Sending custom events

You can send your own application events to Honeybadger Insights using the Honeybadger.event method. (To capture console logs automatically, see Capturing logs.)

Honeybadger.event("button_click", {
  action: "buy_now",
  user_id: 123,
  product_id: 456,
});

The first argument is the type of the event (event_type) and the second argument is an object containing any additional data you want to include.

Honeybadger.event can also be called with a single argument as an object containing the data for the event:

Honeybadger.event({
  event_type: "button_click",
  action: "buy_now",
  user_id: 123,
  product_id: 456,
});

A timestamp field (ts) will be automatically added to the event data if it is not provided, regardless of the method overload used to send the event.
