Dumb question about crashes

[ferigis]

Describe the bug We have a cron job running every night. This process crashes sometimes and we would like to monitor the crashes on new relic.

As this is not a web/ecto... process we have to deal with it in a different way. I tried something like this:

...
:ok = NewRelic.start_transaction("MyCategory", "MyName")
... Code which may crash here...
NewRelic.stop_transaction()

but the errors are not displayed on New Relic dashboard.

How can we "monitor" this process to publish data to NR?

Thanks!

Environment

• Elixir & Erlang version (elixir -v): 1.14.3
• Agent version (mix deps | grep new_relic_agent): 1.27.8
