  91 +Notice Grouping
  92 +---------------
  93 +The way Errbit arranges notices into error groups is configurable. By default,
  94 +Errbit uses the notice's error class, error message, complete backtrace,
  95 +component (or controller), action and environment name to generate a unique
  96 +fingerprint for every notice. Notices with identical fingerprints appear in the
  97 +UI as different occurences of the same error and notices with differing
  98 +fingerprints are displayed as separate errors.
  99 +
  100 +Changing the fingerprinter (under the 'config' menu) applies to all apps and
  101 +the change affects only notices that arrive after the change. If you want to
  102 +refingerprint old notices, you can run `rake errbit:notice_refingerprint`.
