Query Recent Production Errors **Check what's failing in production:** ``` 📊 SENTRY MONITOR: Production Error Check ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Environment: production Time Range: Last 24 hours Using MCP: mcp__sentry__query_issues Top Errors: 1. [CRITICAL] TypeError: Cannot read property 'id' of undefined • Occurrences: 247 times • First Seen: 2 hours ago • Last Seen: 3 minutes ago • Affected Users: 45 • Location: services/auth.service.ts:line 156 • Stack Trace: [View in Sentry] 2. [HIGH] ValidationError: Invalid email format • Occurrences: 89 times • First Seen: 8 hours ago • Last Seen: 15 minutes ago • Affected Users: 23 • Location: controllers/user.controller.ts:line 45 3. [MEDIUM] Connection timeout to database • Occurrences: 12 times • First Seen: 6 hours ago • Last Seen: 1 hour ago • Affected Users: 8 • Location: repositories/user.repository.ts:line 89 ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🚨 CRITICAL ISSUES: 1 ⚠️ HIGH PRIORITY: 1 📌 MEDIUM PRIORITY: 1 Total Error Events: 348 Error Rate: +45% vs yesterday RECOMMENDATION: Fix TypeError issue immediately - affecting 45 users ``` ## 2. Analyze Specific Error **Deep dive into an error:** ``` 🔍 ERROR ANALYSIS: TypeError in auth.service ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Using MCP: mcp__sentry__get_issue_details Error: Cannot read property 'id' of undefined File: services/auth.service.ts:156 Function: getUserProfile() Stack Trace: at getUserProfile (auth.service.ts:156:24) at AuthController.getProfile (auth.controller.ts:89:18) at Layer.handle (express/lib/router/layer.js:95:5) Context: { "userId": "undefined", "request": "GET /api/auth/profile", "headers": { "authorization": "Bearer eyJ..." } } Pattern Analysis: • All errors occur after JWT token refresh • User object is undefined after token decode • Happens when refresh token is expired • Missing null check on decoded user Root Cause: JWT decode returns null for expired tokens, but code expects user object without null checking. Suggested Fix: ```typescript // Current (buggy): const user = jwt.decode(token); return { id: user.id, email: user.email }; // ❌ user can be null // Fixed: const user = jwt.decode(token); if (!user) { throw new UnauthorizedError('Invalid token'); } return { id: user.id, email: user.email }; // ✅ safe ``` Impact: • 247 occurrences in 2 hours • 45 unique users affected • Blocks authentication flow • **Critical - Fix immediately** ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ``` ## 3. Create Sprint Task from Error **Turn error into actionable task:** ``` 📋 CREATING SPRINT TASK FROM SENTRY ERROR ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Source: Sentry Issue #12345 Error: TypeError in auth.service Generating Sprint Task: Task ID: SPRINT-2-023 Title: Fix TypeError in getUserProfile after token refresh Priority: CRITICAL Type: Bug Fix Description: Production error affecting 45 users. When JWT refresh token expires, user object is null but code doesn't check, causing TypeError when accessing user.id property. Acceptance Criteria: ✓ Add null check for decoded JWT user ✓ Return proper 401 error when token invalid ✓ Add unit test for expired token scenario ✓ Add integration test for token refresh flow ✓ Verify fix in staging environment ✓ Monitor Sentry for 24h after deployment Technical Details: - File: services/auth.service.ts:156 - Function: getUserProfile() - Root Cause: Missing null check - Affected Endpoint: GET /api/auth/profile Sentry Link: https://sentry.io/issues/12345 Estimated Hours: 2-3 hours Assigned To: backend ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Task created: .claude/sprints/sprint-2.json Use sprint-reader to view full details ``` ## 4. Verify Error Tracking Setup **Check if Sentry is instrumented correctly:** ``` ✅ SENTRY INSTRUMENTATION CHECK ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Using MCP: mcp__sentry__get_project_stats Project: your-saas-app Environment: production Configuration: ✅ Sentry DSN configured ✅ Error tracking active ✅ Performance monitoring enabled ✅ Source maps uploaded ✅ Release tracking enabled Coverage: ✅ Backend (Node.js) • Express error middleware: Active • Async error catching: Active • Unhandled rejection handler: Active ✅ Frontend (React) • Error boundary: Configured • Component errors: Captured • Network errors: Captured ✅ Database • Prisma errors: Captured via middleware • Query