包简介

Laravel client for the Watchtower self-hosted Sentry-compatible exception tracker. Wires up sentry/sentry-laravel and a same-origin browser tunnel that dodges ad blockers.

README 文档

README

Laravel client for Watchtower, a self-hosted Sentry-compatible exception tracker. Installs and configures sentry/sentry-laravel, wires Integration::handles($exceptions) into bootstrap/app.php, and exposes a same-origin browser tunnel (/api/watchtower-relay) that proxies envelopes to your Watchtower instance — dodging ad-blockers that strip ?sentry_key= query strings.

Install

composer require phattarachai/watchtower-laravel
php artisan watchtower:install --dsn=http://your-public-key@your-watchtower-host/42

The install command:

Validates and writes WATCHTOWER_DSN and SENTRY_LARAVEL_DSN to .env.
Patches bootstrap/app.php to call Sentry\Laravel\Integration::handles($exceptions) inside withExceptions(...).
Publishes config/watchtower.php.
If vite.config.{js,ts} is present, writes VITE_SENTRY_DSN, VITE_SENTRY_TUNNEL, and VITE_SENTRY_ENVIRONMENT and prints a Vite entry snippet.
If the claude (Claude Code) CLI is on PATH, registers the Watchtower MCP server so Claude can query and triage issues directly. Pass --no-mcp to skip.

Re-running is idempotent. Pass --dry-run to preview changes.

Configuration

Env key	Default	Purpose
`WATCHTOWER_DSN`	falls back to `SENTRY_LARAVEL_DSN`	Watchtower DSN: `http://{key}@{host}/{numeric-project-id}`.
`WATCHTOWER_RELAY_ENABLED`	`true`	Register the relay route on boot.
`WATCHTOWER_RELAY_PATH`	`/api/watchtower-relay`	Relay endpoint path (must live under `/api/`).
`WATCHTOWER_RELAY_TIMEOUT`	`5`	Upstream request timeout (seconds).
`WATCHTOWER_RELAY_ASYNC`	`false`	Forward envelopes through a queued job instead of sync.
`WATCHTOWER_RELAY_QUEUE`	(default queue)	Queue name when async is enabled.
`WATCHTOWER_VERIFY_SSL`	`true`	Verify upstream TLS certificate.
`WATCHTOWER_CONNECT_TIMEOUT`	`3`	Guzzle connect timeout (seconds).

Browser side

The browser SDK posts envelopes to your own app at /api/watchtower-relay. The relay parses your configured DSN, forwards the request body verbatim to {scheme}://{host_with_port}/api/watchtower-relay on the Watchtower instance, and passes back the upstream status and rate-limit headers.

watchtower:install publishes a small helper to resources/js/vendor/watchtower.js that wraps Sentry.init(...) with the Watchtower-tuned defaults (same-origin tunnel, no PII, browser-extension denyUrls) and applies <meta name="watchtower-user-*"> to Sentry.setUser(...). Per Vite entry:

import { initWatchtower } from './vendor/watchtower.js';

initWatchtower();

The Sentry config lives inside the published helper, so multiple entries don't duplicate it. Customize options (e.g. ignoreErrors) there once.

In your root Blade layout's <head> add the package directive that emits the user-context meta tags:

@watchtowerUser

@watchtowerUser is registered automatically by the service provider and compiles to three <meta name="watchtower-user-{id,email,name}"> tags. Customize by publishing the view: php artisan vendor:publish --tag=watchtower-views.

For Filament admin panels (which bypass the root Blade layout), register a render hook:

$panel->renderHook(
    PanelsRenderHook::HEAD_END,
    fn (): string => Blade::render('@watchtowerUser'),
);

Because the request hits your own origin under /api/, ad-blockers don't recognize it as Sentry traffic.

Async forwarding

Set WATCHTOWER_RELAY_ASYNC=true to dispatch each forward through a ForwardEnvelope job. The relay returns 202 {"queued": true} immediately and the worker performs the upstream POST. Failures are logged but not retried beyond Guzzle's default behavior — the Sentry SDK retransmits anyway.

Verify

php artisan watchtower:test

Prints the resolved config, runs sentry:test, and POSTs a synthetic envelope through the relay path.

Troubleshooting

The bundled skill at vendor/phattarachai/watchtower-laravel/resources/boost/skills/watchtower-error-tracking/reference.md covers every install + verify + triage path, including the MCP server. To install it into Claude's skill set: php artisan boost:install --skills.
