This strategy defines logic for handling errors thrown during on both the server
and the worker. It can be used for additional logging & monitoring, or for sending error
reports to external services.

:::info

This is configured via the `systemOptions.errorHandlers` property of
your VendureConfig.

*Example*

```ts
import { ArgumentsHost, ExecutionContext } from '@nestjs/common';
import { GqlContextType, GqlExecutionContext } from '@nestjs/graphql';
import { ErrorHandlerStrategy, I18nError, Injector, Job, LogLevel } from '@vendure/core';

import { MonitoringService } from './monitoring.service';

export class CustomErrorHandlerStrategy implements ErrorHandlerStrategy {
    private monitoringService: MonitoringService;

    init(injector: Injector) {
        this.monitoringService = injector.get(MonitoringService);
    }

    handleServerError(error: Error, { host }: { host: ArgumentsHost }) {
         const errorContext: any = {};
         if (host?.getType<GqlContextType>() === 'graphql') {
             const gqlContext = GqlExecutionContext.create(host as ExecutionContext);
             const info = gqlContext.getInfo();
             errorContext.graphQlInfo = {
                 fieldName: info.fieldName,
                 path: info.path,
             };
         }
         this.monitoringService.captureException(error, errorContext);
    }

    handleWorkerError(error: Error, { job }: { job: Job }) {
        const errorContext = {
            queueName: job.queueName,
            jobId: job.id,
        };
        this.monitoringService.captureException(error, errorContext);
    }
}
```

```ts title="Signature"

    handleServerError(exception: Error, context: { host: ArgumentsHost }): void | Promise<void>;
