Details#

This integration uses pre-built, source-available components from Pipedream's GitHub repo. These components are developed by Pipedream and the community, and verified and maintained by Pipedream.

To contribute an update to an existing component or create a new component, create a PR on GitHub. If you're new to Pipedream component development, you can start with quickstarts for trigger span and action development, and then review the component API reference.

Trigger#

New Error on elmah.io

Description:Emit new event on each new error

Version:0.0.3

Key:elmah_io-new-error

View on GitHub

elmah.io Overview#

Elmah.io provides an API that allows developers to integrate their applications
with the elmah.io service. This lets developers easily view and manage their
application's error logs from one central location. Elmah.io also provides a
number of features that are not available through the standard Elmah UI, such
as filtering and searching of logs, custom dashboards, and integrations with a
number of third-party services.

Trigger Configuration#

This component may be configured based on the props defined in the component code. Pipedream automatically prompts for input values in the UI and CLI.

Label	Prop	Type	Description
elmah.io	`elmah_io`	`app`	This component uses the elmah.io app.
	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
Log ID	`logId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.

Trigger Authentication#

elmah.io uses API keys for authentication. When you connect your elmah.io account, Pipedream securely stores the keys so you can easily authenticate to elmah.io APIs in both code and no-code steps.

API keys are located on the organization settings page.

To open organization settings, click the gears icon next to your organization name on either the left menu or through the dashboard:

When on the organization settings page, click the API Keys tab and copy or generate your API key.
