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:
- Error message (normalized)
- Stack trace fingerprint
- Error type/code
Each row shows:
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Error | Message and type |
| Count | Total occurrences |
| Users | Affected user count |
| Last Seen | Most recent occurrence |
| Status | Resolved/Unresolved |
