Laravel package of the https://github.com/philkra/elastic-apm-php-agent library, automatically handling transactions and errors/exceptions. If using Illuminate\Support\Facades\Auth the user Id added to the context. Tested with Laravel 5.6.* and the philkra/elastic-apm-php-agent version 6.2.*.

composer require philkra/elastic-apm-laravel

Register as (e.g.) global middleware to be called with every request. https://laravel.com/docs/5.6/middleware#global-middleware

Register the middleware in app/Http/Kernel.php

protected $middleware = [
    // ... more middleware
    \PhilKra\Middleware\Elastic\ApmAgent::class,
];

In bootstrap/app.php register PhilKra\Middleware\Elastic\ApmAgent::class as middleware:

$app->middleware([
    PhilKra\Middleware\Elastic\ApmAgent::class
]);

Replace the default exception handler with overloading APM handler. The APM class is extending Laravel's "default" exception handler app/Exceptions/Handler. In bootstrap/app.php remove the default handler App\Exceptions\Handler::class with PhilKra\Exceptions\Elastic\ApmAgent::class.

$app->singleton(
    Illuminate\Contracts\Debug\ExceptionHandler::class,
    PhilKra\Exceptions\Elastic\ApmAgent::class
);
