejections: true
});
// log a generic message and send to rollbar
rollbar.log('Hello world!');Setting the captureUncaught option to true will register Rollbar as a handler for
any uncaught exceptions in your Node process.
Similarly, setting the captureUnhandledRejections option to true will register Rollbar as a
handler for any unhandled Promise rejections in your Node process.
Be sure to replace POST_SERVER_ITEM_ACCESS_TOKEN with your project's post_server_item access token, which you can find in the Rollbar.com interface.
Install using the node package manager, npm:
$ npm install --save rollbar
var express = require('express');
var Rollbar = require('rollbar');
var rollbar = new Rollbar('POST_SERVER_ITEM_ACCESS_TOKEN');
var app = express();
app.get('/', function(req, res) {
// ...
});
// Use the rollbar error handler to send exceptions to your rollbar account
app.use(rollbar.errorHandler());
app.listen(6943);const Koa = require('koa');
const Rollbar = require('rollbar');
const rollbar = new Rollbar('POST_SERVER_ITEM_ACCESS_TOKEN');
const app = new Koa();
// Errors handling using Rollbar as first middleware to catch exception
app.use(async (ctx, next) => {
try {
await next();
} catch (err) {
rollbar.error(err, ctx.request);
}
});
// ...
app.listen(3000);var Hapi = require('hapi');
var server = new Hapi.Server();
server.connection({ host:'localhost', port:8000 });
// Begin Rollbar initialization code
var Rollbar = require('rollbar');
var rollbar = new Rollbar('POST_SERVER_ITEM_ACCESS_TOKEN');
server.on('request-error', function(request, error) {
// Note: before Hapi v8.0.0, this should be 'internalError' instead of 'request-error'
var cb = function(rollbarErr) {
if (rollbarErr)
console.error('Error reporting to rollbar, ignoring: '+rollbarErr);
};
if (error instanceof Error)
return rollbar.error(error, request, cb);
rollbar.error('Error: '+error, request, cb);
});
// End Rollbar initialization code
server.route({
method: 'GET',
path:'/throw_error',
handler: function (request, reply) {
throw new Error('Example error manually thrown from route.');
}
});
server.start(function(err) {
if (err)
throw err;
console.log('Server running at:', server.info.uri);
});In your main application, require and construct a rollbar instance using your access_token::
var Rollbar = require("rollbar");
var rollbar = new Rollbar("POST_SERVER_ITEM_ACCESS_TOKEN");Other options can be passed into the constructor as a collection. E.g.:
// Configure the library to send errors to api.rollbar.com
new Rollbar({
accessToken: "POST_SERVER_ITEM_ACCESS_TOKEN",
environment: "staging",
endpoint: "https://api.rollbar.com/api/1/item"
});Log a message and potentially send it to Rollbar. The level that the message or error is logged at is determined by the logLevel config option.
In order for the message to be sent to Rollbar, the log level must be greater than or equal to the reportLevel config option.
See configuration for more information on configuring log levels.
Returns: undefined
Params
Note: order does not matter, however the first Object that contains at least one key from the list under request will be considered a request object.
- message:
String- The message to send to Rollbar. - err:
Exception- The exception object to send. - custom:
Object- The custom payload data to send to Rollbar. - callback:
Function- The function to call once the message has been sent to Rollbar. - request:
Object- A request object containing at least one of these optional keys:headers: an object containing the request headersprotocol: the request protocol (e.g."https")url: the URL starting after the domain name (e.g."/index.html?foo=bar")method: the request method (e.g."GET")body: the request body as a stringroute: an object containing a 'path' key, which will be used as the "context" for the event (e.g.{"path": "home/index"})
To report an exception that you have caught, use one of the named logging functions (log/debug/info/warning/error/critical) depending on the level of severity of the exception.
var Rollbar = require('rollbar');
var rollbar = new Rollbar('POST_SERVER_ITEM_ACCESS_TOKEN');
try {
someCode();
} catch (e) {
rollbar.error(e);
// if you have a request object (or a function that returns one), pass it in
rollbar.error(e, request);
// you can also pass a callback, which will be called upon success/failure
rollbar.error(e, function(err2) {
if (err2) {
// an error occurred
} else {
// success
}
});
// pass a request and a callback
rollbar.error(e, request, callback);
// to specify payload options - like extra data, or the level - pass a custom object
rollbar.error(e, request, {level: "info"});
// you can also pass a callback
rollbar.error(e, request, {level: "info"}, callback);
}To report a string message, possibly along with additional context, use (log/debug/info/warning/error/critical) depending on the level of severity to attach to the message.
var Rollbar = require('rollbar');
var rollbar = new Rollbar('POST_SERVER_ITEM_ACCESS_TOKEN');
// reports a string message at the default severity level ("error")
rollbar.log("Timeout connecting to database");
// reports a string message at the specified level, along with a request and callback
// only the first param is required
rollbar.debug("Response time exceeded threshold of 1s", request, callback);
rollbar.info("Response time exceeded threshold of 1s", request, callback);
rollbar.warning("Response time exceeded threshold of 1s", request, callback);
rollbar.error("Response time exceeded threshold of 1s", request, callback);
rollbar.critical("Response time exceeded threshold of 1s", request, callback);
// reports a string message along with additional data conforming to the Rollbar API Schema
// documented here: https://rollbar.com/docs/api/items_post/
rollbar.warning(
"Response time exceeded threshold of 1s",
request,
{
threshold: 1,
timeElapsed: 2.3
}, callback
);If your Node.js application is responding to web requests, you can send data about the current request along with each report to Rollbar. This will allow you to replay requests, track events by browser, IP address, and much more.
