In simple English
Software crashes when things go wrong. Fixing those bugs is hard without knowing what happened. This tool gathers crash reports from your apps as they happen. It puts them into a dashboard so you can read what went wrong. You can run it on your own server or pay the creators to host it.
What it is
Exceptionless is a self-hosted crash reporting and error monitoring server. It receives error logs from your apps and organizes them into actionable items.
What it is good for
Solo builders who want to track down software bugs without sending user data to third-party services.
- Collects errors from many programming languages and frameworks.
- Can be run locally with a single command for testing.
- Keeps all your error logs on your own server.
- Requires Docker (a way to run a program inside its own sealed box, so it cannot break anything else on your server) knowledge for proper self-hosting.
- Quick start mode does not save data when restarted.
- Needs external storage setup for long-term data persistence.
