honeybadger-java

Java Client to report exceptions to Honeybadger.io

By adding the following line to your code(Possibly in the main function). All errors that you don't catch will be caught and sent to honeybadger.

Honeybadger honeybadger = new Honeybadger();

In order for this to work, you must have the following environmental variables set. HONEYBADGER_API_KEY JAVA_ENV

If you are using the log4j appender, JAVA_ENV can be set instead in the log4j.properties file.

HONEYBADGER_API_KEY: Contains your Honeybadger api key. This is found in your projects settings on the Honeybadger web page.

JAVA_ENV: Describes the environment where your program is running. I use development and production.

log4j appender

The HoneybadgerAppender is a log4j appender that reports log messages set to the ERROR level to Honeybadger.

To use it, you will need to add a few lines to log4j.properties in addition to the environment variables required for the Honeybadger Java client. First, add HoneybadgerAppender as a root appender:

log4j.rootLogger=INFO, file, console [...], honeybadger

Then set the appender, passing in sys properties if desired:

log4j.appender.honeybadger=honeybadger.HoneybadgerAppender
log4j.appender.honeybadger.Threshold=ERROR
log4j.appender.honeybadger.HoneybadgerAPIKey=${api_key}
log4j.appender.honeybadger.JavaEnv=${java_env}

Note that, since HoneybadgerAppender instantiates Honeybadger, all uncaught exceptions will also be reported to Honeybadger.
