"I absolutely love Honeybadger’s check-in feature. Being able to have visibility into scheduled processes is vital to my work."

Getting started is easy

Setup takes just a few minutes and comes with great Laravel defaults.

Installing Honeybadger in a Laravel app is just a few terminal commands:

$ composer require honeybadger-io/honeybadger-laravel

// In app/Exceptions/Handler.php
public function register()
{
    $this->reportable(function (Throwable $e) {
        if (app()->bound('honeybadger')) {
            app('honeybadger')->notify($e, app('request'));
        }
    });
}

Honeybadger automatically reports errors in controllers, background jobs, and scheduled tasks, and collects application logs and performance metrics. Laravel application monitoring has never been easier.

Frequently Asked Questions

Got questions? We've got answers. Here are some common questions about Honeybadger for Laravel:

Honeybadger integrates seamlessly with Laravel through our official Laravel package. The honeybadger-io/honeybadger-laravel package automatically captures unhandled exceptions in controllers, background jobs, scheduled tasks, and more. The integration includes:

  • Automatic Laravel error monitoring and exception handling
  • Request context and parameters
  • Queued job context and parameters
  • User information when available
  • Application logs and performance metrics

See our Laravel integration guide for more details.

Honeybadger's Laravel monitoring system collects comprehensive data including:

  • Request/response cycles
  • Database queries
  • View rendering
  • Cache operations
  • Redis operations
  • Background job execution
  • HTTP client requests

For full details, see our documentation for Laravel performance monitoring.

Honeybadger does not impact your application's performance. That's because we designed Honeybadger to be lightweight and efficient from the start:

  • Asynchronous error reporting by default
  • Well-optimized PHP package with low memory usage
  • Customizable rate limiting controls
  • Background processing for logs and metrics

If you have large amounts of log data to send us, you can also take advantage of our syslog, Vector, or PaaS integrations.

Honeybadger's automatic error tracking feature makes it a great Laravel bug tracker. When an error occurs in your Laravel app, our SDK automatically captures it and reports it to honeybadger.io where you can easily triage and manage issues. You can also allow your site visitors to submit reports with each error to collect additional feedback from users at the time the error occurs.

See our Laravel error tracking guide to learn more about bug tracking in Laravel.

These are three distinct but complementary aspects of application monitoring:

  • Error Tracking focuses on capturing and managing exceptions and errors in your application. It helps you identify when and why your application fails and which users are affected, with detailed stack traces, context, and debugging information. Unlike some APM tools, Honeybadger notifies you about errors as soon as they happen and groups similar errors together to reduce notification fatigue.

  • Application Performance Monitoring (APM) tracks how your application performs over time, measuring metrics like response times, throughput, and resource utilization. It helps identify bottlenecks and optimize application speed. Honeybadger captures performance telemetry, which we use to power our automated dashboards. A key difference between Honeybadger and other APM tools is that we also give you direct access to the raw structured data in Honeybadger Insights, which is super powerful.

  • Logging provides a chronological record of events and messages in your application. It's useful for debugging, auditing, and understanding the flow of your application. In Honeybadger, logs are stored as structured events. While you can send any kind of log to Honeybadger, structured logging unlocks the full power of Honeybadger Insights, which allows you to query, transform, and visualize your data in real-time.

While each serves a different purpose, they work together to give you a complete picture of your application's health. Honeybadger provides tools for all three, and best of all, they're deeply integrated with each other to help you understand and fix issues faster.
