What CoIsland watches in Langfuse

Each monitor kind brings its own query and its own card in the notch.

How to watch Langfuse from your Mac’s notch

Each monitor is a ring in the notch that counts down to its next check. When a generation fails, the notch opens with its sound and the card reads checkout-assistant › answer · Error · gpt-4o · 2.5s · $1.50 under the error’s message. A click opens the alert in CoIsland with the status message, the tokens, the cost and the user, and Open in Langfuse goes to the trace, on that observation. Connect Langfuse covers every field and kind.

Connect it in three steps

  1. Create an API key pair in your Langfuse project's settings (an Owner or Admin can).

  2. Add a Langfuse connector with your region, or your own address, and both keys. Test connector names the project.

  3. Pick a monitor kind or an example and choose when it alerts.

Built for Langfuse

  • All four Langfuse Cloud regions (EU, US, Japan, HIPAA) and self-hosted Langfuse.
  • Read only: CoIsland sends GET requests only, though the keys could also write traces.
  • Errors and scores alert once each; cost and latency alert as they cross the limit, and again after they came back.
  • The secret key stays in the macOS Keychain and goes only to your Langfuse.

Then hand it to an agent

A click on the alert opens the agent in a terminal under it, with the whole alert as its first message.

Langfuse questions

Which keys does it need?

A project's public and secret key, from Project Settings › API Keys. Only a project Owner or Admin can create keys; a Member can see the list but not create one.

Does it fit the free Hobby plan?

Yes. Errors and scores use the general and Observations APIs (30 requests a minute on Hobby). Cost and latency use the Metrics API, which Hobby limits to 100 calls a day, so those monitors check hourly by default.

Does it read my prompts and completions?

No. It asks for names, levels, status messages, models, usage, cost and latency, never an observation's input or output.
