Announcing ErrorTracker, an Elixir-based built-in error tracking solution.

Features

• Basic, free, built-in error tracking solution. Tracking errors in your application should be a requirement for almost any project and it helps to improve quality and maintenance.
• Easy to set up. Includes plug-and-play integrations that work automatically such as:
  • Plug integration
  • Phoenix integration
  • Oban integration
• Minimalistic. You just need a relational database to store errors. It can be your application’s database or a separate one.
• Web UI. Includes a LiveView dashboard that allows you to search, manage and resolve recorded errors.
• Extra context. Recorded errors include additional context such as the request path or the LiveView event for the Phoenix integration and the job ID and parameters for the Oban integration. You can also add your additional context.

What makes ErrorTracker different?

ErrorTracker does not require you to rely on third party services to track your errors. Your errors, just like your data, are yours. You decide where to store them, when to prune them and how to manage them.

This is invaluable for a whole set of applications that handle PII data and must maintain a high level of care when sharing that data with third parties. No need to worry whether the third party complies with HIPAA, GDPR, etc. as your data won’t leave your systems.

This is also highly beneficial for small projects that can’t afford to pay a third party service for tracking errors. Without this observability, errors are hard to debug and fix. The ErrorTracker allows you to track errors for free in your current system and may provide this observability capabilities that will help you reproduce and fix errors easily.
