Straightforward and transparent pricing means you can sweat about your application – not your bill. Start with our free tier or scale up:
With monitoring that "just works" for Rails, Django and more, get running in minutes with Scout's streamlined setup. No extra code needed - just deploy our agent and start getting insights in 5 minutes.
Get started in under 3 minutes with our easy to install Ruby agent.
Install our gem. In your gemfile:
gem 'scout_apm'Shell:
bundle installDownload your customized config file, placing it at config/scout_apm.yml.
Deploy.
We initially provision your application using environment variables instead of the config/scout_apm.yml. Configuration values set via env variables will take priority over those set via yaml.
For Django, use the following steps (Flask and friends, see full docs):
Install the scout-apm package:
pip install scout-apmConfigure Scout in your settings.py file:
# settings.py
INSTALLED_APPS = [
"scout_apm.django", # should be listed first
# ... other apps ...
]
# Scout settings
SCOUT_MONITOR = True
SCOUT_KEY = "[AVAILABLE IN THE SCOUT UI]"
SCOUT_NAME = "A FRIENDLY NAME FOR YOUR APP"If you wish to configure Scout via environment variables, use SCOUT_MONITOR, SCOUT_NAME, and SCOUT_KEY instead of providing these settings in settings.py.
Deploy.
It takes approximately five minutes for your data to first appear within the Scout UI.
If you've installed Scout via the Heroku Addon, the provisioning process automatically sets SCOUT_MONITOR and SCOUT_KEY via config vars. Only SCOUT_NAME is additionally required.
Scout supports Laravel 5.5+.
Not using Laravel? Check our documentation.
Install the scoutapp/scout-apm-laravel package:
composer require scoutapp/scout-apm-laravelInstall the scoutapm php extension (optional, recommended):
sudo pecl install scoutapmConfigure Scout in your .env file:
# Scout settings
SCOUT_MONITOR=true
SCOUT_KEY="[AVAILABLE IN THE SCOUT UI]"
SCOUT_NAME="A FRIENDLY NAME FOR YOUR APP"Add the config/scout_apm.php:
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Scoutapm\Laravel\Providers\ScoutApmServiceProvider"Clear and re-cache your config:
php artisan config:cacheDeploy.
It takes approximatively five minutes for your data to first appear within the Scout UI.
If you’ve installed Scout via the Heroku Addon, the provisioning process automatically sets SCOUT_MONITOR and SCOUT_KEY via config vars. Only SCOUT_NAME is required.
For a Phoenix app, add our package to mix.exs (and run mix deps.get):
{:scout_apm, "~> 1.0"}]Download your customized config after signing up and place at config/scout_apm.exs
Add to your app:
# lib/your_app_web.ex
defmodule YourApp.Web do
def controller do
quote do
use Phoenix.Controller
use ScoutApm.Instrumentation
...
