Laravel Lumen

Learn about using Sentry with Laravel Lumen.

Laravel is supported using a native package: sentry-laravel.

This guide is for Laravel Lumen 5+. We also provide instructions for the latest Laravel as well as other versions.

Install the sentry/sentry-laravel package:

Copied
composer require sentry/sentry-laravel

Register Sentry in bootstrap/app.php:

bootstrap/app.php
Copied
$app->register('Sentry\Laravel\ServiceProvider');

// To enable Sentry Tracing, the `TracingServiceProvider` has to be registered additionally:
// $app->register('Sentry\Laravel\Tracing\ServiceProvider');

// Sentry must be registered before routes are included
require __DIR__ . '/../app/Http/routes.php';

Add Sentry reporting to app/Exceptions/Handler.php:

app/Exceptions/Handler.php
Copied
public function report(Throwable $exception)
{
    if (app()->bound('sentry') && $this->shouldReport($exception)) {
        app('sentry')->captureException($exception);
    }

    parent::report($exception);
}

Copy the Sentry configuration file from the vendor directory:

Copied
cp vendor/sentry/sentry-laravel/config/sentry.php config/sentry.php

Afterwards, add your DSN to .env:

.env
Copied
SENTRY_LARAVEL_DSN=https://examplePublicKey@o0.ingest.sentry.io/0

You can test your configuration using the provided sentry:test artisan command:

Copied
php artisan sentry:test

You can verify that Sentry is capturing errors in your Laravel application by creating a route that will throw an exception:

routes/web.php
Copied
Route::get('/debug-sentry', function () {
    throw new Exception('My first Sentry error!');
});

Visiting this route will trigger an exception that will be captured by Sentry.

When Sentry is installed in your application, it will also be active when you are developing or running tests.

You most likely don't want errors to be sent to Sentry when you are developing or running tests. To avoid this, set the DSN value to null to disable sending errors to Sentry.

You can also do this by not defining SENTRY_LARAVEL_DSN in your .env or by defining it as SENTRY_LARAVEL_DSN=null.

If you do leave Sentry enabled when developing or running tests, it's possible for it to have a negative effect on the performance of your application or test suite.
