Code example
Install the JavaScript SDK, wire init once with your API key, then emit structured logs—they batch and send in the background. Other languages can use the HTTP API today; native SDKs are on the way.
tsx
instrumentation.ts
npm install @monitea/log-sdk
// ── 1) One-time setup: point the SDK at Monitea with your project API key ──
// (Dashboard → Settings → API Keys). Never commit keys; use env vars.
import { init, info, error, flush } from "@monitea/log-sdk";
init({
apiKey: process.env.MONITEA_API_KEY!,
service: "checkout-api", // shown in the UI to group logs
environment: "production",
// Base URL only — the SDK POSTs to {endpoint}/v1/logs
endpoint: "https://api.monitea.com/api",
});
// ── 2) Emit logs anywhere in your app (async batching + retries behind the scenes) ──
info("User completed checkout", { userId: "usr_123", cartTotal: 49.99 });
error("Payment provider timeout", { orderId: "ord_456" });
// ── 3) Optional: flush on graceful shutdown so batches are not cut off ──
process.on("SIGTERM", () => void flush());
The SDK batches and retries automatically. For Express, you can add expressMiddleware from @monitea/log-sdk/express to log requests with minimal wiring.
