Quickstart
Vercel Log Drain (Zero Code)
Forward your Vercel logs to DeepTracer automatically — no SDK needed.
If your app is deployed on Vercel, you can send all your logs to DeepTracer without installing any packages. Vercel will forward them automatically.
Setup
-
Go to your DeepTracer dashboard and create a project. Copy your API key.
-
In your Vercel dashboard, go to Project Settings > Log Drains.
-
Add a new log drain:
- Endpoint:
https://ingest.deeptracer.dev/ingest/drain - Headers: Add
Authorization: Bearer dt_your_api_key_here - Sources: Select all (Build, Edge, Serverless, Static)
- Endpoint:
-
Click Save. Logs start flowing immediately.
That's it. Open your DeepTracer dashboard and you'll see logs appearing in real-time.
What you get
- All server-side logs from your Vercel deployments
- Errors are automatically detected and grouped
- Request IDs for correlating logs to specific requests
- Deployment info attached to every log entry
What you don't get
Log drains only capture server-side output. For full coverage, you'll also want:
- Client-side error tracking — browser crashes, React errors
- Distributed tracing — request waterfall visualizations
- AI/LLM monitoring — token usage and cost tracking
- Custom logging — structured metadata on your log entries
Want the full picture? Combine log drains with the SDK. Follow the Next.js Quickstart to add the SDK alongside your log drain — they work great together.
