Exceptioneer - superb and a doddle to integrate into N2

One of the lads at work pointed me in the direction of Exceptioneer which quite honestly is fantastic.

Although Elmah which comes with N2 is simple to use and is very helpful in tracking bugs, if you get an exception on one of your N2 sites which is "buried down" under a load of code it's not easy to find. Exceptioneer gives you information on the current username, stack trace, where it was called from on the front end etc. There's simply so much information it collects for you that it would be hard to do a screenshot.

Another big bonus is that it also tracks your javascript errors! I can't recommend this enough and this will definitely be a part of all N2 work I do from now on... not that I write code with loads of exceptions in it of course! :)

Finally, if all that wasn't good enough... Exceptioneer has a free account which can log up to 2000 exceptions a month.
