Monitoring
Use monitoring to catch failures that break a business flow, not to log everything. In the snippets, ext is your createExtHelper() instance.
Report business-critical failures
Report the cases where your extension can no longer do its job — for example, settings that failed to parse, or a game mechanic that broke. Use v1.monitoring.report.error with a clear message and just enough context to debug.
ts
try {
const { settings } = await ext.makeRequest('v1.ext.settings.get', null);
yourApplySettings(settings);
} catch (err) {
ext.makeRequest('v1.monitoring.report.error', {
message: 'failed to load settings',
data: { err: String(err) },
});
}Keep it focused
- Report broken business flows (a mechanic failed, a required action returned an error, state could not be restored).
- Do not report routine events, expected branches, or high-frequency noise — that buries the signal.
- Include only the context needed to reproduce the issue; never log payment or personal data.
