Monitoring
Workspace logs, published-app errors and notification channels.
What's monitored
Across XAEIO you can observe four layers — pick the one that matches what you're trying to answer:
- Workspace backend while iterating in dev
- Published apps once you've shipped
- Project events delivered as notifications
Workspace: backend tab
Web App and Platform Builder projects expose a Backend tab in the workspace. It shows:
- A Logs sub-tab with the live stream — Python process stdout/stderr, FastAPI request lines, traceback frames. The last 1000 lines are kept; older output loads on demand
- An API sub-tab with the endpoints it exposes, and a Database sub-tab with this project's database browser
- The internal port (8080) the backend runs on inside the workspace container
Errors that bubble up here are also exposed to the agent: clicking Fix with AI sends the stack trace into the chat as a context-injected message so the agent can patch it without you copy-pasting log lines.
Workspace: preview & build errors
The Preview tab surfaces Vite build errors and runtime errors caught in the browser console. A red badge on the tab counts unresolved errors; the badge sits at z-20 with a halo ring so it's readable regardless of which tab is active.
Backend Pre-Flight Validation runs before every publish — if any backend route 500s during a smoke check, the publish is blocked and the failing route + error appear in the publish dialog.
Build Auto-Fixer: if npm run build fails during publish, a smaller model takes a shot at patching the error (up to 2 retries) before bothering you. The conversation and the diff stay in the publish history so you can see what was changed.
Published apps
Once a project is live at *.xaeio.app (or your custom domain), monitoring continues:
- Build history in the Publish dialog — every published version with the deployed commit SHA, who triggered it, and the result
- Error tracking — runtime errors from your Lambda handler are captured in CloudWatch and surfaced in the workspace; XAEIO admins can correlate them across projects via the internal monitoring dashboard
- Storage usage — every project has a storage quota; you see your current usage in Project Settings
- API usage — published Web Apps expose request counts and latency in the Backend tab, scoped to the prod database
Notifications: getting pinged about events
Configure notification channels under Settings > Notifications to be alerted on:
- Code generation completed / failed
- Team member joined or left
- AI Tasks running low
- Publish succeeded or failed
- Runner / workspace stability events
Channels: Email (always available), Slack, Discord, Telegram. Each notification type can be toggled per channel.
What's not exposed to project owners (yet)
The internal xaio-monitoring dashboard — ECS / RDS / Aurora / ElastiCache views, raw CloudWatch metrics, error funnels and support-ticket triage — is an admin-only tool used by the XAEIO operators. End users see derived signals (your published app's health, your build status, your AI task balance) but not the underlying infrastructure metrics.
