Rollbar also integrates with other products so you can send the errors to project management tools, incident alerting tools etc. In this post, we will show you how to get started with error tracking using Rollbar. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"installation\">Installation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">First, sign up for a Rollbar account and create your project. Based on the language and framework you select for the project, you will see the installation instructions. The installation will involve adding the Rollbar SDK to your code and initiating it as early in your application lifecycle as possible. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"error-view\">Error<strong> <\/strong>view<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After installing the SDK, Rollbar will start capturing unhandled exceptions and send them to your project.
