Http Watcher

The Guzzle Http capture listener is activated. It is a great tool when developing an MSA architecture. You can easily check how long the actual Http request takes, whether it responds normally, and what headers it contains.

Sql Watcher

When the Model is executed, it automatically captures the query and allows you to see which queries were executed for how many milliseconds in the currently executed logic. Syntax highlighting works to output queries in a developer-friendly manner.

Exception Watcher

The eyedroot/gg library utilizes Laravel framework's ServiceProvider to detect when an exception object is logged, allowing clients to quickly inspect error details. Additionally, the exception object collects the call stack by default, providing source code visibility along with the error information.
