Node.js

H.init("<YOUR_PROJECT_ID>", {
  tracingOrigins: ['localhost', 'example.myapp.com/backend'],
  networkRecording: {
    enabled: true,

  },
});

Install the Highlight JS SDK.

Install the @highlight-run/node package with your package manager.

# with yarn
yarn add @highlight-run/node

# with pnpm
pnpm add @highlight-run/node

# with npm
npm install @highlight-run/node

Initialize the Highlight JS SDK.

Initialize the Highlight JS SDK with your project ID.

import { H } from '@highlight-run/node'

H.init({projectID: 'YOUR_PROJECT_ID'})

Optionally, report manual errors in your app.

If you need to report exceptions outside of a handler, use the Highlight SDK.

const parsed = H.parseHeaders(request.headers)
H.consumeError(error, parsed?.secureSessionId, parsed?.requestId)

Verify that your SDK is reporting errors.

You'll want to throw an exception in one of your Node.js handlers. Access the API handler and make sure the error shows up in Highlight.

const onError = (request, error) => {
  const parsed = H.parseHeaders(request.headers)
  H.consumeError(error, parsed.secureSessionId, parsed.requestId)
}

const main = () => {
  try {
    throw new Error('example error!') 
  } catch (e) {
    onError(e)
  }
}

Verify your backend logs are being recorded.

With the JS SDKs, your logs are reported automatically from console methods. Visit the highlight logs portal and check that backend logs are coming in.
