How to use NewRelic to monitor Rails exceptions

Question

Is it possible to use NewRelic to monitor exceptions in Rails app (like Airbrake)

Bonus: Get notified of other custom errors (e.g. Users getting form validation errors)

Thanks

Answer 1

New Relic does indeed track exceptions, with a free subscription. It will also let you call an API to report custom errors.

Answer 2

Zapier provides a connector to New Relic, that in theory would allow you to send emails when a new relic alert occurs.

Haven't tested myself but it probably let you use New Relic as airbrake.
