Description

I have 2 applications running using the same database. I need to add prefix to the table names in Laravel Pulse to be like this dash_pulse_aggregates, dash_pulse_values, dash_pulse_entries. How can I make this possible?

Edited.

@rachmadep, I would recommend using a dedicated connection for Pulse.

You can specify the connection via the PULSE_DB_CONNECTION environment variable. For example, use PULSE_DB_CONNECTION=pulse. Then in your config/database.php, create a connection named pulse with all the same configuration values for your application's database.

Once that is in place, add a prefix to the pulse connection. Pulse should then use that prefix for its tables and avoid any conflict.

@timacdonald How to add a prefix to the pulse connection?

Since we use all the same configuration values for default application's database. Is it possible to avoid any conflict?

@rachmadep, here is an example of how you might do this.

You want to duplicate your database config under a dedicated pulse connection.

<?php

use Illuminate\Support\Str;

return [
    // ...
    'connections' => [
        // ...

-       'mysql' => [
+       'mysql' => $databaseConfig = [
            'driver' => 'mysql',
            'url' => env('DB_URL'),
            'host' => env('DB_HOST', '127.0.0.1'),
            'port' => env('DB_PORT', '3306'),
            'database' => env('DB_DATABASE', 'laravel'),
            'username' => env('DB_USERNAME', 'root'),
            'password' => env('DB_PASSWORD', ''),
            'unix_socket' => env('DB_SOCKET', ''),
            'charset' => env('DB_CHARSET', 'utf8mb4'),
            'collation' => env('DB_COLLATION', 'utf8mb4_unicode_ci'),
            'prefix' => '',
            'prefix_indexes' => true,
            'strict' => true,
            'engine' => null,
            'options' => extension_loaded('pdo_mysql') ? array_filter([
                PDO::MYSQL_ATTR_SSL_CA => env('MYSQL_ATTR_SSL_CA'),
            ]) : [],
        ],

+       // Duplicate above "mysql" connection for pulse...
+
+       'pulse' => [
+           ...$databaseConfig,
+           'prefix' => 'dash_',
+       ],
+
        // ...
    ],
    // ...
];

Then, configure pulse to use this new pulse connection:

PULSE_DB_CONNECTION=pulse
