The 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).

composer require --dev symfony/var-dumper

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';

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.

Env variables

// Laravel
MAIL_MAILER=smtp
MAIL_HOST=127.0.0.1
MAIL_PORT=1025

// Symfony
MAILER_DSN=smtp://127.0.0.1:1025

Buggregator 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 is supported via a native package. You can read about integrations on official site

// DSN for the Buggregator
SENTRY_LARAVEL_DSN=http://[email protected]:23517/1

To report to Sentry 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

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.

Env variables

LOG_CHANNEL=slack
LOG_SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL=http:https://127.0.0.1:23517/slack

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'),
            ],
        ],
    ],
];

Env variables

LOG_CHANNEL=socket
LOG_SOCKET_URL=127.0.0.1:9913

Install monolog composer require monolog/monolog

<?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');

Buggregator is compatible with spatie/ray package. The Ray debug tool supports PHP, Ruby, JavaScript, TypeScript, NodeJS, Go and Bash applications. After installing one of the libraries, you can use the ray function to quickly dump stuff. Any variable(s) that you pass will be sent to the Buggregator. Buggregator can display dump output in the browser as well as in a terminal (console output).

Supported features: Simple data, Colors, Sizes, Labels, New screen, Clear all, Caller, Trace, Pause, Counter, Class name of an object, Measure, Json, Xml, Carbon, File, Table, Image, Html, Text, Notifications, Phpinfo, Exception, Show queries, Count queries, Show events, Show jobs, Show cache, Model, Show views, Markdown, Collections, Env, Response, Request, Ban, Charles, Remove, Hide/Show events, Application log, Show Http client requests, Mailable

Env variables

RAY_HOST=127.0.0.1  # Ray server host
RAY_PORT=23517      # Ray server port

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,
];

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

You can run Buggregator via docker from Docker Hub or using the provided Dockerfile

Just run one of bash command

Latest version

docker run --pull always -p 23517:8000 -p 1025:1025 -p 9912:9912 -p 9913:9913 butschster/buggregator:latest

You can omit --pull always argument if your docker-compose doesn't support it.

Specific version

docker run -p 23517:8000 -p 1025:1025 -p 9912:9912 -p 9913:9913 butschster/buggregator:v1.18

You can omit unused ports if you use, for example, only var-dumper

docker run --pull always -p 9912:9912 butschster/buggregator:latest

// docker-compose.yml
version: "2"
services:
    ...

    buggregator:
        image: butschster/buggregator:latest
        ports:
        - 23517:8000
        - 1025:1025
        - 9912:9912
        - 9913:9913

CLI_SMTP_STREAM=false
CLI_VAR_DUMPER_STREAM=false
CLI_SENTRY_STREAM=false
CLI_RAY_STREAM=false
CLI_MONOLOG_STREAM=false

Example

docker run --pull always --env CLI_SMTP_STREAM=false --env CLI_SENTRY_STREAM=false -p 23517:8000 -p 1025:1025 -p 9912:9912 -p 9913:9913 butschster/buggregator:latest

or

// docker-compose.yml
version: "2"
services:
    ...

    buggregator:
        image: butschster/buggregator:latest
        ports:
        - 23517:8000
        - 1025:1025
        - 9912:9912
        - 9913:9913
        environment:
            - CLI_SMTP_STREAM=false
            - CLI_RAY_STREAM=false

That's it. Now you open http:https://127.0.0.1:23517 url in your browser or open terminal and collect dump output from your application.
