Next.js Log Monitoring with LogMonitor
>_ why next.js apps need log monitoring
Next.js applications span server-side rendering, API routes, middleware, and client-side code. Bugs can surface in any layer, and without centralized logging you are left guessing which part of the stack failed. LogMonitor gives you a single Live Console that streams logs from every Next.js execution context in real time.
>_ how logmonitor works with next.js
Install the logmonitor-js SDK from npm and call logmonitor.init() once in your application entry point. The SDK auto-patches console.log, console.info, console.warn, console.error, and console.debug to stream logs to your LogMonitor dashboard with zero configuration. Logs are captured across API routes, server components, and the browser. Logs are only sent in production (when process.env.NODE_ENV === 'production').
>_ quick start
import { logmonitor } from 'logmonitor-js';logmonitor.init({ apiKey: 'your-api-key' });export default function MyApp({ Component, pageProps }) { return <Component {...pageProps} />;}// Anywhere in your Next.js appconsole.log('Page rendered', { route: '/dashboard' });console.error('API route failed', { endpoint: '/api/users', status: 500 });>_ what you can monitor
- $API route errors and response times
- $Server-side rendering failures
- $Client-side JavaScript exceptions
- $Middleware execution logs
- $ISR and static regeneration events
- $Authentication and session errors
>_ frequently asked questions
Yes. The logmonitor-js SDK works with both the Pages Router and the App Router. Initialize it once in your root layout or _app file and all console calls are captured automatically.
Yes. The SDK instruments console methods on both the server and the client, so logs from API routes, server actions, and server components all appear in your Live Console.
No. LogMonitor uses asynchronous, non-blocking transport. Logs are buffered and sent in the background so there is zero impact on page load or response times.
Yes. Pass structured metadata with your log calls and use the LogMonitor dashboard to filter by route, user ID, request ID, or any custom field.
Under five minutes. Install the package with npm install logmonitor-js, add one init call, and deploy. Your logs will appear in the Live Console immediately.
