Raygun is an application performance monitoring (APM) and error tracking tool designed for software developers to identify and resolve issues in their applications quickly. It provides real-time insights into software performance, error diagnostics, and user experience, helping teams to detect, diagnose, and fix errors faster. With features like crash reporting, real user monitoring, and deployment tracking, Raygun helps ensure the stability and efficiency of applications, making it an essential tool for maintaining high-quality software and delivering a seamless user experience.
How does the integration work?
If you are using self-hosting Appwrite, you can use the Raygun provider for error-tracking and logging for your Appwrite instance.
How to implement
To implement the Raygun provider for logging, there are several steps you must complete:
Step 1: Sign up for Raygun
First, sign up on Raygun (pick Crash Reporting as the product you’re most interested in) and create your first application. Head to Application settings from the left-side navbar and copy your API Key.
Step 2: Add Raygun provider to your Appwrite instance
For this step, you must self-host Appwrite if you haven’t already.
Visit the .env file created for your Appwrite instance and update the following environment variables:
_APP_LOGGING_PROVIDER=raygun
_APP_LOGGING_CONFIG=RAYGUN_API_KEY
After that, run the following Docker Compose commands in your terminal to restart your Appwrite containers and verify if the changes have been successfully applied:
docker compose up -d --force-recreate
docker compose exec appwrite vars
Step 3: Test the provider
Once the Sentry provider is configured, run the following command in your terminal:
docker compose exec appwrite ssl --domain="wrongdomain.com"
Doing so will show errors in your Raygun Crash Reporting dashboard.
You can also view the error summary for further details.
