Sending custom events

View Markdown

You can send your own application events to Honeybadger Insights. (For the events the package captures on its own, see Automatic instrumentation.)

Use the Honeybadger.event/1 function to send event data to the events API. A ts field with the current timestamp will be added to the data if it isn’t provided. You can also use Honeybadger.event/2, which accepts a string as the first parameter and adds that value to the event_type field in the map before being sent to the API.

Honeybadger.event(%{
  event_type: "user_created",
  user: user.id
})

Honeybadger.event("project_deleted", %{
  project: project.name
})
