How can I get Email when Errors Happen?

Your application is running in production - now you want to be sure you’re the first to know when there’s a problem so you can get ahead of it and get it fixed. Ideally, email notifications should include enough information so you know how to react: Is this a major problem you need to resolve right away or something to look into tomorrow at the office? Plus, you want to tune what events you get notified on: Perhaps just ones in production, and just crashes not warnings or errors.

When things go really bad and the server is just flooding the log with events you don’t want to get bombarded with thousands of emails either; you want to be sure these floods get rolled up into a few messages indicating the error is happening a lot of times without getting an email for ever error.

Get Email Notifications of Errors with Loupe

By adding the Loupe Agent to your application and sending diagnostic data to a Loupe Service, you can accomplish all of this in one step. In just a few clicks you can receive email like this:

Don’t Get Flooded

If you’ve ever set up your own automated emails before, you know it’s easy to look good during initial setup, but when a real production problem happens your inbox is filled with a flood of reports of the same error. Worse, you could get hundreds of reports of one error and just one of another, even more important one which gets lost.

Loupe automatically groups common errors together so it can send fewer messages during an emergency - One message telling you an error happened 50 times instead of 50 messages. While it groups these messages together if the problem keeps happening you will get an updated notification periodically so you stay in the know.

Dig Into Problems from Email

Being notified of an error is just the first step - you’ll want to easily dig into the detail:

• What’s the full exception detail?
• What lead up to this error?
• Who is it happening to?
• Is it limited to just one or a few computers?

Each Loupe email includes a link to the detail in your Loupe Service so you’re just one click away from the answers to all of these questions and more.
