ways to track error/exception emails?

[Dev Purkayastha]

Is there any software (in the Ruby world or elsewhere) for tracking
error/exception emails sent from your app? Suppose, right now, I get
emails each time an exception happens. I would ideally track down and
fix any exception immediately, but:

- I don't always have enough proof into the cause of the exception. I
want to monitor this bug, looking for more incidences, more evidence,
more trends.

- I don't always have the resources to fix everything immediately. If
the bug is major but not critical, I will triage it depending on the
frequency with which is comes p.

Is there anything like this? (Would it be a good project?)

Have you played with exception_logger (http://github.com/defunkt/exception_logger/tree/master)?  Seems like it's most of what you want.

Dev,

You might want to check out this Railscasts Episode:

I personally use the Ryan's fork of the Exception Logger. It is
very easy to integrate into an existing app and will store all
exceptions in the database so you can go back and recreate them in
your testing environment.

Hi Dev,

We at Thoughtbot felt the same way over the past year, so we started
working on an app to deal with this. The application we built tracks
your exceptions, allows you to mark some as "fixed", and manages the
statistics and notifications. I'd say we are about one week away from
launch, and the service will initially be free.

Cheers,

Yeah, we have one of those email collector sites up at
http://hoptoadapp.com too. Just to confirm: it does have a frog on it.
If you enjoy putting your email address into nondescript forms as much
as I do, you'll love this one.
