Configuration#

To send exceptions to Airbrake from a Sinatra application, simply use our Rack middleware, and configure with your PROJECT ID and PROJECT API KEY available from your project’s settings page.

# sinatra-airbrake-example.rb
require 'sinatra/base'
require 'airbrake'

Airbrake.configure do |c|
  c.project_id = '<Your project ID>'
  c.project_key = '<Your project API KEY>'

  # Display debug output.
  c.logger.level = Logger::DEBUG
end

class MyApp < Sinatra::Base
  use Airbrake::Rack::Middleware

  get('/') { 1/0 }
end

run MyApp.run!
