Error Tracking

Track errors and resolve issues

Error tracking is one of the tools that makes your product self-driving: every exception is tied to the user who hit it, so agents have the context to ship the fix. Built to natively work with product analytics, session replay, and feature flags.

What does it do?

A hedgehog investigating an error

Error Tracking captures exceptions from across your stack and turns them into issues you can prioritize, assign, and resolve. Because PostHog already knows what's happening in your product, every issue comes with the affected user's session replay, events, and properties attached – so you can see what went wrong instead of trying to reproduce it.

Who is it for?

Error Tracking is used across teams depending on your role.

Role
Use cases
Product & Growth Engineers
Get notified when new issues happen, identify impact, and have the context to ship the fix
Founders
Know when early users hit any exception – especially valuable when shipping multiple times a week
Support Engineers
Pull quick context on user-reported errors to triage severity and share details with product engineers
DevOps / SRE
Control cost, track releases, and group high-volume exceptions (coverage still growing)

How do I use it?

There are a few ways to explore Error Tracking.

Debug errors from your editor

Triage issues, inspect stack traces, and generate fixes from Cursor, Claude Code, VS Code, or any MCP-compatible agent.

Inspect error details
Give your agent access to full stack traces, error messages, and relevant metadata.
Reproduce errors
Identify failure points and perform root cause analysis using the captured stack trace context.
Debug and create fixes
Prompt your agent to generate code fixes based on the error details.
Update issue status
Mark issues as resolved, archived, suppressed, or pending release directly from your code editor.
