Fiber Quick Start

H.init("<YOUR_PROJECT_ID>", {
  tracingOrigins: ['localhost', 'example.myapp.com/backend'],
  networkRecording: {
    enabled: true,
    recordHeadersAndBody: true,
  },
});

Install the Highlight Go SDK.

Install the highlight-go package with go get.

go get -u github.com/highlight/highlight/sdk/highlight-go

Initialize the Highlight Go SDK.

highlight.Start starts a goroutine for recording and sending backend traces and errors. Setting your project id lets Highlight record errors for background tasks and processes that aren't associated with a frontend session.

import (
  "github.com/highlight/highlight/sdk/highlight-go"
)

func main() {
  // ...
  highlight.SetProjectID("<YOUR_PROJECT_ID>")
  highlight.Start(
	highlight.WithServiceName("my-app"),
	highlight.WithServiceVersion("git-sha"),
  )
  defer highlight.Stop()
  // ...
}

Add the Highlight Fiber error handler.

highlightFiber.Middleware() provides a Go Fiber middleware to automatically record and send errors to Highlight.

import (
  highlightFiber "github.com/highlight/highlight/sdk/highlight-go/middleware/fiber"
)

func main() {
  // ...
  app := fiber.New()
  app.Use(highlightFiber.Middleware())
  // ...
}

Record custom errors. (optional)

If you want to explicitly send an error to Highlight, you can use the highlight.RecordError method.

highlight.RecordError(ctx, err, attribute.String("key", "value"))

Verify your errors are being recorded.

Now that you've set up the Middleware, verify that the backend error handling works by consuming an error from your handler. This is as easy as having a route handler return an error.

Set up logging.

Start sending logs to Highlight! Follow the logging setup guide to get started.
