Where is this?

You can explore these controls on the Settings > Web Config page of your project. You’ll see a page that looks something like this:

Domain Level Controls

Each added domain has three toggles.

  1. Enabled - If this is off, the recorder will be completely disabled for that particular domain.
  2. Show Share Devtools Button - By default this is on for localhost to enable easy sharing and off everywhere else. If you want to have a button built into your own site to prompt a share, you can use the Javascript API playerzero.prompt() call. Ctrl + K works everywhere however.
  3. Monitoring - If monitoring is off, it means that we won’t capture any errors or product analytics events from that domain. By default we have this on everywhere except localhost, since local development on localhost tends to generate a lot of unnecessary noise. We recommend having monitoring on for your production and staging environments, and off everywhere else.

You can also add a domain as well to configure these three levers in your own way. (Glob patterns are supported to wildcard match subdomains)

Adding a domain - a few quirks to keep your eye out for * When adding a domain, make sure to include the www. prepending your domain if your domain truly starts with that. Often times browsers hide the www. portion. If it’s a different subdomain, you have nothing to worry about! * Rules are pulled from the first matching domain. So if you have _.amazon.com as the first domain and then www.amazon.com as the second, the rules of _.amazon.com will take precedence because it is first.

Example Domain Setup

At PlayerZero here’s how we’ve set up our environments.

Here’s why:

  1. Domain 1: localhost On localhost we want to be able to share devtools, but we don’t want to have monitoring on.
  2. Domain 2: go.playerzero.app This is our production, and we definitely want to capture all issues and therefore have monitoring on. However we don’t want a blue button on every page and therefore built it into our support page using the API.
  3. Domain 3: *.playerzero.app Our QA and staging environments are subdomains of *.playerzero.app. Therefore when we’re testing our code we want easy shareability of devtools with the button, and monitoring since our QA environments are relatively stable.
  4. Domain 3: All other domains Well, we don’t have any deployments outside of our main domain, so we don’t want to capture any data from outside of our domains.

​
Network Performance Threshold

PlayerZero will track moments where an API response takes > 8000 ms to resolve from the clients perspective. If you want to tweak this threshold based on your goals, feel free to tweak it to what’s most meaningful to you.

​
Special API Error Phrases

Sometimes systems return 200 status codes, but are actually failing. This is rare. If you have any special phrases to look out for in the response bodies, let us know by creating a Special API Error Phrase. If we ever see it, we’ll start building a story around it for you.

​
Key Filtering (Beta)

By default we capture API requests and responses, and use a series of industry standard regexes and filtering to remove most of the basic PII & PCI information we can find. This includes, but is not limited to:

  • Emails
  • SSN
  • Telephone numbers
  • Addresses
  • Names
  • Credit card numbers
  • Authorization
  • And many, many more filters.

But it’s always possible for us to miss something. If there’s a particular JSON key you don’t want us to capture, you can tell us here and we’ll redact it on the browser side before it ever hits our server.
