Keep historical stack trace of nodejs app running on heroku

Question

• I have a nodejs (express) app running on heroku.
• I need to keep a short history of logs (up to a day or so).
• I need to be able to dig in to the stack trace of any errors being thrown

I have been able to solve the first two by using Loggly but I can't find any solution which will show me the stack trace of any exceptions which have been thrown.

Answer 1

I'd recommend using node-airbrake module on your app, connecting either to the webservice or to an own set-up server-instance for the notification backend using errbit gem.

For setting things up, it depends, which way you want to go.
To keep it simple, i'd recommend using the 30-day free-trial hosted service and in case, you're happy with it, to setup your own errbit instance.
