Airbrake Java silently monitors your application 24 hours/day, 7 days/week, notifying you in real time of any exceptions. Detailed stack traces, as well as environment and user reports make it easy to see what line of code is broken, the environment in which it occurred, and the deploy that it's tied to. Airbrake's intuitive dashboard gives you at-a-glance insight into the health of your code, letting you know the total number of errors, whether that number has gone up, and the errors since your last deploy.
