Laravelify can install GlitchTip (open source, Sentry compatible) on your server. Your websites send their errors to it with a Sentry SDK: errors on the server (Laravel, PHP, Node, Express, NestJS, and the server side of Nuxt, Next.js and SvelteKit) and errors in visitors’ browsers. Nothing is sent to anyone else.

​
Turn it on

Website → GlitchTip → Turn on error tracking. It takes a minute or two and uses about 250 MB of RAM. GlitchTip then runs at https://your-panel/glitchtip. Every website gets its own GlitchTip project, and its key (DSN) goes into the website’s .env under the name its SDK reads: New websites are connected by themselves. Deleting a website deletes its project.

​
Add the SDK

The GlitchTip tab shows what is done and what is left: GlitchTip installed, website connected, key in .env (or in the code), Sentry SDK in the code, errors received.

Install SDK in the code

Click Install SDK in the code. Laravelify adds the Sentry package and its setup to the website’s code (the same steps the tab shows), commits, pushes to the website’s branch, and deploys. It works for repositories the panel can push to: example projects, and GitHub repositories with a connected GitHub App that may write (Contents: read and write) or a saved token. Deploys only read, so the website’s own App may be read-only: the button then uses another connected App that may write to the repository.

Or do it by hand

Follow the steps in the tab for your framework, commit, and deploy.
When a file does not look as expected (a Nuxt config that already has runtimeConfig, for example), the button stops and says what to add by hand. npm, pnpm and Yarn projects are all handled, with the package manager the deploy uses.

​
Open GlitchTip

Open in GlitchTip signs you in by itself. Any GlitchTip page opened without a session goes through the panel’s sign-in first, so GlitchTip sits behind the panel’s login. The organization, admin user, password, MFA and API token are managed by the panel: their menus are hidden and changing them is refused. The Performance, Logs and Releases pages fill when an app sends more than errors:
  • Performance: add tracesSampleRate: 0.1 to Sentry.init (browser apps also Sentry.browserTracingIntegration()); Laravel: SENTRY_TRACES_SAMPLE_RATE=0.1.
  • Logs: add enableLogs: true to Sentry.init, then Sentry.logger.info('…').
  • Releases: set release in Sentry.init, or SENTRY_RELEASE in the Environment tab (Node and Laravel read it).

​
Turn it off

GlitchTip tab → Turn off error tracking (type glitchtip to confirm). GlitchTip and its database are removed, and each website’s key leaves its .env (from its next deploy). The SDK stays in the code and sends nothing without a key. PostgreSQL stays installed. Turning it on again starts empty and reconnects every website. For Angular, plain HTML and PHP sites, which hold the key in their code, the tab shows Key in the code in red: click Install SDK in the code to put the new key in.
