Hook Exist in Rails for System-Wide Exception Logging?

On our production servers, I'd like all exceptions to be automatically logged to the database.

In other C# project I wrote that meant putting a try/catch in every entry point method with the catch calling a generic routine which did the INSERT into exceptions... SQL statement.

How do I do this in rails? It would be nice if in application.rb or even in each controller you could do:

exception_logger :my_exception_logger

Perhaps this could be implemented using filters? Hopefully rails already has this exact functionality built-in as I'd imagine everyone would need it?

Rails Exception Notifier will give you what you need. If you want, you can hook into it a write to the DB, but you will find that the email notification is plenty.

http://getexceptional.com is pretty good for that kind of thing too.
