Set Up Bugsly for Ruby on Rails

Error tracking for Rails applications with automatic controller instrumentation, ActiveRecord query monitoring, and background job error capture.

1. Install the SDK

gem install sentry-ruby sentry-rails

2. Configure Bugsly

Add the following to your application entry point. Replace the DSN with your project DSN from the Bugsly dashboard.

# config/initializers/sentry.rb
Sentry.init do |config|
  config.dsn = "https://your-dsn@bugsly.dev/1"
  config.environment = Rails.env
  config.traces_sample_rate = 1.0
  config.breadcrumbs_logger = [:active_support_logger, :http_logger]
  config.send_default_pii = true
end

# Errors in controllers, models, views, and jobs
# are automatically captured with full context.

3. Verify It Works

Trigger a test error in your application and check your Bugsly dashboard. You should see the error appear within seconds, complete with stack trace, breadcrumbs, and AI-powered analysis.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Bugsly work with Rails 7+?

Yes. sentry-rails supports Rails 5.0 through 7.x, including Turbo, Hotwire, and the new Rails 7 defaults.

How does Bugsly track Sidekiq job errors?

Add the sentry-sidekiq gem alongside sentry-rails. Failed jobs, retries, and dead jobs are automatically reported with the full job payload and error context.

Can I filter sensitive data from error reports?

Yes. Configure config.before_send in the initializer to scrub sensitive fields, or use config.send_default_pii = false to disable automatic PII collection.
