If you are a developer running an App on social network Facebook, then, there’s good news for you. FB has has made it easy to spot major issues in Apps after it introduced a new set of alerts for developers that are triggered when their Apps run into problems on account of high API error rates. The notifications will be sent via email & through Facebook itself.

A blog post by FB’s Lei Lei said:

Today, we are enabling API error notifications through our Developer Alerts tool to provide critical information about your apps via email and notifications on Facebook.com.

If your app encounters an abnormally high API error rate, you will receive an alert. The alert includes information on the method name along with the error codes and corresponding error descriptions to help you triage the issue.

You can always monitor your App Insights dashboard for an in-depth look at your overall API activity and performance. We’re beginning a gradual rollout today and plan to enable it for all apps in the coming weeks.
