Clojure client for the Airbrake API

(require '[clj-airbrake.core :as airbrake])

(def request {:url "http://example.com" :component "foo" :action "bar"
             :cgi-data {"SERVER_NAME" "nginx", "HTTP_USER_AGENT" "Mozilla"}
             :params {"city" "LA", "state" "CA"}
             :session {"user-id" "23"}})

(def exception (try (throw (Exception. "Foo")) (catch Exception e e)) ; throw to get a stacktrace

(airbrake/notify "my-api-key" "production" "/app/dir" exception request)
=> {:error-id 42 :id 100 :url "http://sub.airbrakeapp.com/errors/42/notices/100"}

Note that the request is one-to-one with Airbrake's API and not a Ring request. If you are using ring please see below about the provided ring middleware.

The request is optional but is the only way the Airbrake API allows you to pass in additonal information. So, if you are using the client out of the context of a web application you can use the request to send in enviromental variables or anything else that may help in troubleshooting. Note, that url in the request is required if you do provide a request hashmap.

clj-airbrake is available as a Maven artifact Clojars.

Running the tests:

$ lein deps
$ lein test

(use 'ring.adapter.jetty)
(use 'ring.middleware.params)
(use 'ring.middleware.stacktrace)
(use 'clj-airbrake.ring)

(defn app [req]
  {:status  200
   :headers {"Content-Type" "text/html"}
   :body    (throw (Exception. "Testing"))})

(run-jetty (-> app
               (wrap-params)
               (wrap-airbrake "MY-API-KEY")
               (wrap-stacktrace))
           {:port 8080})

• Param filtering. (e.g. automatically filter out any 'password' params)
• Allow for certain environments to be ignored... defaulting to #{"test" "development"}
• Configuartion management? i.e. set api-key once
