How to set up Console Messages

This feature requires Experience Monitoring, available on Enterprise plans, or as an add-on on Pro plans. You will need to contact your Customer Success Manager to have this feature enabled.

Console messages can help you to find and understand errors impacting your site that are surfaced within the DevTools Console.

About the DevTools Console

The DevTools Console is a developer tool available on web browsers, commonly used to understand what's happening in your website's code. It displays messages logged by the browser, or added by web developers themselves, which help to identify and troubleshoot problems, such as errors or network issues.

In Error Analysis you can view the console messages added by developers, to help you find and resolve any issues more quickly.

Learn more about viewing and analyzing console messages in Contentsquare.

Up to 20 console messages can be collected per pageview, and this is included in the limit of 20 custom errors per pageview.

In order to view console messages in Error Analysis, you will need to set up and determine the errors you wish to track via your Contentsquare Console.

FAQs

Why do I see errors/warnings coming from the tag?

To track arguments passed to console functions, the tracking tag needs to monkey patch these functions. Monkey patching is a known technique to extend the code of functions without altering the original source code. In doing so, the tracking tag will appear in the stack trace even if it's not the origin of the call. The tracking tag will never call the console to log errors.
