Monitoring Setup

What it does

This skill empowers AI agents to configure monitoring for NestJS and Next.js applications. It specifically enables setup of Sentry for error tracking and Google Analytics for user analytics, supporting automated DevOps pipelines and CI/CD workflows. The agent can guide users through the necessary installation steps and configuration processes for both backend (NestJS) and frontend (Next.js) components.

When to use it

• You need to implement error tracking using Sentry.
• You want to configure Google Analytics to track user behavior on your application.
• You are deploying a production application and require comprehensive monitoring.
• You want to track specific events like user signups, purchases, or feature usage.

Key capabilities

• Sentry Setup (NestJS): Provides instructions for installation (npm install @sentry/node @sentry/profiling-node), initialization in main.ts, and configuration using the SENTRY_DSN environment variable. Includes guidance on setting appropriate sample rates.
• Sentry Setup (Next.js): Guides users through installation (npm install @sentry/nextjs), wizard execution (npx @sentry/wizard@latest -i nextjs), and configuration of client, server, and edge environments using NEXT_PUBLIC_SENTRY_DSN.
• Google Analytics Setup (Next.js): Provides instructions for adding the Google Analytics script to the root layout file, utilizing NEXT_PUBLIC_GA_MEASUREMENT_ID, creating event tracking utility functions, and setting up page view tracking.
• Event Tracking: Supports tracking common events like user signups/logins, purchases, feature usage, and custom business events.

Example prompts

• "Set up Sentry error tracking for my NestJS application."
• "Configure Google Analytics on my Next.js frontend."
• "How do I install the Sentry package in my Next.js project?"
• “Show me how to track user signups as a custom event.”

Tips & gotchas

• Use separate DSNs for development and production environments to avoid impacting live data during testing.
• Be mindful of user privacy regulations (GDPR/CCPA) and avoid tracking sensitive data.
• The skill integrates with the /monitoring-setup command for automated workflows.