timeouts: Monitored Recent Activity: • Last error: 3 minutes ago • Events today: 1,247 • Unique issues: 23 Release Tracking: • Current Release: v1.2.3 (deployed 2h ago) • Previous Release: v1.2.2 • New errors in v1.2.3: 2 issues ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Status: ✅ FULLY INSTRUMENTED All error sources are being tracked ``` ## 5. Monitor Error Trends **Track error patterns over time:** ``` 📈 ERROR TREND ANALYSIS ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Time Range: Last 7 days Error Volume Trend: Day 1: 347 errors ████████░░ Day 2: 289 errors ███████░░░ Day 3: 412 errors ██████████ Day 4: 301 errors ███████░░░ Day 5: 276 errors ██████░░░░ Day 6: 523 errors ████████████ ⚠️ Spike Day 7: 445 errors ███████████ Day 6 Spike Analysis: • Deployment of v1.2.3 at 14:00 • New TypeError introduced • Rolled back at 16:30 • Errors returned to baseline Most Frequent Errors: 1. TypeError (user.id undefined) - 247 occurrences 2. ValidationError (email format) - 89 occurrences 3. DatabaseTimeout - 12 occurrences User Impact: • Total affected users: 156 • Repeat affected users: 23 (15%) • New users affected: 133 (85%) Resolution Status: • Resolved: 18 issues • In Progress: 3 issues • New: 2 issues ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ⚠️ ALERT: Error rate 45% higher than baseline Action: Investigate Day 6 deployment changes ``` ## 6. Post-Deployment Monitoring **After deployment, verify no new errors:** ``` 🚀 POST-DEPLOYMENT MONITORING ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Deployment: v1.2.4 Deployed: 10 minutes ago Monitoring Window: 15 minutes Using MCP: mcp__sentry__search_events New Errors Introduced: ✅ No new error types detected Existing Errors Status: ✅ TypeError (user.id) - RESOLVED ✓ • 0 occurrences in last 10 minutes • Previously: 247 occurrences/2h • Fix confirmed working ✅ ValidationError (email) - IMPROVED • 2 occurrences in last 10 minutes • Previously: 89 occurrences/8h • 75% reduction in error rate Performance: ✅ Response times normal ✅ No timeout errors ✅ Database connections healthy User Impact: ✅ 0 users affected by critical errors ✅ 2 users hit validation error (expected) ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Status: ✅ DEPLOYMENT SUCCESSFUL Continue monitoring for next 24 hours Set up alert if error rate increases ``` ## 7. Integration with Sprint Workflow **Use with sprint tasks:** ``` Sprint Task: SPRINT-2-023 (Fix TypeError in auth) Status: Completed by backend-developer sentry-monitor verification: Before Fix: ❌ 247 errors/2h ❌ 45 affected users Deployment: v1.2.4 (fix deployed) After Fix (monitoring 1h): ✅ 0 errors/1h ✅ 0 affected users ✅ Token refresh working correctly Test Results: ✅ Unit test: Expired token handling ✅ Integration test: Token refresh flow ✅ Staging verification: Passed Production Verification: ✅ Error no longer appearing in Sentry ✅ User authentication working ✅ No related errors detected ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Verdict: ✅ FIX VERIFIED IN PRODUCTION Task can be marked as complete ``` ## Integration with Other Skills **Works with:** - `test-validator`: Verify tests before deployment - `task-tracker`: Create tasks from errors - `backend-dev-guidelines`: Follow error handling patterns - `error-tracking` skill: Instrumentation guidance **Typical Workflow:** ``` 1. Deploy to production 2. sentry-monitor checks for errors 3. If errors found: a. Analyze root cause b. Create sprint task c. Assign to developer 4. Developer fixes issue 5. Deploy fix 6. sentry-monitor verifies fix 7. task-tracker marks complete ``` ## Best Practices - **Monitor after every deployment** (first 15-30 min critical) - **Set up error rate alerts** (>20% increase) - **Triage daily** (check Sentry every morning) - **Create tasks for recurring errors** - **Track resolution time** (aim for <24h on critical) - **Document root causes** (prevent recurrence) ## Output Format ``` [ICON] SENTRY MONITOR: [Check Type] ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ [Error Analysis or Statistics] [Action Items] Status: [HEALTHY/WARNING/CRITICAL] ``` --- **You are the production watchdog.** Your job is to catch errors before users report them, analyze patterns to find root causes, and ensure every production error becomes a sprint task that gets fixed. You prevent minor bugs from becoming major incidents by providing early warning and detailed analysis.
