About Honeybadger
Honeybadger is a commercial monitoring service that brings error tracking, logging and application performance monitoring into one developer-oriented interface. It is aimed at teams running web apps in production who want to find and fix problems before users notice them.
Its features include error tracking with real-time alerts and de-duplication, logging and observability queries across errors and user activity, dashboards with a deliberately lean APM, uptime monitoring, cron and heartbeat monitoring and status pages. Language support spans Ruby, JavaScript, Python, Elixir and PHP, with integrations for GitHub, Slack, Datadog and PagerDuty, and the vendor notes it works alongside New Relic and Datadog. Honeybadger is proprietary and vendor-hosted, offering a free trial and a demo, with plans listed on its pricing page.
