# Laravel Artisan

PHP

Laravel [Artisan](https://laravel.com/docs/artisan) is the CLI command included with Laravel.

Integrating Blackfire with Laravel Artisan lets you **monitor** all your CLI commands:

> **Note**
>
> You must, first, [enable monitoring](../../../monitoring-cookbooks/configuration)on your environment.

## Requirements

- PHP >= 7.3
- `illuminate/console` >= 8.0
- `illuminate/support` >= 8.0

## Installation

Add [Blackfire PHP SDK](../../../php/integrations/sdk#php-sdk-installation) as a dependency in your project (1.27+ version).

## Monitoring

The Blackfire PHP SDK provides a **Laravel Observable Artisan Service Provider**that eases collecting and measuring the processing of your CLI commands.

All Laravel's [service providers](https://laravel.com/docs/providers) are registered in the `config/app.php` configuration file:

```php
'providers' => [
    // Other Service Providers

    Blackfire\Bridge\Laravel\ObservableCommandProvider::class,
],
```

A transaction name is generated for every processed message given the Artisan command signature.

Transactions are visible on the Monitoring dashboard page, filtering on `CLI`requests.
