Honeybadger Example Elixir App

Welcome to a simple Elixir/Phoenix application that allows you to test the Honeybadger monitoring platform for Elixir. Honeybadger allows you to easily monitor for errors in your Elixir applications.

Quick Start

The easiest way to get started with this application is to deploy it to Heroku with the Heroku Button:

Deploy

Slightly Less Quick Start

If you'd like to do it the old fashioned way, follow these steps:

  1. Sign up or sign in at Honeybadger.io
  2. Create a new project and make a note of the api key on the settings page
  3. Clone or download this app
  4. Install dependencies with mix deps.get
  5. Start Phoenix endpoint with HONEYBADGER_API_KEY=your-api-key mix phoenix.server

Now you can visit localhost:4000 from your browser.

Trying It Out

Once you have the app running, either on Heroku or on your local machine, browse to the running Phoenix app. When you click on the first link, an error will be triggered and reported to Honeybadger. Check your email for a message from Honeybadger with a link to the error you just recorded.

Enjoy!

We hope this sample app gives you an easy way to see just how awesome Honeybadger is. :) If you have any questions about this app or the Honeybadger monitoring service, please feel free to drop us a line at support@honeybadger.io.
