BugSnag is now Insight Hub - we're making some changes to how the product looks, but this won't impact the way you use BugSnag or any of your integrations.

Severity indicator

Understand the severity of an error.

Severity indicator

Every event is reported with a severity and the distinction of handled or unhandled, both of which can be used to filter your errors.

Handled vs Unhandled

  • Unhandled: An error that BugSnag automatically caught and reported. This usually means the application crashed or an operation failed unexpectedly.

  • Handled: An error that your application manually reported, commonly through a call to bugsnag.notify or via a log (on some platforms).

Severity

The severity of an error is automatically captured, but can be overridden within your BugSnag configuration. There are three levels:

  • Info
  • Warning
  • Error

To understand why a given severity level was applied to an error, hover over the severity indicator:
