Question

Is there a gem or way to send a mail with action mailer to a predefined admin@myhost.ltd ? I have been looking for some gems to handle exceptions and notify me when a production app has serious issues turndowns or other major failures.

Answer 1

Maybe you can try this[1]

I never used, but can work for you

Answer 2

There are some notification tools like Airbrake that can help you with this, but the easy solution is to just add a rescue_from to your main controller to capture them.

Just be sure that your rescue method doesn't try and rescue its own exceptions.

Answer 3

For those that do want to go commercial, one with really useful email notifications for exceptions (including daily error summary/aggregate email options) is Raygun - it has a ruby gem available at https://rubygems.org/gems/raygun4ruby.
