Overview

This topic explains how to use LaunchDarkly’s observability features to understand and view errors in your application. The Errors view displays a list of recorded errors.

Get started

To instrument your application to capture errors, read the SDK documentation on Observability. The functionality is available through plugins to the LaunchDarkly JavaScript SDK.

View errors

To view details about a specific error, click the error in the list. The error details page appears. The page displays details about how many times the error has occurred, how many users have been affected, and when the error was first and most recently observed. The page opens to the Instances tab.

The Instances tab

Use this tab to get an overview of the error’s impact and see stack traces on per-instance occurrences. You can see details about a specific occurrence of an error, like what browser the user encountered it in, what URL they had loaded when it occurred, and more.
