Code example
Install the JavaScript SDK and call init with your API key, service name, and environment (ingest URL is built into the SDK). Logs 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
// Ingest URL is fixed inside the SDK: https://api.monitea.com/api/v1/logs (see api-docs).
// Pass apiKey, service label, and environment name (must match the key's environment).
import { init, info, error, flush } from "@monitea/log-sdk";
init({
apiKey: process.env.MONITEA_API_KEY!,
service: "checkout-api",
environment: "production",
});
// Emit logs (batched + retried in the background)
info("User completed checkout", { userId: "usr_123", cartTotal: 49.99 });
error("Payment provider timeout", { orderId: "ord_456" });
// Optional: flush on graceful shutdown
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.
