Development Configuration

Telemetry and Error Tracking

Power Platform ToolBox uses Sentry.io for error tracking and telemetry. By default, telemetry is enabled to help improve the application. You can disable it in the application settings.

Environment Variables

The application supports the following environment variables in a .env file:

• SUPABASE_URL - Your Supabase project URL (required for tool registry)
• SUPABASE_ANON_KEY - Your Supabase anonymous key (required for tool registry)
• SENTRY_DSN - Your Sentry DSN for error tracking (optional)
• SENTRY_AUTH_TOKEN - Your Sentry auth token for source map upload (optional, production only)
• SENTRY_ORG - Your Sentry organization slug (optional, production only)
• SENTRY_PROJECT - Your Sentry project slug (optional, production only)

All environment variables are injected at build time and not exposed in the final bundle.
