PHP

Overview

Instrumenting your PHP application to generate traces, logs, and metrics is a powerful way to gain deep insights into its behavior and performance. For example, to get a clearer picture of your Laravel applications and the database statements generated through Eloquent ORM. By adding instrumentation, you enable your application to emit valuable data that can be used for monitoring, troubleshooting, and optimization.

Dash0 supports automatic instrumentation of PHP applications through OpenTelemetry's open-source and vendor-agnostic packages.

Use Cases

• Understand outgoing and incoming HTTP requests through traces and metrics. Allowing drill-downs to the database level.
• You can see which database statements were executed and how long they took, which gives you valuable data to optimize your applications.
• Reveal (uncaught) errors and the context in which they happened.
• Get deep visibility into your PHP frameworks like Laravel, Symfony, and others.
