Getting Started with DevLens

DevLens consists of three services that work together to provide real-time error monitoring, AI-powered fixes, and system health checks.

Component	Description	Deployment Options	Required?
App	• Web interface for viewing errors and health status. • Sends alerts to Slack, Teams, PagerDuty, and other tools. • Manages data storage and archiving.	container, standalone binary	✅ Yes
Agent	• Collects system metrics like CPU, memory, and network usage. • Connects to Sentry SDKs so your application can send errors without a native Sentry agent. • Must be deployed alongside the appication you are monitoring (machine or container).	Kubernetes DaemonSet, container, standalone binary	❌ Optional
AI Service	• Connector between App and AI services, enabling suggestions on how to fix errors.	container, standalone binary	❌ Optional

The App is always required, and provides an API for simple error reporting. The Agent and AI Service are optional, depending on your specific feature needs.

Installation Options

Method	Description
Docker Compose	Run docker-compose up -d. This command downloads all three images, configures environment variables, and starts the services.
Single Binary	Download the binaries for your operating system from the releases page and run them as system services.

!!! tip If you only need the main dashboard (for a demo or local testing), you can skip the Agent and AI Service. The App will still receive events through the DevLens API.

Once the services are running, open http://localhost:8000 in your browser to view your application's errors, health status, and AI fix suggestions.
