Introduction

Raygun Crash Reporting is an automated error tracking software that gives you visibility and diagnostics into the errors and bugs impacting your customers.

Getting started

Now that you’ve signed up for Crash Reporting, follow these steps to get started with diagnosing and resolving errors.

Create an application in Raygun

Raygun applications are used to segment data from your different applications, parts of an application, or development environments.

We recommend setting up Crash Reporting in production as soon as possible, to capture errors impacting customers. However you can also set up Crash Reporting in a development environment.

Send data to Crash Reporting

After creating your first application, you’ll be presented with the Crash Reporting setup instructions. Select your language in the dropdown and follow the steps to start collecting data.

We recommend installing Raygun in a production environment, to start capturing any errors impacting your users. Once Raygun is installed, data will start to flow through and you’ll be redirected to the Crash Reporting dashboard.

You can find setup instructions for each of the different languages and frameworks Raygun supports on the language overview page.

Viewing error diagnostics

Now that data is coming into Crash Reporting, you can view the diagnostic information about each error.

Click on the error message in the Error Inbox on the Crash Reporting dashboard to view the error report. Here you'll find all the information Raygun has captured about a particular error, giving you everything you need to diagnose and resolve it.
