Blackfire has built-in support for Platform.sh projects. The integration is made simpler as Blackfire agent and probe are installed and enabled by default on all Platform.sh accounts.
Blackfire server credentials and the .platform.app.yaml file should be
configured out of the box for Platform.sh Obervability Suite customers. Those steps may
then be ignored. Blackfire integration appears in the project settings in
Platform.sh console.
Set the Blackfire server credentials as environment variables (run this command from the root directory of your project):
You may also use your Platform.sh console
The client credentials are required to trigger profiles with the CLI from your Platform.sh environments. In this case, set the client credentials as environment variables (run this command from the root directory of your project):
Recommended: To explicitly define which
environment the profile must be sent
to, use the --env=<ENV_UUID> parameter.
v2.14.0+ of the unified Agent and Client:
when no target environment is specified, the Agent uses the
BLACKFIRE_SERVER_ID environment variable to determine where to send the
profile.
When no target environment is specified or implicitly discovered, the profile
is sent to the personal sandbox environment of the user whose
personal credentials (BLACKFIRE_CLIENT_ID
and BLACKFIRE_CLIENT_TOKEN) were used. Only that user can then access
the profile from /my/profiles.
To explicitly specify your personal sandbox environment, use
--env="My Environment"
The configuration of your application depends on its type.
PHP Application
Add the blackfire PHP extension to the .platform.app.yaml project file:
1 2 3
runtime:
extensions:
- blackfire
Python Application
Your application must have the Blackfire Probe installed
as a pip dependency.
Update your .platform.app.yaml file to use the blackfire-python binary
to start your webserver:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
# .platform.app.yaml
web:
upstream:
socket_family: unix
# Commands are run once after deployment to start the application process.
commands:
# Replace "my_app.wsgi" by your actual WSGI script.
start: "blackfire-python gunicorn -w 4 -b unix:$SOCKET my_app.wsgi:application"
