Exceptions going unreported

We're experiencing exceptions on production leading to 500 errors, but nothing new is making it to the exception list in Airbrake, nor are we getting email notifications. The only notifications I see are for repeats of exceptions that already existed prior to the new site rollout.

    I just want to make absolutely sure you got this, seeing as how multiple of
    my replies failed permanently. 
    [I had replied to their automated email, which is supposed to post the message to this thread, an Sat, Oct 5, 2013 at 1:38 PM. But it failed permanently. I sent that permanently failure message back to them two more times, and only received one more failure reply, so I assumed that the second email had gone through. I finally checked back in on the 7th, via email, resulting in this post.]

    Hello,
    Could I get an update on this? We haven't had exception notifications for 7 days now. This is a pretty big deal for us. It seems to have perfectly coincided with the roll out of the new site, although that could indeed be a coincidence for all I know.
    Thanks,
    Clay

    Hello,
    This issue has been resolved by our dev team. They have deployed the code to fix this issue. Unfortunately you will have to remove the addon from heroku, then re-add it again, but you will no longer run into this 401 issue.
    Let us know if you have any questions or run into any other issues.
    Matt

    Matt,
    What does Heroku have to do with anything? We don't use Heroku.
    Thanks,

    Hi Clay, This looks like a bit of a mix up. I need to review this bug in more detail before I can tell you more.

    Hi Clay,
    I looked at your app and it looks like it's reporting noticed just for NoMethodError: undefined methodto_sym' for nil:NilClas` Rake task, but may not be correctly setup for the rest of your app.
    Which version of the Gem are you using, and what's the output of config/initializers/airbrake.rb

    We're using version 3.1.14.
    I ran "rails runner config/initializers/airbrake.rb" but it doesn't output anything. Which makes sense to me, considering that file is just:
    Airbrake.configure do |config|
    config.api_key = 'our API key' end
    I did a puts on it and got:
    #Airbrake::Sender:0x007ff0dbe81560
    Note that the Airbrake testing rake task succeeds.

    Can I get an update? We're really suffering by not getting exception reporting.

    I just got a 422 that went unreported. The log says:
    Completed 422 Unprocessable Entity in 86ms
    ** [Airbrake] Failure: Net::HTTPRequestEntityTooLarge

    Now I'm getting a new exception, but it's not coming through in Pivotal Tracker.

    I refresh and it just never shows up. Yet repeats of OLD exceptions still show up in Tracker.

    Hi guys. Any updates. Haven't had fully functional exception tracking for about a week and a half now.
    Thanks
    [Update: as of today, October 14, it seems like the Pivotal Tracker integration is be working again.]
