For the best part of the last 2 years I had been using the Exception Notification plugin for Rails, however recently I found that it was actually causing some of the errors in the application and not reporting them, so I went in search of an alternative, and to my luck found Exceptional, the exception tracking and managing utility for Rails, which was in BETA release, I have now been using it with all my production applications for nearly 2 months and its doing great.
Exceptional has great integration with Twitter, Lighthouse and Campfire, I would like Unfuddle integration but you can’t have everything can you.
Exceptional also groups exceptions which occur more than once so you don’t get bombarded every 10 seconds when something does go wrong.
