Laravel error tracking

Self-hosted error tracking for Laravel

A lot of error tracking tools, like Sentry or Honeybadger, put caps on how many errors or projects you can track unless you pay for a higher tier. That can get expensive fast, especially for smaller teams or startups working on a budget.

Telebugs does things differently. It’s a self-hosted error tracking tool built with Laravel developers in mind. You host it on your own server, so you’re not stuck with monthly fees or limits on error volume. It works seamlessly with Laravel, letting you keep an eye on errors as they happen.

Key features for Laravel error tracking

Telebugs keeps things simple and practical, focusing on what you actually need to handle errors in Laravel. Here’s what it offers:

Telebugs means freedom — just $299 once, and you're set for life.

Just compare the pricing for yourself

Telebugs offers the same features as these tools, but without the ongoing costs. It's a one-time purchase that gives you everything you need to track and manage errors in your Laravel applications.

Error grouping

Telebugs groups similar errors together automatically. This cuts down on the clutter, so you’re not sifting through the same error over and over. Say you’ve got a bunch of ModelNotFoundException errors from a bad Eloquent query — Telebugs bundles them into one report. You can tweak how it groups things if you want; the docs walk you through it.

Customizable notifications

You can set up notifications through email, Slack, Discord, or push alerts to stay on top of errors. Choose when you get notified — like only for new errors or ones that keep popping up — so you’re not bombarded with alerts you don’t need.

Detailed backtraces and breadcrumbs

Telebugs grabs full backtraces for every error, so you can see exactly where things went wrong. It also logs breadcrumbs — like HTTP requests, queue jobs, or middleware calls — to give you a sense of what led up to the issue.

Quick and easy setup

Setting up Telebugs on your server is simple. You can get it running with a single command in less than 10 minutes. The installation guide has all the steps laid out clearly.

If self-hosting is new to you, no problem — our docs are detailed, and support is there if you need a hand.

Integrating Telebugs with Laravel

To get Telebugs working with your Laravel app, follow these steps to integrate the Sentry Laravel SDK, which is fully compatible with Telebugs:

Install the Sentry Laravel package via Composer:

composer require sentry/sentry-laravel

Add your Telebugs DSN to your .env file. Replace your-telebugs-dsn with the DSN provided in your Telebugs dashboard:

SENTRY_LARAVEL_DSN=your-telebugs-dsn

Configure the Sentry integration in your Laravel application. Update the bootstrap/app.php file to include the Sentry exception handler:

withRouting(
        web: __DIR__.'/../routes/web.php',
        commands: __DIR__.'/../routes/console.php',
        health: '/up',
    )
    ->withMiddleware(function (Middleware $middleware) {
        //
    })
    ->withExceptions(function (Exceptions $exceptions) {
        Integration::handles($exceptions);
    })
    ->create();

Publish the Sentry configuration to set up the DSN and other options:

php artisan sentry:publish --dsn=your-telebugs-dsn

Verify the integration by triggering a test error. You can use the following command to send a test event to Telebugs:

php artisan sentry:test

After that, Telebugs will start catching errors from your app. You manage them in your dashboard. It’s a one-time cost of $299 — no subscriptions or extra fees.

Check the Sentry Laravel docs for more details if you need them.
