SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Post-deploy canary monitoring detects live-app issues by watching console errors, performance regressions, and page failures, enabling teams to identify problems before they impact users.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Monitor live app for console errors, performance regressions, and page failures using the browse daemon.
  • Take periodic screenshots and compare against pre-deploy baselines to surface anomalies.
  • Generate alerts and prompt for quick triage when anomalies are detected.
  • Use after deployment or during production monitoring to verify stability.

Quick Start

Run the canary monitor after deployment to start live checks, baseline comparisons, and alert generation.

FAQPage Schema
How do I monitor live application outputs for console errors after deployment?

Post-deploy monitoring tracks live application outputs for console errors, performance regressions, and page failures. It takes periodic screenshots and compares them against pre-deploy baselines to surface anomalies and generate alerts for quick triage.

What is canary monitoring and how does it detect production regressions?

Canary monitoring is a post-deploy technique that watches live application outputs and compares them against pre-deploy baselines. It detects production regressions by capturing periodic screenshots and alerting on visual or performance anomalies before users are impacted.

How do I set up a post-deploy baseline comparison for my web application?

You set up post-deploy baseline comparison by taking periodic screenshots of the live application and comparing them against pre-deploy capture states. This surfaces visual anomalies, page failures, and performance regressions for alert generation.

Can I use bash and glob tools to orchestrate production observability alerts?

Yes, production observability alerting can be orchestrated using Bash, Read, Write, Glob, and AskUserQuestion tools. These coordinate the monitoring workflow, manage baseline files, and trigger user prompts for triage when anomalies are detected.

What's the best way to catch page failures before users notice them?

The best way to catch page failures before users notice is running a post-deploy canary monitor. It watches live application outputs, compares periodic screenshots against pre-deploy baselines, and generates alerts to prompt quick triage of anomalies.

When should I not use automated screenshot comparisons for post-deploy monitoring?

Automated screenshot comparisons for post-deploy monitoring may not suit applications with highly dynamic or randomized visual content, as these lack stable pre-deploy baselines. The tool works best when baseline states are deterministic and visual anomalies clearly indicate regressions.
