Bugsnag Notifier for Lumen

The Bugsnag Notifier for Lumen gives you instant notification of errors and exceptions in your Lumen PHP applications. (based on package for Laravel https://github.com/holidaypirates/bugsnag-lumen)

Bugsnag captures errors in real-time from your web, mobile and desktop applications, helping you to understand and resolve them as fast as possible. Create a free account to start capturing errors from your applications.

How to Install

1. Install the holidaypirates/bugsnag-lumen package

   $ composer require "holidaypirates/bugsnag-lumen:1.*"
   

2. Update bootstrap/app.php to activate Bugsnag

   # Copy config/bugsnag.php from package to project config, change vaules and register config file in `bootstrap/app.php`
   $app->configure('bugsnag');
   

   # Add `BugsnagLumenServiceProvider` to the `bootstrap/app.php`
   $app->register('HolidayPirates\BugsnagLumen\BugsnagLumenServiceProvider')
   

3. Use the Bugsnag exception handler from App/Exceptions/Handler.php.

   # DELETE this line
   use Illuminate\Foundation\Exceptions\Handler as ExceptionHandler;
   

   # ADD this line instead
   use HolidayPirates\BugsnagLumen\BugsnagExceptionHandler as ExceptionHandler
   

   After this change, your file should look like this:

   <?php namespace App\Exceptions;
   
   use Exception;
   use HolidayPirates\BugsnagLumen\BugsnagExceptionHandler as ExceptionHandler;
   
   class Handler extends ExceptionHandler {
       ...
   }
   
   

Configuration

1. Create a file config/bugsnag.php that contains your API key:

2. Configure your api_key:

   <?php # config/bugsnag.php
   
   return array(
       'api_key' => 'YOUR-API-KEY-HERE'
   );
   

3. Optionally, you can add the notify_release_stages key to the same file above to define which Laravel environments will send Exceptions to Bugsnag.

   return array(
       'api_key' => 'YOUR-API-KEY-HERE',
       'notify_release_stages' => ['production', 'staging']
   );
   

Sending Custom Data With Exceptions

It is often useful to send additional meta-data about your app, such as information about the currently logged in user, along with any error or exceptions, to help debug problems.

To send custom data, you should define a before-notify function, adding an array of "tabs" of custom data to the $metaData parameter. For example:

app('bugsnag')->setBeforeNotifyFunction("before_bugsnag_notify");

function before_bugsnag_notify($error) {
    // Do any custom error handling here

    // Also add some meta data to each error
    $error->setMetaData(array(
        "user" => array(
            "name" => "James",
            "email" => "james@example.com"
        )
    ));
}

See the setBeforeNotifyFunction documentation on the bugsnag-php library for more information.

Sending Custom Errors or Non-Fatal Exceptions

You can easily tell Bugsnag about non-fatal or caught exceptions by calling app('bugsnag')->notifyException:

app('bugsnag')->notifyException(new Exception("Something bad happened"));

You can also send custom errors to Bugsnag with Bugsnag::notifyError:

app('bugsnag')->notifyError("ErrorType", "Something bad happened here too");

Both of these functions can also be passed an optional $metaData parameter, which should take the following format:

$metaData =  array(
    "user" => array(
        "name" => "James",
        "email" => "james@example.com"
    )
);

Error Reporting Levels

By default we'll use the value of error_reporting from your php.ini or any value you set at runtime using the error_reporting(...) function.

If you'd like to send different levels of errors to Bugsnag, you can call setErrorReportingLevel, for example:

app('bugsnag')->setErrorReportingLevel(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE);

Additional Configuration

The Bugsnag PHP Client is available as Bugsnag, which allows you to set various configuration options, for example:

app('bugsnag')->setReleaseStage("production");

See the Bugsnag Notifier for PHP documentation for full configuration details.
