Installation
PHP >= 7.2
Laravel >= 5.5
To verify what version of PHP is installed on your server run this command in your terminal: php -v
To know what is the Laravel version behind your application run this command in your application's main directory: php artisan --version
Before installing the package you should clear your Laravel configuration to avoid unexpected error loading the default package config file.
Run the command below to clear your cached configuration:
php artisan config:clear
Type the command below in your terminal to install the latest version of the package:
composer require inspector-apm/inspector-laravel
If your application is based on Lumen you need to manually register the InspectorServiceProvider:
$app->register(\Inspector\Laravel\InspectorServiceProvider::class);
Get a new Ingestion Key by signing up for Inspector (https://app.inspector.dev/register) and creating a new application.
Put the Inspector Ingestion Key in your environment file:
INSPECTOR_INGESTION_KEY=[ingestion key]
Execute the test command to check if your app can send data to inspector correctly:
php artisan inspector:test
Go to https://app.inspector.dev/home to explore your data.
By default Inspector will monitor everything executed in background:
Queued Jobs
Artisan commands
Unhandled Exceptions
