Integrate Bug Capture with Rollbar

Learn how to integrate with Rollbar for faster and better testing and debugging

The Bug Capture Rollbar integration connects errors in Rollbar to a Bug Capture recording, allowing a much easier way to understand the user’s experience when going over error data in Rollbar. There’s a clear correlation between error data in Rollbar and issues reported from users with Bug Capture.

Prerequisites

Make sure you have Rollbar installed in your application and either Bug Capture SDK installed in your application or the browser extension installed in your browser.

Rollbar Configuration

The following Rollbar configuration change adds the URL returned by window.birdeatsbug?.session?.link || window.birdeatsbugExtension?.session?.link to the payload of Rollbar events.

Configure the Rollbar Service Link

Navigate to the Rollbar project you want to add the Service Link to. Add the new Service Link as: {{birdeatsbugSessionURL}} .
This service link in Rollbar will now open the Bug Capture recording for you in a new browser tab allowing you to quickly view the user reported recording and associated data in Bug Capture.

Limitations

Bug Capture does not auto-upload recordings. The user has to take a submit action to upload the recording. This means that in the moment in time when an error occurs and is sent to Rollbar, it is only known whether there’s an ongoing recording with Bug Capture, and under which URL the recording will be accessible if the user uploads it. However, the user might choose not to upload the Bug Capture recording. In this case, Rollbar will link to a Bug Capture recording that is not accessible. Bug Capture replay sessions reported with the browser extension will never be linked on Rollbar.
