Quick answers

How do I get started?

Open Getting started and follow the setup paths — connect your app, install the SDK or a log shipper, add AgentDraft for email-flow checks when needed, and verify the first signal.

What should I actually monitor first?

Start from our copy-paste health-check recipes — each one targets a specific money-losing failure mode (checkout, webhooks, auth, DNS/SSL, cron) with the monitors to create and a triage checklist. Lift one, swap in your domain, and you have a working check in minutes.

How do I send events from my app?

Use any Sentry-compatible SDK with a Nightlamp DSN — see SDK integration for JavaScript, Python, and other supported runtimes.

How do I stream logs into Nightlamp?

Point a Loki-compatible shipper (Fluent Bit, Promtail, Vector, Alloy) at our endpoint, or use a CloudWatch Logs subscription. Walkthroughs live under Log subscriptions.

How do I test magic-link or OTP email?

Connect AgentDraft, enable the email-flow QA mailbox, then create an email-flow monitor for magic-link, OTP, signup confirmation, or round-trip delivery.

Where is the API reference?

Start with Programmatic setup for automation flows, then use the API reference for exact schemas.
