Errors View

Track, analyze, and resolve errors in your Meteor application.

Overview

The Errors tab provides:

  • Error timeline showing occurrences over time
  • Grouped errors by type/message
  • Error rate metrics
  • Detailed stack traces

Error Timeline

The chart shows error occurrences over time:

  • Height: Number of errors at each time point
  • Color: Error severity (red = high, orange = medium)

Use the timeline to identify:

  • Error spikes (deployment issues?)
  • Patterns (time-based issues?)
  • Trends (increasing/decreasing errors?)

Error List

Errors are grouped by:

  1. Error message (normalized)
  2. Stack trace fingerprint
  3. Error type/code

Each row shows:

ColumnDescription

Error Investigation

Step-by-Step Guide

  1. Identify the scope

    • How many users affected?
    • When did it start?
    • Is it increasing?
  2. Review the stack trace

    • What function threw?
    • What was the call path?
  3. Check context

    • What method/subscription?
    • What were the arguments?
    • Who was the user?
  4. Look for patterns

    • Specific user type?
    • Specific time of day?
    • After a deployment?

Setting Up Alerts

Get notified of important errors:

  1. Go to Site Settings > Alerts
  2. Create a new alert rule
  3. Configure conditions:
    • Error rate exceeds X%
    • New error type detected
    • Specific error pattern

See Alerting Guide for details.
