README
Lightweight SDK for streaming job lifecycle events from your PHP application to Jobviz — real-time monitoring, alerting, and AI-powered debugging for background jobs.
Supports Laravel Queue, Symfony Messenger, and custom providers.
Install
composer require jobviz/agent
Quick Start
Laravel (zero-config)
Add your API key to .env:
JOBVIZ_API_KEY=your-api-key
That's it. The service provider auto-discovers via Composer, hooks into Laravel's queue events, and streams them to Jobviz in batches.
Optionally publish the config file:
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Jobviz\Agent\Laravel\JobvizServiceProvider"
Symfony Messenger
use Jobviz\Agent\Config; use Jobviz\Agent\Jobviz; use Jobviz\Agent\Providers\SymfonyMessengerProvider; Jobviz::init(new Config( apiKey: $_ENV['JOBVIZ_API_KEY'], provider: new SymfonyMessengerProvider( dispatcher: $container->get('event_dispatcher'), ), ));
Register SymfonyMessengerProvider as a service to auto-wire it as an event subscriber.
Multiple queue systems
use Jobviz\Agent\Config; use Jobviz\Agent\Jobviz; use Jobviz\Agent\Providers\MultiProvider; use Jobviz\Agent\Providers\LaravelQueueProvider; use Jobviz\Agent\Providers\SymfonyMessengerProvider; Jobviz::init(new Config( apiKey: $_ENV['JOBVIZ_API_KEY'], provider: new MultiProvider([ new LaravelQueueProvider($app['events']), new SymfonyMessengerProvider($dispatcher), ]), ));
In-Job Logging
Attach structured log entries to a running job for step-by-step visibility in the Jobviz timeline:
use Jobviz\Agent\Jobviz; // Inside your job's handle() method Jobviz::log( ['id' => $this->job->getJobId(), 'name' => 'SendEmail', 'queue' => 'emails'], 'Fetching template', ); Jobviz::log( ['id' => $this->job->getJobId(), 'name' => 'SendEmail', 'queue' => 'emails'], 'Sending email', ['recipients' => count($this->recipients)], );
Deployment Tracking
Correlate deployments with job failures in the Jobviz dashboard:
use Jobviz\Agent\Jobviz; Jobviz::trackDeployment( version: '1.4.2', commitHash: 'abc123f', description: 'Fix email retry logic', );

Laravel config
When using Laravel, all options are configurable via config/jobviz.php and environment variables. See JOBVIZ_API_KEY, JOBVIZ_ENDPOINT, JOBVIZ_ENV, and JOBVIZ_DEBUG.
Internal buffering
The event buffer holds up to maxBufferSize events (default 10 000) in memory. When the buffer is full, the oldest events are dropped to prevent unbounded memory growth.
HTTP transport retries failed requests with exponential backoff (up to 4 attempts) and respects 429 Retry-After headers.
Privacy & Data Sanitization
By default, the agent captures job input data and error stack traces — this powers Jobviz's debugging and AI root-cause analysis features.
If your jobs handle sensitive data, you have several levels of control:
use Jobviz\Agent\Config; // 1. Disable input capture entirely new Config(apiKey: $key, provider: $provider, captureInput: false); // 2. Disable stack trace capture new Config(apiKey: $key, provider: $provider, captureStackTraces: false); // 3. Redact built-in sensitive keys (password, secret, token, etc.) new Config(apiKey: $key, provider: $provider, redactKeys: true); // 4. Redact custom keys (merged with built-in set) new Config(apiKey: $key, provider: $provider, redactKeys: ['ssn', 'dob', 'bankAccount']); // 5. Disable redaction entirely new Config(apiKey: $key, provider: $provider, redactKeys: false);
Built-in redacted keys: password, secret, token, apikey, api_key, authorization, creditcard, credit_card, ssn, accesstoken, access_token, refreshtoken, refresh_token.
Key matching is case-insensitive — Authorization, AUTHORIZATION, and authorization are all redacted.
See our Privacy Policy for full details on data handling.
Multi-Instance Usage
The Jobviz::init() / Jobviz::stop() helpers manage a global singleton. For advanced use cases (tests, multi-tenant), instantiate JobvizAgent directly:
use Jobviz\Agent\Config; use Jobviz\Agent\JobvizAgent; $agent = new JobvizAgent(new Config( apiKey: $_ENV['JOBVIZ_API_KEY'], provider: $provider, )); $agent->start(); // Later... $agent->stop();
Custom Providers
Implement the QueueProviderInterface to monitor any queue system:
use Closure; use Jobviz\Agent\JobEvent; use Jobviz\Agent\Providers\QueueProviderInterface; class MyQueueProvider implements QueueProviderInterface { public function connect(Closure $push): void { // Subscribe to your queue system and call $push(new JobEvent(...)) for each event } public function disconnect(): void { // Clean up connections } }
Graceful Shutdown
In Laravel, the service provider automatically flushes remaining events when the application terminates.
For standalone usage, call stop() to flush the buffer before your process exits:
use Jobviz\Agent\Jobviz; register_shutdown_function(fn() => Jobviz::stop());
Tip:
Jobviz::stop()disconnects providers and flushes the in-memory buffer — typically under 1 second.
Requirements
- PHP >= 8.1
- Guzzle HTTP >= 7.0
- One of: Laravel 10+/11+ or Symfony 6+/7+ (or a custom provider)
