Usage

Automatic Telemetry

Once installed and configured, the package automatically captures:

• HTTP requests
• Console commands
• Exceptions
• Database queries
• Cache events
• Mail notifications
• Queue jobs
• Scheduled tasks

Manual Telemetry Control

Use the Artisan commands to control telemetry:

# Start telemetry agent
php artisan xelentwatch:agent start

# Check agent status
php artisan xelentwatch:agent status

# Pause telemetry
php artisan xelentwatch:agent pause

# Resume telemetry
php artisan xelentwatch:agent resume

# Stop telemetry
php artisan xelentwatch:agent stop

Using the Facade

use Laravel\Xelentwatch\Facades\Xelentwatch;

// Check if telemetry is enabled
if (Xelentwatch::isEnabled()) {
    // Custom telemetry logic
}

Sampling

Control the sampling rate for different event types:

# Sample 100% of requests (default)
XELENTWATCH_REQUEST_SAMPLE_RATE=1.0

# Sample 10% of requests (high-traffic apps)
XELENTWATCH_REQUEST_SAMPLE_RATE=0.1

# Sample 100% of exceptions (always capture errors)
XELENTWATCH_EXCEPTION_SAMPLE_RATE=1.0

Filtering

Ignore specific event types:

XELENTWATCH_IGNORE_CACHE_EVENTS=false
XELENTWATCH_IGNORE_MAIL=false
XELENTWATCH_IGNORE_NOTIFICATIONS=false
XELENTWATCH_IGNORE_OUTGOING_REQUESTS=false
XELENTWATCH_IGNORE_QUERIES=false

Logging

The package logs to storage/logs/xelentwatch/:

File	Description
agent.log	Agent activity
ingest.log	Ingest operations
error.log	Errors

Configure logging:

XELENTWATCH_LOGGING_ENABLED=true
XELENTWATCH_LOGGING_LEVEL=info

Multi-App Setup

To use with multiple Laravel applications:

1. Install this package in each application
2. Configure unique tokens for each app
3. Point all apps to the same TCP server

# App 1 (.env)
XELENTWATCH_TOKEN=app1-token-here
XELENTWATCH_PROJECT_NAME=app1
XELENTWATCH_INGEST_URI=127.0.0.1:2407

# App 2 (.env)
XELENTWATCH_TOKEN=app2-token-here
XELENTWATCH_PROJECT_NAME=app2
XELENTWATCH_INGEST_URI=127.0.0.1:2407
