Most applications raise some errors that aren’t bugs in your code. They happen when the app encounters unexpected input, like a bot filling in a form. To stop these errors from showing up as problems in AppSignal, you can handle them in code or let AppSignal ignore certain errors entirely.

​
Ignore errors

AppSignal configuration lets you ignore errors. Provide a list of error names in a denylist, and AppSignal will not track them when they are raised.

​
Appsignal::setError

To record a handled exception use the Appsignal::setError() helper method. This is useful when catching and handling an error gracefully but still wanting to track it in AppSignal. For example, to monitor how often a fallback path is triggered.
PHP
try {
    SomeClass::riskyOperation();
} catch (Throwable $e) {
    Appsignal::setError($e);
    throw $e;
}
The errors passed as an argument to Appsignal::setError() must implement the base Throwable interface.
