I recently had the opportunity to discuss the adoption of Inspector by a team of developers based in Brazil. At the time they were using NewRelic to monitor their applications, but found that it was not compatible with Laravel Octane.
Ever since Laravel Octane was released I have thoroughly studied its internal dynamics to make sure that Inspector Laravel package continues to work as usual. Due to its characteristics I always suspected that Octane could cause a lot of headaches for “infrastructure oriented” monitoring platforms.
Let me give you some technical details.
Laravel Octane is a high-performance application server for Laravel, designed to significantly boost the performance of Laravel applications. It was introduced in Laravel 8.x and provides a way to serve Laravel applications using high-performance application servers like Swoole and RoadRunner.
As the official documentation says:
Octane boots your application once, keeps it in memory, and then feeds it requests at supersonic speeds.
Your Laravel application runs inside a long-running process which can create problems for the monitoring agents installed on your machine to know what is happening inside it.
This is a perfect example to understand why Inspector "is built for developers".
To connect your application with Inspector you only need the Laravel package. You don't need any interaction with the underlying infrastructure. It doesn’t matter how your application is running, Inspector is integrated with your framework, not with the server.
How easy is it?
Afterinstalling the packageyou should attach the Octane specialized middleware to the application routes:
use \Inspector\Laravel\Middleware\InspectorOctaneMiddleware; return Application::configure(basePath: dirname(__DIR__)) ->withRouting( // routes ) ->withMiddleware(function (Middleware $middleware) { // Append the middleware $middleware->appendToGroup('web', InspectorOctaneMiddleware::class) ->appendToGroup('api', InspectorOctaneMiddleware::class); }) ->withExceptions(function (Exceptions $exceptions) { // })->create();
/** * The application's route middleware groups. * * @var array */ protected $middlewareGroups = [ 'web' => [ ..., //\Inspector\Laravel\Middleware\WebRequestMonitoring::class, \Inspector\Laravel\Middleware\InspectorOctaneMiddleware::class, ], 'api' => [ ..., //\Inspector\Laravel\Middleware\WebRequestMonitoring::class, \Inspector\Laravel\Middleware\InspectorOctaneMiddleware::class, ], ]That's it.
Your application will continue to be monitored as usual.
Other NewRelic bottlenecks
The team of Brazilian devs delved even deeper into the motivations that drove them to look for valid alternatives to NewRelic.
They wanted to monitor other internal applications as well. Applications that are less critical but for which the company would benefit from real-time monitoring data.
The problem was the complexity of making NewRelic at work on other applications and even more problematic was the big increase in costs.
Costs to monitor other hosts, costs to share the monitoring environment with other users, and the complexity to configure and use the platform.
For me it was a revealing discussion. I had never heard all these details about the various use cases in which Inspector provides a design and pricing policy much more convenient than platforms aimed at large corporations.
So, thank you guys, I'm happy to collaborate with such open minded developers like you. The Inspector community continues to grow.
