In our Rails app we rescue most of the exceptions on ApplicationController to give correct API response, but still want to track errors happening using ErrorCollector. Is there a way to manually send error to NewRelic?

Based on what I see in the New Relic agent code you can do
NewRelic::Agent.notice_error(exception, options)
I have tested this and have this running in my stack
Here's an example in a controller:
class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
rescue_from ActiveRecord::RecordInvalid, with: :rescue_invalid_record
private
def rescue_invalid_record(exception)
NewRelic::Agent.notice_error(exception)
end
end

Full documentation of the API call to notice errors and increment the error metric is the New Relic Ruby Agent API documentation here http://rdoc.info/github/newrelic/rpm/NewRelic/Agent/Transaction.notice_error

Not sure if it's recommended way to use, but this works perfectly:
NewRelic::Agent.agent.error_collector.notice_error( exception )
