Exceptionless NodeJS

Using Exceptionless in the NodeJS environment is similar to using it in other JavaScript environments.

Getting Started

To use this package, your must be using ES6 and Node 18+.

Installation

npm install @exceptionless/node --save

Configuration

While your app is starting up, you should call startup on the Exceptionless client. This ensures the client is configured and automatic capturing of unhandled errors occurs.

import { Exceptionless } from "@exceptionless/node";

await Exceptionless.startup((c) => {
  c.apiKey = "API_KEY_HERE";

  // set some default data
  c.defaultData["mydata"] = {
    myGreeting: "Hello World"
  };

  c.defaultTags.push("Example", "JavaScript", "Node");
});

Once that's done, you can use the Exceptionless client anywhere in your app by importing Exceptionless followed by the method you want to use. For example:

await Exceptionless.submitLog("Hello world!");

Please see the docs for more information on configuring the client.

Source Maps

For improved stack traces launch your Node app with the --enable-source-maps command line option.

node app.js --enable-source-maps
