Algolia Debug Bundle

Overview

Collect all necessary diagnostic information for Algolia support tickets or internal troubleshooting. Uses real Algolia API endpoints to gather index stats, key permissions, and query performance data.

Prerequisites

• ALGOLIA_APP_ID and ALGOLIA_ADMIN_KEY environment variables set
• curl and jq available
• Permission to read API key ACLs and index settings

Instructions

Step 1: Create the Debug Bundle Script

#!/bin/bash
# algolia-debug-bundle.sh
set -euo pipefail

APP_ID="${ALGOLIA_APP_ID:?Set ALGOLIA_APP_ID}"
API_KEY="${ALGOLIA_ADMIN_KEY:?Set ALGOLIA_ADMIN_KEY}"
BUNDLE_DIR="algolia-debug-$(date +%Y%m%d-%H%M%S)"
BASE_URL="https://${APP_ID}-dsn.algolia.net"
HEADERS=(-H "X-Algolia-Application-Id: ${APP_ID}" -H "X-Algolia-API-Key: ${API_KEY}")

mkdir -p "$BUNDLE_DIR"

echo "=== Algolia Debug Bundle ===" | tee "$BUNDLE_DIR/summary.txt"
echo "Generated: $(date -u +%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ)" | tee -a "$BUNDLE_DIR/summary.txt"
echo "App ID: $APP_ID" | tee -a "$BUNDLE_DIR/summary.txt"

# 1. List all indices with record counts
echo "--- Indices ---" >> "$BUNDLE_DIR/summary.txt"
curl -s "${BASE_URL}/1/indexes" "${HEADERS[@]}" \
  | jq '.items[] | {name, entries, dataSize, lastBuildTimeS}' \
  > "$BUNDLE_DIR/indices.json" 2>/dev/null
echo "Indices saved" >> 


  >> 
curl -s   \
  | jq  \
  >  2>/dev/null
  >> 


  >> 
curl -s   \
  | jq  \
  >  2>/dev/null
  >> 


  >> 
 host    ; 
  RESULT=$(curl -s -o /dev/null -w    2>/dev/null ||  )
    >> 



  >> 
node --version >>  2>/dev/null ||   >> 
npm list algoliasearch 2>/dev/null >>  ||   >> 


  >> 
curl -s https://status.algolia.com/api/v2/status.json \
  | jq -r  >>  2>/dev/null


tar -czf  
 -rf 
 
 

Step 2: Programmatic Debug Data Collection

import { algoliasearch } from 'algoliasearch';

async function collectDebugInfo() {
  const client = algoliasearch(
    process.env.ALGOLIA_APP_ID!,
    process.env.ALGOLIA_ADMIN_KEY!
  );

  const debug: Record<string, any> = {};

  // Index list and stats
  const { items } = await client.listIndices();
  debug.indices = items.map(i => ({
    name: i.name,
    entries: i.entries,
    dataSize: i.dataSize,
    lastBuildTimeS: i.lastBuildTimeS,
  }));

  // Per-index settings for problematic index
  const indexName = 'products'; // Target index
  try {
    debug.settings = await client.getSettings({ indexName });
  } catch (e) {
    debug.settings = `Failed: ${e}`;
  }

  // Recent logs
  const { logs } = await client.getLogs({
    indexName,
    : ,
    : ,  
  });
  debug. = logs.( ({
    : l.,
    : l.,
    : l.,
    : l.,
  }));

  
   {
     keyInfo =  client.({
      : process..!,
    });
    debug. = keyInfo.;
  }  (e) {
    debug. = ;
  }

   debug;
}

Sensitive Data Handling

ALWAYS REDACT before sharing:

• Full API keys (only share last 4 chars)
• User PII in query logs
• Internal hostnames or IPs

Safe to include:

• App ID (it's in every frontend bundle)
• Error codes and status codes
• Index names and record counts
• SDK and Node.js versions
• Processing times and latencies

Error Handling

Issue	Cause	Solution
getLogs returns empty	Logs retention is 7 days (Grow) or 30 days (Premium)	Run sooner after incident
getApiKey 403	Non-admin key can only read its own info	Use Admin key
curl returns 000	DNS or firewall blocking	Check outbound HTTPS to *.algolia.net
No jq available	Not installed	apt install jq or parse JSON differently
