php-elasticaHow can I use Elastic APM to monitor performance in a Laravel application?

Elastic APM is a powerful tool for monitoring performance in a Laravel application. It uses real-time data to provide insights into application performance and identify potential issues.

To use Elastic APM in a Laravel application, first install the Elastic APM PHP Agent via Composer:

composer require elastic/apm-php-agent

Then add the following line to the bootstrap/app.php file:

$app->register(Elastic\Apm\Laravel\ApmServiceProvider::class);

This will enable the agent and start collecting performance data.

Next, configure the agent by adding the following to the .env file:

ELASTIC_APM_SERVICE_NAME=my-app
ELASTIC_APM_SERVER_URL=http://localhost:8200
ELASTIC_APM_SECRET_TOKEN=my-secret-token

Finally, you can use the elastic-apm artisan command to view performance data:

php artisan elastic-apm:report

This will display a report of the performance data collected by the agent.
