Features

Everything LaraOwl tracks across your Laravel stack.

LaraOwl gives you full-stack observability for Laravel applications — from HTTP traffic down to individual database queries — with real-time dashboards, alerting, and built-in security analysis. This page summarizes what’s captured and how it’s presented.

Full-stack observability

The client package captures telemetry across every layer of your application:

Category	What’s tracked
Requests	Every HTTP request — method, path, status code, duration, middleware timing, response size
Exceptions	Automatic grouping, stack traces, occurrence count, first/last seen, resolution status
Database queries	Slow-query detection, N+1 identification, execution time, connection info
Jobs & queues	Job processing status, duration, failures, retry tracking
Commands	Artisan command execution, exit codes, runtime duration
Scheduled tasks	Cron health, execution history, failure alerts
Cache events	Hit/miss ratios, key-level analytics
Mail & notifications	Outbound mail tracking, notification-channel analytics
Outgoing requests	HTTP client calls to external APIs — host, status, latency
Logs	Centralized application log aggregation with search

Real-time dashboard

• Live updates over WebSockets (Laravel Reverb) — no page refresh needed.
• Interactive charts with time-series breakdowns.
• Flexible time filters — 1h, 24h, 7d, 14d, 30d, or custom date ranges.
• Per-page pagination that preserves your active filters.

User tracking

• Authenticated vs. guest request breakdown.
• Per-user request volume, error rates, and last-seen timestamps.
• User activity drill-down with full request history.

Uptime monitoring

• Automatic health checks every 30 seconds.
• Status-code tracking with response-time history.
• Instant alerts when your site goes down.

Heartbeat monitoring

• Cron job and scheduled-task health verification.
• Configurable check-in intervals.
• Alerts when a heartbeat stops reporting.

Performance thresholds

Set custom performance budgets per project. When a threshold is exceeded, LaraOwl automatically creates an issue:

• Route response-time limits
• Job execution-time limits
• Query execution-time limits
• Command runtime limits

Data retention

• Per-project retention policies — 1, 3, 7, 14, 30, 60, or 90 days, or never delete.
• Automatic daily pruning driven by the scheduler.

Multi-tenant architecture

• Teams with role-based access.
• Multiple projects per team, each a single monitored application.
• Per-project settings, API tokens, and integrations.
• Team invitations via email.

Asynchronous ingestion

• All incoming data is processed through Laravel queues.
• Zero-latency API responses — payloads are queued immediately.
• Storage, grouping, security analysis, and broadcasting happen in the background worker.

See Architecture for how data flows from your app to the dashboard.
