FAQ
Example:
In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
- Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
- To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
- Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
- If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
- Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.
Informations about the package larametrics
Larametrics
A self-hosted metrics and notifications platform for Laravel apps, Larametrics records and notifies you of changes made to models, incoming requests, and messages written to the log.
A full version of the docs can be found here, below you'll find a quick 'Getting Started' guide.
Requirements
- PHP 5.6.4 or higher
- Laravel 5.2 or higher
- guzzlehttp/guzzle (if notifications enabled)
Installation
Larametrics is installed as a standalone package through Composer:
After Composer finishes up, you'll have to add the following line to your config/app.php file if you're not on Laravel 5.5 or higher:
Additionally, you'll want to get the config file copied over and add in the necessary database structure with:
Note: Notifications use queued jobs when available to prevent delays in app response time. If you don't have this database table set up already for queues, run php artisan queue:table && php artisan migrate.
Displaying the Dashboard
Once you have the package tied in to your Laravel app, it starts collecting data based off of the default config file and storing it in your database. In order to view the dashboard associated with Larametrics and analyse your metrics and notifications, you'll need to add in a helper method to your routes file of choice.
Include that where (and how) you want the dashboard to appear. For reference, all Larametrics routes are wrapped under a /metrics prefix, but you can adjust where you want the routes to appear.
In the following example, the Larametrics dashboard will only be viewable to people who are signed into the application, and visit /admin/metrics:
Configuration
Configuring Larametrics for use within your Laravel app takes place mainly in the config/larametrics.php file. Each item is broken down in the comment lines above it, describing what that item does and what value(s) it's anticipating.
There are also two .env variables you'll need to set depending on if you use notifications:
- LARAMETRICS_NOTIFICATION_EMAIL, the address that all email notifications will be routed to
- LARAMETRICS_NOTIFICATION_SLACK_WEBHOOK, a Slack webhook configured for receiving requests and adding messages to a specified channel. More info here.
Additionally, there's a few other niche variables that you can set specifically for notifications. See a brief description of each below, or a more details on the documentation site.
- LARAMETRICS_FROM_EMAIL, the email address that notifications will appear to be sent from
- LARAMETRICS_FROM_NAME, the name that will appear alongside associated email notifications
- LARAMETRICS_MODEL_SUBJECT, the subject of notification emails that arrive when models are created/updated/deleted
- LARAMETRICS_LOG_SUBJECT, the subject of notification emails that arrive when an application log event is recorded
- LARAMETRICS_ROUTE_SUBJECT, the subject of notification emails that arrive when a route has been visited
Roadmap
Larametrics is still in development, constantly being optimized and attempting to be made compatible for older Laravel versions. Here's what's on the path ahead:
- [x] Add the ability to ignore specific request paths
- [x] Integrate custom webhooks as a notification option
- [x] Move listeners out of root directory and into their own namespace
- [x] Optimize front-end for mobile devices
- [x] Expand on the notification filter options
- [ ] Integrate Twilio for text message notifications
- [ ] Optimize database querying for expired models to improve performance
- [ ] Add Artisan commands for displaying Larametrics data
- [ ] Add watcher for Queues
- [ ] Add watcher for Scheduled Tasks
- [ ] Compatibility for Laravel 4.2+
Difference to Laravel Telescope
In October 2018, Taylor Otwell announced Laravel Telescope, which acts as a debugging tool for Laravel applications. For a distinction between Larametrics and Telescope, please see this discussion here.
