Best Practices
Quickstart onboarding guide for new Rollbar customers. Learn how to enable and utilize all of Rollbar's features with this language-agnostic starter guide.
Best Practices
Rollbar is designed to be developer friendly and delivers on this through customizable SDKs for all of our supported languages. There are, however, best practices for configuring and using Rollbar that generally apply across all of these languages and use cases. These best practices are documented in this guide: it is intended to help you understand how others are configuring the Rollbar agent and the web app to provide the best experience for their specific needs.
How to use this Guide
This guide is divided into different product categories: the SDK and the web app are separate components so we will review their best practices individually. SDK configuration is best done all at once if possible, since it involves deploying new versions of your code. Web app configuration can be done in parts since there are no rollouts required for the changes. The web app best practices are divided into account and project configurations, since they have different settings that affect different scopes.
SDK configuration is also recommended as a precursor to web app configuration due to the fact that some features are only enabled in the web app by adding new SDK configurations. Make sure you review all of the code changes required to enable the full set of Rollbar features.
