Rollbar Plugin

Website: https://rollbar.com/

Setup

1. Configure the rollbar backend plugin

2. If you have standalone app (you didn't clone this repo), then do

# From your Backstage root directory
yarn add --cwd packages/app @backstage/plugin-rollbar

3. Add to the app EntityPage component:

// In packages/app/src/components/catalog/EntityPage.tsx
import { EntityRollbarContent } from '@backstage/plugin-rollbar';

const serviceEntityPage = (
  <EntityLayout>
    {/* other tabs... */}
    <EntityLayout.Route path="/rollbar" title="Rollbar">
      <EntityRollbarContent />
    </EntityLayout.Route>

4. Setup the app-config.yaml and account token environment variable

# app.config.yaml
rollbar:
  organization: organization-name
  # used by rollbar-backend
  accountToken: ${ROLLBAR_ACCOUNT_TOKEN}

5. Annotate entities with the rollbar project slug

# pump-station-catalog-component.yaml
# ...
metadata:
  annotations:
    rollbar.com/project-slug: organization-name/project-name
    # -- or just ---
    rollbar.com/project-slug: project-name

6. Run app with yarn start and navigate to /rollbar or a catalog entity
