});

Environment Variable Configuration:

ENVIRONMENT	Configuration	Example

How to Enable captureConsoleErrors

Use one of the following methods to enable this setting:

Option 1: Using atatus.js

import atatus from 'atatus-nodejs';

atatus.start({
    licenseKey: "YOUR_LICENSE_KEY",
    appName: "YOUR_APP_NAME",

    captureConsoleErrors: true
});

export default atatus;

Option 2: Using Environment Variables

# set to env file
export ATATUS_LICENSE_KEY="YOUR_LICENSE_KEY"
export ATATUS_APP_NAME="YOUR_APP_NAME"

export ATATUS_CAPTURE_CONSOLE_ERRORS=true

This setting ensures that every console.error message is reported as an error, helping your team stay informed of issues in real time.
