About convex-sentinel
convex-sentinel is a skill for capturing and triaging production errors in a Convex deployment. It stores redacted error data in that deployment and can optionally route recurring, non-transient issues to ai-runner for a fix PR.
Key features
- 01Captures server and client errors
- 02Records OCC and scale signals
- 03Redacts data before writes
- 04Monitors new production errors
- 05Optional triage and fix PR handoff
Use cases
- 01Reviewing production function failures
- 02Tracking client-side crashes
- 03Reacting to recurring error patterns

Details
From the project READMECapture production errors in your own deployment
Install @convex-dev/sentinel to capture production errors (server function failures, client JS/React crashes, OCC and scale signals) into a table in the user's OWN deployment, redacted at write time, then react to new ones. Data never leaves the user's deployment.
Workflow
- Install the component:
app.use(sentinel)inconvex/convex.config.ts. - Wire the client SDK: a React error boundary plus
window.onerror/unhandledrejectionand breadcrumbs. - Redaction runs at write time and is on by default (default-deny on secret key names and value patterns).
- Read recent errors with the Convex CLI (
convex data,run-once-query); react to new ones via the monitor'sprod_errorevent. - Optionally enable the self-healing cron:
triageclassifies each error and, for recurring non-transient ones, hands it to ai-runner to open a fix PR.
Rules
- Redaction is mandatory and on by default — never store raw secrets; the agent's reads reach the model provider.
- Data stays in the user's deployment; never send it to a third party.
- Sample and cap to control volume and cost.
- Capturing PROD errors needs a deployed cloud app; install works anonymously.
