Variables
Nightwatch works automatically with zero configuration. It captures exceptions, queries, HTTP requests, jobs, and more — all out of the box. However, you can customize its behavior using environment variables and optional advanced features like sampling.
Your environment’s API token, used to authenticate the agent. You can find this in your environment settings in the Nightwatch dashboard.
Controls whether Nightwatch is active.
Optional identifier for the current deployment or release version. Useful for correlating traces and events to specific deploys.
Sets the server name or instance identifier that Nightwatch uses when reporting events. Defaults to the system hostname.
Controls the percentage of HTTP requests to sample. Value must be between 0.0 (none) and 1.0 (all).
Controls the percentage of Artisan commands to sample. Value must be between 0.0 and 1.0.
Sets the host and port that the agent should send events to. Used to route events to a local or remote collector.
Timeout in seconds for the entire send operation. Applies to each batch of events.
Timeout in seconds for establishing a connection with the ingest server.
Maximum number of events to buffer before sending. The agent batches events to reduce overhead and improve throughput.
