PostHog logs for Next.js

This skill helps you add PostHog log ingestion to Next.js applications.

Reference files

  • references/nextjs.md - Next.js logs installation - docs
  • references/start-here.md - Getting started with logs - docs
  • references/search.md - Search logs - docs
  • references/best-practices.md - Logging best practices - docs
  • references/troubleshooting.md - Logs troubleshooting - docs
  • references/link-session-replay.md - Link session replay - docs
  • references/debug-logs-mcp.md - Debug logs with mcp - docs

Consult the documentation for API details and framework-specific patterns.

Key principles

  • Environment variables: Always use environment variables for PostHog keys and OpenTelemetry endpoints. Never hardcode them.
  • Minimal changes: Add log export alongside existing logging. Don't replace or restructure existing logging code.
  • OpenTelemetry: PostHog logs use the OpenTelemetry protocol. Configure an OTLP exporter pointed at PostHog's ingest endpoint.
  • Structured logging: Prefer structured log formats with key-value properties over plain text messages.

Framework guidelines

  • For Next.js 15.3+, initialize PostHog in instrumentation-client.ts for the simplest setup
