Hello dear developer!
Spiral framework, is now available at https://github.com/buggregator/spiral-app and offers significant improvements in performance and stability, as well as a lighter docker image size of around 300mb. It also includes xhprof support for profiling PHP applications. Developers are encouraged to switch to the new version for the best debugging experience.
The old version of Buggregator, which uses Laravel framework, is no longer being actively developed. The new beta version, built withStay tuned for the upcoming stable release!
A server for debugging PHP applications and more.
Buggregator is a beautiful, lightweight standalone server built on Laravel, VueJs and RoadRunner underhood, that helps debugging mostly PHP applications without extra packages. It runs without installation on multiple platforms via docker and supports symfony var-dumper, monolog, sentry, smtp, inspector and spatie ray package.
Contents
VarDumper server
1. SymfonyThe dump()
and dd()
functions output its contents in the same browser window or console terminal as your own application. Sometimes mixing the real output with the debug output can be confusing. That’s why this Buggregator can be used to collect all the dumped data. Buggregator can display dump output in the browser as well as in a terminal (console output).
Installation
composer require --dev symfony/var-dumper
Settings
Env variables
// Laravel
VAR_DUMPER_FORMAT=server
VAR_DUMPER_SERVER=127.0.0.1:9912
// Plain PHP
$_SERVER['VAR_DUMPER_FORMAT'] = 'server';
$_SERVER['VAR_DUMPER_SERVER'] = '127.0.0.1:9912';
2. Fake SMTP server for catching mail
Buggregator also is an email testing tool that makes it super easy to install and configure a local email server (Like MailHog). Buggregator sets up a fake SMTP server and you can configure your preferred web applications to use Buggregator’s SMTP server to send and receive emails. For instance, you can configure a local WordPress site to use Buggregator for email deliveries.
Settings
Env variables
// Laravel
MAIL_MAILER=smtp
MAIL_HOST=127.0.0.1
MAIL_PORT=1025
// Symfony
MAILER_DSN=smtp://127.0.0.1:1025
Sentry reports
3. Compatible withBuggregator can be used to receive Sentry reports from your application. Buggregator is a lightweight alternative for local development. Just configure Sentry DSN to send data to Buggregator. It can display dump output in the browser as well as in a terminal (console output).
Laravel settings
Laravel is supported via a native package. You can read about integrations on official site
// DSN for the Buggregator
SENTRY_LARAVEL_DSN=http://sentry@127.0.0.1:23517/1
Other platforms
To report to Buggregator you’ll need to use a language-specific SDK. The Sentry team builds and maintains these for most popular languages. You can find out documentation on official site
Monolog server
4.Buggregator can display dump output in the browser as well as in a terminal (console output).
Buggregator can receive logs from monolog/monolog
package via \Monolog\Handler\SlackWebhookHandler
or \Monolog\Handler\SocketHandler
handler.
Laravel settings for SlackWebhookHandler
Env variables
LOG_CHANNEL=slack
LOG_SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL=http://127.0.0.1:23517/slack
Laravel settings for SocketHandler
Config
// config/logging.php
return [
// ...
'channels' => [
// ...
'socket' => [
'driver' => 'monolog',
'level' => env('LOG_LEVEL', 'debug'),
'handler' => \Monolog\Handler\SocketHandler::class,
'formatter' => \Monolog\Formatter\JsonFormatter::class,
'handler_with' => [
'connectionString' => env('LOG_SOCKET_URL', '127.0.0.1:9913'),
],

<?php
use Monolog\Logger;
use Monolog\Handler\SocketHandler;
use Monolog\Formatter\JsonFormatter;
// create a log channel
$log = new Logger('buggregator');
$handler = new SocketHandler('127.0.0.1:9913');
$handler->setFormatter(new JsonFormatter());
$log->pushHandler($handler);
// Send records to the Buggregator
$log->warning('Foo');
$log->error('Bar');
Inspector reports
5. Compatible withBuggregator can be used to receive Inspector events from your application. Buggregator is a lightweight alternative for local development. Just configure Inspector client URL to send data to Buggregator. It can display dump output in the browser as well as in a terminal (console output).
Laravel settings
Laravel is supported via a native package. You can read about integrations on official site
INSPECTOR_URL=http://127.0.0.1:23517/inspector
INSPECTOR_API_KEY=test
INSPECTOR_INGESTION_KEY=1test
INSPECTOR_ENABLE=true
Other platforms
For PHP you can use inspector-apm/inspector-php
package.
use Inspector\Inspector;
use Inspector\Configuration;
$configuration = new Configuration('YOUR_INGESTION_KEY');
$configuration->setUrl('http://127.0.0.1:23517/inspector');
$inspector = new Inspector($configuration);
// ...
To report to Buggregator you’ll need to use a language-specific SDK. The Inspector team builds and maintains these for most popular languages. You can find out documentation on official site

Env variables
RAY_HOST=127.0.0.1 # Ray server host
RAY_PORT=23517 # Ray server port
Framework agnostic PHP
In framework agnostic projects you can use this template as the ray config file.
<?php
// Save this in a file called "ray.php"
return [
/*
* This settings controls whether data should be sent to Ray.
*/
'enable' => true,
/*
* The host used to communicate with the Ray app.
*/
'host' => '127.0.0.1',
/*
* The port number used to communicate with the Ray app.
*/
'port' => 23517,
/*
* Absolute base path for your sites or projects in Homestead, Vagrant, Docker, or another remote development server.
*/
'remote_path' => null,
/*
* Absolute base path for your sites or projects on your local computer where your IDE or code editor is running on.
*/
'local_path' => null,
/*
* When this setting is enabled, the package will not try to format values sent to Ray.
*/
'always_send_raw_values' => false,
];

UI
Buggregator has a responsive design and a mobile device can be used as an additional screen for viewing event history. Also you can use a termial to collect dump output if you don't want to use a browser.
