Using highlight.io with Java Frameworks
Learn how to set up highlight.io on your Java backend.
1
Install the Highlight Java SDK.
Add Highlight to your maven pom file.
<dependency>
<groupId>io.highlight</groupId>
<artifactId>highlight-sdk</artifactId>
<version>latest</version>
</dependency>
2
Initialize the Highlight Java SDK.
Highlight.init() initializes the Highlight backend SDK.
HighlightOptions options = HighlightOptions.builder("<YOUR_PROJECT_ID>")
.version("1.0.0")
.environment("development")
.build();
Highlight.init(options);3
Add Highlight logger.
errors will automatically record raised exceptions and send them to Highlight.
Coming soon4
Verify your errors are being recorded.
Now that you've set up the Middleware, verify that the backend error handling works by consuming an error from traced code.
5
Record custom errors. (optional)
If you want to explicitly send an error to Highlight, you can use the Highlight.captureException() method.
try {
} catch (Exception ex) {
Highlight.captureException(exception);
}6
Using sessions
When everything is finished and working, you can try to use sessions. You can find more information about the SESSION_ID here parseHeaders
HighlightSession session = new HighlightSession("SESSION_ID");
session.captureException(new NullPointerException("This shouldn't happen"));
session.captureLog(Severity.INFO, "Just another message");
session.captureRecord(HighlightRecord.log()
.severity(Severity.warn("Internal", Priority.HIGH))
.message("Just another message")
.requestId("REQUEST_ID")
.attributes(attributes -> attributes.put("application.user.name", "NgLoader"))
.build());7
Set up logging.
Start sending logs to Highlight! Follow the logging setup guide to get started.