All of the logging methods accept a request parameter.
If you're using Express, just pass the express request object. If you're using something custom, pass an object with these keys (all optional):
headers: an object containing the request headersprotocol: the request protocol (e.g."https")url: the URL starting after the domain name (e.g."/index.html?foo=bar")method: the request method (e.g."GET")body: the request body as a stringroute: an object containing a 'path' key, which will be used as the "context" for the event (e.g.{"path": "home/index"})
Sensitive param names will be scrubbed from the request body and, if scrubHeaders is configured, headers. See the scrubFields and scrubHeaders configuration options for details.
If your application has authenticated users, you can track which user ("person" in Rollbar parlance) was associated with each event.
If you're using the Passport authentication library, this will happen automatically when you pass the request object (which will have "user" attached). Otherwise, attach one of these keys to the request object described in the previous section:
rollbar_personoruser: an object like{"id": "123", "username": "foo", "email": "foo@example.com"}. id is required, others are optional.user_id: the user id as an integer or string, or a function which when called will return the user id
Note: in Rollbar, the id is used to uniquely identify a person; email and username are supplemental and will be overwritten whenever a new value is received for an existing id. The id is a string up to 40 characters long.
If you would like to see what is being sent to Rollbar in your console, use the
verbose option. Set verbose: true in your configuration, and we will output certain information
via the debug package. This package uses the DEBUG
environment variable to configure what to output. We use the namespace Rollbar for our
log messages, so for example, to see everything you need to do something like this:
DEBUG=Rollbar:* node app.js
The upgrade path from node_rollbar version 0.6.4 to version 2.0.0 of this library is not
automatic, but it should be straightforward. The main changes are related to naming, however we also
changed the library from being a singleton to being used via individual instances. As we have said
above, the recommended way to use the constructor is to pass an object which represents
the configuration options with the access token contained within. The old style was to always pass the
access token as the first parameter, we permit this style for convenience when no other options are
necessary to ease the migration path, but for new code one should use an object as the only argument.
Old:
var rollbar = require("rollbar");
rollbar.init("POST_SERVER_ITEM_ACCESS_TOKEN");
rollbar.reportMessage("Hello world!");New:
var Rollbar = require("rollbar");
var rollbar = new Rollbar("POST_SERVER_ITEM_ACCESS_TOKEN");
rollbar.log("Hello world!");- Instead of importing the library as a singleton upon which you act, you are now importing a constructor.
- The constructor is a function of the form
function (options)where options is an object with the same configuration options as before, and also requires a keyaccessTokenwith your access token as the value. reportMessage,reportMessageWithPayloadData,handleError, andhandleErrorWithPayloadDataare all deprecated in favor of: log/debug/info/warning/error/critical- Each of these new logging functions can be called with any of the following sets of arguments:
- message/error, callback
- message/error, request
- message/error, request, callback
- message/error, request, custom
- message/error, request, custom, callback
- In other words, the first argument can be a string or an exception, the type of which will be used to subsequently construct the payload. The last argument can be a callback or the callback can be omitted. The second argument must be a request or null (or a callback if only two arguments are present). The third argument is treated as extra custom data which will be sent along with the payload. Note that to include custom data and no request, you must pass null for the second argument.
The other major change is that if you wish to capture uncaught exceptions and unhandled rejections, you now use a configuration option.
Old:
rollbar.handleUncaughtExceptionsAndRejections("POST_SERVER_ITEM_ACCESS_TOKEN", options);New:
var rollbar = new Rollbar({
accessToken: "POST_SERVER_ITEM_ACCESS_TOKEN",
captureUncaught: true,
captureUnhandledRejections: true
});We have also changed the minimumLevel configuration option to reportLevel in order to match the
configuration option currently in use by the browserjs library.
Now that we have said the above, because of how one might be using the library currently, converting to not use a singleton may be problematic. Therefore, we provide a convenient interface to what is essentially a singleton managed by the library. First, you would use this code somewhere before any other instances of rollbar are required or used:
const Rollbar = require('rollbar');
const rollbar = Rollbar.init({
accessToken: "POST_SERVER_ITEM_ACCESS_TOKEN",
captureUncaught: true
});Then, in other places, you can use:
const Rollbar = require('rollbar');
Rollbar.log('hello world');We provide a convenience function for working with AWS Lambda, namely lambdaHandler. This function
takes one argument which is your lambda function and returns a semantically equivalent function with
all of the details of interacting with Rollbar abstracted away. If you call your callback with an
error, it will automatically be sent to Rollbar. Additionally, extra information will be added to
the Rollbar item that is gathered from the Lambda environment. The uncaughtException event
does not work in the Lambda environment, therefore this helper also wraps your code in a
try/catch block, reports any uncaught exception if there is one, and then rethrows to match
the normal behaviour. For example,
exports.handler = rollbar.lambdaHandler((event, context, callback) => {
context.callbackWaitsForEmptyEventLoop = false;
console.log('Received event:', JSON.stringify(event, null, 2));
var err = new Error('bork bork');
callback(err, null);
});is roughly equivalent to
exports.handler = (event, context, callback) => {
try {
context.callbackWaitsForEmptyEventLoop = false;
console.log('Received event:', JSON.stringify(event, null, 2));
var err = new Error('bork bork');
rollbar.error(err);
rollbar.wait(function() {
callback(err, null);
});
} catch (err) {
rollbar.error(err);
rollbar.wait(function() {
throw err;
});
}

IE 8+, Firefox 40+, Chrome 44+, Edge 10+, Opera 12+, and Safari 8+.
