PHP Code Sniffer VS Grafana

PHP Insights supports sniffs from PHP CodeSniffer and fixers from PHP CS Fixer. This allows you to add any sniff or fixer as long as it implements PHP_CodeSniffer\Sniffs\Sniff or PhpCsFixer\Fixer\FixerInterface.

I don’t know why but that link keeps reloading the page over and over. This one works for me: https://github.com/squizlabs/PHP_CodeSniffer/issues/3932

PHP_CodeSniffer is a widely-used tool for enforcing coding standards in PHP. It checks the code against a set of predefined coding standards (such as PSR-12, PSR-2, and many others) and provides reports with violations and recommendations for improvement. Documentation: You can find more information about PHP_CodeSniffer and its usage in the official documentation: PHP_CodeSniffer Repository

While you're at it, also include code-style checkers like phpcs, phpmd and/or php-cs-fixer

If you are well-versed in programming then you might wanna take a look at PHPCompatibility. It will scan your codebase at different PHP version rulesets to point out code that needs upgrading. You will be needing PHPCS for this.

Monitoring application logs is a crucial aspect of the software development and deployment lifecycle. In this post, we'll delve into the process of observing logs generated by Docker container applications operating within HashiCorp Nomad. With the aid of Grafana, Vector, and Loki, we'll explore effective strategies for log analysis and visualization, enhancing visibility and troubleshooting capabilities within your Nomad environment.

To help us visualize these scenarios, we'll build a Grafana Dashboard so we can follow along.

Visualization and Analysis: Choose a tool with intuitive and customizable dashboards, charts, and visualizations. A question to ask is, "Are the visualization features of this tool user-friendly and adaptable to our team's specific needs?" Tools like Grafana and Kibana provide powerful visualization capabilities.

Prometheus: Open-source monitoring system. Often used together with Grafana.

Grafana

Yes I'm aware that Grafana is open source but the method I used to find the API endpoints is far quicker than digging through hundreds of files in a codebase I'm not familiar with.

So, you will add one last container to allow us to visualize this data: Grafana, an open-source analytics and visualization platform that allows us to see traces and metrics simply. You can set Grafana to read data from both Tempo and Prometheus by setting them as datastores with the following grafana.datasource.yaml config file:

In example above, we use 2 additional parameters: code (HTTP response code) and page (page identifier), which provide detailed statistics. For example, you can build such graphs in Grafana:

Robin switched to the Grafana dashboard tab, and sure enough, the 5xx volume on web service was rising. It had not hit the critical alert thresholds yet, but customers had already started noticing.
