configure-nightwatch

Configure Laravel Nightwatch data collection by setting up global and route-based sampling for requests, commands, and other events to control observability and data volume in production environments.

Redact sensitive headers, payloads, and identifiers across Laravel events by applying Nightwatch redaction policies to obfuscate confidential user data before collection.

Filter noisy or sensitive data like database queries, cache operations, mail, and notifications from Nightwatch logs by applying specific filtering rules to exclude unwanted events.

Nightwatch sampling works across all event types including background jobs, outgoing mail, notifications, and exceptions, allowing you to selectively collect and monitor production data.

Reduce Nightwatch data volume by up to 90% while preserving critical error traces by implementing route-based sampling and filtering rules to exclude non-essential application events.

Avoid global sampling when you need granular control over specific event types; instead, use route-based and event-specific filtering to preserve critical traces while excluding noisy data.
