BugLogHQ.com :: Open Source Bug Tracking app for Web Applications

BugLogHQ is a free and open source tool to centralize the handling of automated bug reports from multiple applications.

BugLogHQ provides a unified view of error messages sent from any number of applications and servers, allowing the developer to search, graph, forward, and explore the bug reports submitted by the applications.

Get the Big Picture

BugLog's aggregated view of the data allows you to easily keep track of the overall health of your applications.

Drill down for greater detail

Bug reports are presented in different views at finer levels of agregation, so that you can find easily which apps or features are having problems.

Detailed Reports

Get a snapshot of what happened in your app at the moment of the error; BugLog even correlates bug reports with similar occurrences to help you identify trends.

Mobile-friendly View

Keep an eye on BugLogHQ activity when on the run. BugLogHQ detects when you use a smartphone and displays a minimized user interface.

}

CFML (Application.cfc)

component {
   ...
   public function onError(Exception, EventName) {

ChangeLog

What's New in BugLogHQ 1.7

A new "Dashboard" homepage.
More granular and finer timespans to view received errors.
A log of each time an alert is fired with information on the bug report that triggered the alert.
Optional HTTP Basic authentication for access to RSS feeds.
Expose the results of any search criteria as an RSS feed.
A new client written in JavaScript to allow client-side webapps to report errors to a BugLog server.
Centralized and standardized display of dates and times, including support for time zone conversion.
Display additional insights and context for each bug report (timeline, other reports from same user agent, host distribution)
Allow deletion of bug reports.
Improved listing of current rules to provide a human-readable description of what they actually do.
Use jQuery and Twitter Bootstrap for the main user interface.

What's New in BugLogHQ 1.6

Allow BugLog to be deployed at the web root level
Add support for Named Instances
Adobe ColdFusion 10 compatibility.

What's New in BugLogHQ 1.5.204

Added two new rule types: "Discard" and "HeartbeatMonitor". Discard is used to tell buglog to discard and not process bug reports that match a given criteria. HeartbeatMonitor can be configured to send an email alert if a message matching a given criteria has not been received in the last X minutes.
Added two more lifecycle execution points for rules: "processQueueStart" and "processQueueEnd"; these methods execute before the queue processing begins and when it ends respectively and regardless of if there are items on the queue or not.
Rule processor now also reports errors to the current buglog instance instead of only writing to a log file.
BugLog now uses BugLog to track itself (duh, finally!)

What's New in BugLogHQ 1.5

Extensions are now stored on a database instead of an XML file
Creating a rule instance is now much more user friendly because application, host and severity codes can be selected via dropdowns; or can also be prepopulated from an existing bug report.
Added support for defining settings for multiple environments (dev,qa,prod1,prod2,etc). Once the environment is detected buglog can override any setting with custom values.
Added option to disable editing settings through the UI (useful if you have your config file versioned and only want to configure buglog that way)
Added the "BugLog Digest" which is a configurable and periodic email summary of all reports received in the last X hours.
Rewrote the "iphone" UI to be for mobiles in general (now its accessible at /bugLog/mobile), also there is an improved platform detection when going to /bugLog. If you go with any mobile browser you should get redirected to the new UI, otherwise you go to the regular desktop UI
Multiple bug fixes

What's New in BugLogHQ 1.4

Asynchronous processing of BugReports and Rules (Increases application's response and scalability)
Simplified application configuration via a new "Settings" screen
User management. Users can be divided now in two roles: regular users (with limited control) and administrators
Optional JIRA integration. Create JIRA issues directly from BugLogHQ
Change password screen (no more editing table directly to do this)
Optionally require an API Key from applications to submit bug reports to BugLog.
Enable/Disable rules as you need them.
New rule type "FirstMessageAlert". Be alerted via email only the first time each distinct message arrives.
Ability to "purge" history and delete all bug reports older than X number of days.
