elmah.io Overview#

The elmah.io API allows developers to automate error logging and management in their applications. By using this API, you can create robust monitoring systems that capture, analyze, and notify you of any application errors in real-time. Integrating elmah.io with Pipedream opens up possibilities for streamlining incident responses, correlating errors with system metrics, and improving application stability through automated workflows. With Pipedream's serverless platform, you can connect elmah.io to numerous other services to enhance your error management processes.

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.
