Plugin: Exception Notifier; Get detail information of exceptions occurred on the live server right on your inbox.

I don’t know whether you guys are aware of Exception Notifier plugin written by Jamis Buck or not. If you don’t then I would like to share this with you.

The Exception Notifier plugin provides a mailer object and a default set of templates for sending email notifications when errors occur in a Rails application. The plugin is configurable and allows programmers to specify:

the sender address of the email
the recipient addresses
the text used to prefix the subject line

The email includes information about the current request, session, and environment, and also gives a backtrace of the exception.

I am using this plugin and found it very useful, and suggest you to use it.

You can get this plugin from http://dev.rubyonrails.org/svn/rails/plugins/exception_notification/
