ASP.NET WebApi installation

Install the nuget package called coderr.client.aspnet.webapi.

Next, you need to tell the Coderr library what server it should upload all error reports to.

Add the following code in your global.asax or Startup.cs.

var url = new Uri("http://yourServer/coderr/");
Err.Configuration.Credentials(url, 
                              "yourAppKey", 
                              "yourSharedSecret");

To get automated error reporting, add the following:

Err.Configuration.CatchWebApiExceptions();

Once configured, start your application and try manually to report an exception.

You can for example add the following code somewhere and then invoke your controller action:

try
{
    throw new Exception("Hello world");
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
    Err.Report(ex, new { SampleData = "Context example"});
}

More information

The WebApi library can report all invalid model states, track failed login attempts and more.
