About Rollbar
Rollbar is the leading continuous code improvement platform that proactively discovers, predicts, and remediates errors with real-time AI-assisted workflows. With Rollbar, developers continually improve their code and constantly innovate rather than spending time monitoring, investigating, and debugging.
The Rollbar solution comprises of:
- Software Development Kits (SDKs) for all major programming languages, which are open source and used for instrumenting applications to detect and report errors to the Rollbar platform. Instrumenting is easy and takes minutes to complete. The SDKs come with various configuration options including for data scrubbing to prevent sensitive data from being sent to Rollbar.
- A proprietary fingerprinting and analysis engine, which receives, processes, and makes sense of billions of error occurrences per month, and significantly boosts the signal-to-noise ratio, a common challenge in monitoring. The error grouping feature can be customized to meet your specific needs.
- A full-featured workflow application that notifies developers of errors instantly as they occur, through the web-based real-time error feed interface, or via alerts sent to tools like Slack, PagerDuty, or email. Tasks can be distributed by assigning errors to specific members of a team. Rollbar comes with extensive integrations with other software tools that comprise your complete software development workflow, including Github, Jenkins, JIRA, and more, and a full-featured API.
- A data collection engine that brings together all data useful for debugging purposes, formatted in ways that save the developer time. The data and contextual metadata includes stack traces, request parameter values, local variable values, and various metrics such as users impacted, browser, region, OS, and more. If you enable source control integration, you also get links from the stack trace to relevant lines of code in your code repository, as well as useful information on deployments relating to the error. There is also a SQL-like interface called Rollbar Query Language (RQL) for custom data analysis.
- Various features for data protection, security, and privacy, and easier administration in large organizations. This includes encryption at rest, enterprise-grade audit and security controls, SAML SSO for login, SCIM provisioning, and more. Rollbar is compliant with stringent industry standards, such as HIPAA in the U.S., EU GDPR, and is ISO27001 and CSA STAR certified.

Really good for monitoring your micro services

Overall I’m very happy with this.
Overall I’m very happy with this.
Pros
I have been using Rollbar for more than 2 years now, it’s really easy to use. The best thing is that when you’re setting up a new service it very easy to setup with your standard logger like log4j. And then voila you have your errors in the rollbar dashboard. It is very handy when your releasing. On top of that you can set up slack integration that keeps you alerting when thing are broken. I’d definitely suggest this to my friends and ex-colleagues to use this.
Cons
I haven’t faced any cons yet. Only thing notice is if you do not configure your logger properly then it might spam with with errors you don’t care about, But that’s not the problem of the product itself.

We are collecting data from 6 Django mircoservices and we can rely on Rollbar for all error logs and traceback rotation.
Pros
Ability to view in memory data snapshot and current variable values when exception occurred.
Cons
The dashboard could be faster with some default dashboards.

Bad. If I get paged because of an error or see an anomaly that I have configured to alert me via Rollbar, I will use another tool to see what the issue might be. UI is too slow and clunky when I need to move fast.
Pros
I like to see my errors/warnings and have it work with PagerDuty. Serves an essential purpose, I couldn't go without. The query language is pretty powerful. It is also easy to integrate into my services.
Cons
The UI is absolutely the worst. Extremely slow and the toggles/selects are a huge pain. The graphs are near useless. Even the deep linking is bad with the new UI that was recently released. Can't see trends or changes over time.
The query language is good but you can't save them or plot them. Kinda bare bones.
It is my debugging tool of last resort because the UI is so frustrating.

Overall, I consider my experience with Rollbar has been great. It has helped me a lot detecting bugs and issues that customers are facing.
Pros
What I like the most about Rollbar is how easy it is to integrate within your code. Providing you with a powerful tool that will help you debugging possible exception that might occur in production, alerting you right away when some errors are happening very often and pointing your right at the line where the error was triggered.
Cons
As long as I have been using it I don't have something I dislike about Rollbar. A feature that could improve it significantly could be request tracing, that way you could have all the data in one place to understand quicker what went wrong.

Rollbar let us drop in an SDK that automatically wired up to capture browser errors without a ton of work on our end, which was a huge time-saver.
Pros
Rollbar is great for logging client-side javascript errors (although they can also log errors from a bunch of other sources), and we use their source-map feature to have useful error reports on our minified code. Rollbar also has useful alerting for when a new issue crops up, or an issue crosses a threshold for number of times seen. When we've gone to them for support we've found it to be great.
Cons
Rollbar is reasonably good at de-duping the same errors and grouping them into a single item, although that's not yet flawless. They've also got a query language that we've used a little but, although in our experience it is pretty slow to return results (which could totally be on us).
