Application Insights for Laravel

Installation

Add the following to your composer.json file:

"repositories": [
    {
      "type": "git",
      "url": "https://github.com/mondago/ApplicationInsights-PHP"
    },
    {
        "type": "git",
        "url": "https://github.com/mondago/laravel-azure-application-insights"
    }
],

and require it by adding the following line to your composer.json file under "require":

"mondago/laravel-application-insights": "^0.6.0"

Optionally, you can publish the config file of this package with this command:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Mondago\ApplicationInsights\ServiceProvider"

Middleware

As a convenience you may choose to use the Mondago\ApplicationInsights\Middleware\TrackRequest middleware which will send the request and response to Application Insights. The middleware utilizes terminable middleware from Laravel to ensure that tracking the request doesn't block the response being sent.

Since 0.6.2, if the request has a session started, this middleware will set the session id as the anonymous user id to allow tracking of user flows. Make sure to include this in each route group you'd like to track requests for, as attaching it to the global middleware will result in the session never being set. You can disable this by setting the environment variable APPINSIGHTS_TRACK_ANONYMOUS_USERS to false.

Logging

Since 0.6.2 a custom monolog handler is provided for sending logs to application insights. This handler captures exceptions as well as other log levels. Exceptions are tracked as exceptions, and log messages are sent with their closes matching severity level.

To use this, update your config/logging.php configuration with the following:

'channels' => [
    // other channels...
    'app-insights' => [
        'driver' => 'custom',
        'via' => Mondago\ApplicationInsights\Logging\CreateApplicationInsightsLogger::class,
    ],
]

You might then choose to include this in your stack log handler:

'channels' => [
    // other channels...
    'stack' => [
        'driver' => 'stack',
        'channels' => ['stderr', 'daily', 'app-insights'],
    ],
]

Logging Migrations

This package will automatically send migration events to application insights when enabled. Since 0.6.2 this includes when no migrations were ran. This is great for container images that run php artisan migrate on startup.
