Monitoring your app with alerts and logs

Alerts and logs in your app dashboard show you what’s happening in your app. Alerts catch the problems your app users run into and help you fix them. Logs give you a searchable history of everything that happens in your app.

Using production alerts

Production alerts watch your published app for problems your app users run into, such as records that fail to save, backend functions or server code that return errors, or integrations that fail. Turn on alerts for your app, then review and fix what they find.

​

Turning alerts on or off

Alerts are off until you turn them on, and you turn them on for each app separately. Once they’re on, Base44 starts watching your published app and lists problems on the Alerts tab. To turn on production alerts:

1. Go to your app editor.
2. Click Dashboard.
3. Click Monitoring in the sidebar.
4. Click Turn on alerts on the Alerts tab.
5. Click Turn on to confirm.

To turn off production alerts:

1. Go to your app editor.
2. Click Dashboard.
3. Click Settings.
4. Turn off the Production alerts toggle.

​

Reviewing alerts

Each alert shows how serious the problem is and what kind of problem it is, such as a data, backend function, server, or integration problem. The number next to Monitoring in the sidebar shows how many alerts are open. New problems can take a few minutes to appear. Alerts are sorted into 3 views:

• Open: Problems that need your attention.
• Fixed: Alerts you fixed, and problems that stopped on their own.
• Dismissed: Alerts you chose not to act on.

To review your alerts:

1. Go to your app editor.
2. Click Dashboard.
3. Click Monitoring in the sidebar.
4. Click the Alerts tab.
5. (Optional) Choose Open, Fixed or Dismissed from the view menu, and use the category and severity filters to narrow the list.
6. Click an alert to see its details. You see what happened, how many times it happened and, when it’s known, how many people it affected. Click More details to see the error, the page it came from, and when it was first and last seen.

​

Fixing alerts

Each alert shows the best way to fix it. For problems in your app, the AI can work on a fix for you. For problems with your plan or setup, the alert offers a quick fix instead, such as upgrading your plan, adding credits, or verifying your domain. The AI explains what’s wrong and suggests a fix for you to approve. Your fix reaches your app users only after you publish. Once it’s live, the alert moves to Fixed. If the problem comes back, the alert reopens. If you leave your code as it is, the alert shows No changes made. To try again, click Try again in the alert’s row. To fix an alert with AI:

1. Go to your app editor.
2. Click Dashboard.
3. Click Monitoring in the sidebar.
4. On the Alerts tab, do one of the following:
   • Fix one alert: Click Fix with AI in the alert’s row.
   • Fix up to 10 alerts at once: Select the alerts, click Fix [number] selected, then click Fix with AI to confirm.
5. In the AI chat, read the explanation, then choose the option to apply the fix. You can also type a reply to change the fix or leave your code as it is.
6. Go back to Monitoring in your app dashboard.
7. Click Publish in the banner above the list of alerts.

​

Getting email alerts

Create an email alert to hear about a problem the next time it happens, without checking the Alerts tab. The first time the problem happens again, you get an email and a Base44 notification. After that, you hear about it at most once a day while it keeps happening. Your email alert can take a moment to set up. Once it’s ready, the alert shows Email alert on. To edit or stop the email alert, click the alert on the Alerts tab, or go to the Workflows page. You can’t create an email alert for a dismissed alert or for an alert about your plan or credits. To create an email alert:

1. Go to your app editor.
2. Click Dashboard.
3. Click Monitoring in the sidebar.
4. Click the alert on the Alerts tab to see its details.
5. Click Create email alert.

​

Dismissing alerts

Dismiss an alert you don’t plan to act on, and it moves out of your open alerts. A dismissed alert stays dismissed even if the problem happens again, until you restore it. To dismiss an alert:

1. Go to your app editor.
2. Click Dashboard.
3. Click Monitoring in the sidebar.
4. Click the More actions icon next to the alert on the Alerts tab.

   

5. Click Dismiss.

Exploring logs

Use logs to troubleshoot problems, confirm that automations ran, and review who did what in your app, from user actions and function calls to schema and integration changes. Each event shows its type, who did it, and when, and you can expand any event to see its full details.

​

Understanding log categories

Logs are grouped into 2 categories.

• Runtime: Activity that happens while people use your app. This includes entity operations (created, updated, deleted, restored), user events (registered, login, invited, role changed, page visits), access requests, function calls, integration and automation executions, agent conversations, data imports, file uploads, and security checks.
• Setup: Changes to how your app is built and configured. This includes app lifecycle events (created, published, unpublished), entity schema changes, payment and OAuth integration setup, and domain changes.

To see only runtime or only setup events, use the category drop-down above the table.

​

Filtering logs

Use the controls above the table to focus on the events you care about.

• All time drop-down: Show events from a time range, from the last 15 minutes to the last 30 days, or choose Custom range to pick your own dates.
• All Events drop-down: Filter by a specific event type, such as Entity Updated or Function Call.
• Filter by email: Enter an email address to see one person’s activity.
• Errors only: Turn this on to show only failed events.

Use Refresh to load the latest events, and the X next to the filters to clear them.

​

Viewing event details

Click a log row to expand it. Depending on the event, the expanded row shows:

• Details: The full metadata of the event, such as the entity and fields involved.
• Outputs: What the event produced, for example a function’s response.
• Error: The error message, when the event failed.

To copy the details, outputs or error, click the Copy icon next to the one you want.
