Elastic APM agent for PHP

This is an Agent written in PHP that implements the Intake API v2 scheme to send tracking information to Elastic APM.

Why?

I couldn't find an official APM Agent for PHP.

I have searched for unofficial options but I have not found any with backwards compatibility of PHP version (>= 5.4). I know PHP 5.4 is very old (01 Mar 2012) but today there is still code working even with older versions.

I wanted to make it as easy as possible to develop new services and also to make it possible to help legacy code refactors be easier to accomplish.

I have based myself on the official API reference of version 7.8.1.

Installation

Install via composer

composer require zoilomora/elastic-apm-agent-php

Usage

You can implement any Reporter to suit your communication infrastructure (sync, async, redis, amqp, etc...).

<?php

class OwnerReporter implements \ZoiloMora\ElasticAPM\Reporter\Reporter
{
    /**
     * @param array $events
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function report(array $events)
    {
        // TODO: Implement report() method.
    }
}

If you are using Kubernetes, it is recommended that you use the official environment variables to map Nodes and Pods.
