Fogbugz and ELMAH - Communication Plugin

My employer is currently trying out Fogbugz and one feature that would be nice is some sort of automation between our exception logger (ELMAH) and case generation in FogBugz. Specifically, it would be great if there were a module to send error reports to FogBugz and then in FogBugz process the error, look for duplicates (perhaps grouped by page name, exception, and offending line), and, if necessary, create a new case.

As far as I can tell this could be achieved by sending an e-mail with ELMAH and then having some sort of plugin on the FogBugz end that parses the report and performs the necessary actions. Has anyone tried something like this?

Solution

  • If you want to automatically create new cases in FogBugz you do not have to necessarily write a plug-in. FogBugz has some API for managing cases from other applications:

    • There is BugzScout which does a similar thing you ask.
    • You can use the FogBugz XML API for creating / querying cases and set up your "external work flow".
