Flare CLI

The flare CLI lets you manage Flare error tracking and performance monitoring from the terminal. Every Flare API endpoint has a corresponding command.

Prerequisites

Check that the CLI is installed:

flare --version

If not installed:

composer global require spatie/flare-cli

Ensure Composer's global bin directory is in PATH:

composer global config bin-dir --absolute

Authentication

# Log in — you'll be prompted for your API token
flare login

# Log out
flare logout

Get your API token at https://flareapp.io/settings/api-tokens.

If any command returns a 401 error, the token is invalid or expired. Run flare login again.

Quick command reference

All commands output JSON. See references/commands.md for full parameter details.

# Reopen a resolved error
flare unresolve-error --error-id=456

# Snooze forever

# Snooze for N more occurrences
flare snooze-error --error-id=456 --field snooze_type=snooze_number_of_occurrences --field snooze_number_of_occurrences=50

# Unsnooze
flare unsnooze-error --error-id=456

Occurrences

# List occurrences for an error (includes frames, attributes, events, solutions)
flare list-error-occurrences --error-id=456

# Sort oldest first
flare list-error-occurrences --error-id=456 --sort=received_at

# Get a single occurrence by ID
flare get-error-occurrence --occurrence-id=789

Performance monitoring

The --type parameter accepts: routes, queries, jobs, commands, external-http, views, livewire-components.

The --filter-interval parameter accepts: 1h, 3h, 6h, 24h (default), 48h, 7d, 14d.

# Get a performance summary for a project (metrics + trends + top-10 slowest)
flare get-monitoring-summary --project-id=123

# List aggregated performance data for routes (paginated, sortable, filterable)
flare list-monitoring-aggregations --project-id=123 --type=routes --sort=-p95

# Filter aggregations — the operator is encoded in the parameter name (e.g. p95:>=), pass only the value
flare list-monitoring-aggregations --project-id=123 --type=queries --filter-p95=500

# Get time series data for a monitoring type
flare get-monitoring-time-series --project-id=123 --type=routes --filter-interval=7d

# Get details for a specific aggregation (e.g. a single route or query)
flare get-monitoring-aggregation --type=routes --uuid=<uuid> --include=parents,children

# List traces for an aggregation (slowest first by default)
flare list-aggregation-traces --type=routes --uuid=<uuid> --sort=slowest

# Get a full trace with span tree, events, resources, and contexts
flare get-trace --trace-id=<trace-id>

Pagination

All list commands support pagination:

flare list-project-errors --project-id=123 --page-number=2 --page-size=20

Response includes meta (current_page, total, last_page) and links (next/prev URLs).

Common workflows

Error triage

List open errors, categorize by exception class, resolve or snooze in batches. See references/workflows.md for the full triage workflow.

Quick version:

# 1. List open errors sorted by most recent
flare list-project-errors --project-id=123 --filter-status=open --sort=-last_seen_at

# 2. Review each error, resolve fixed ones
flare resolve-error --error-id=456

# 3. Snooze noisy but non-critical errors
flare snooze-error --error-id=789 --field snooze_type=snooze_forever

Debug an error with local code

Fetch an occurrence, find application frames, then read the corresponding local files. See references/workflows.md for detailed steps.

Quick version:

# 1. Get the latest occurrence
flare list-error-occurrences --error-id=456 --sort=-received_at --page-size=1

# 2. Look at the frames where application_frame=true
# 3. Read the local file at the reported line number
# 4. Check attributes for request context, events for log trail, solutions for fixes

Investigate slow performance

Get a performance overview, drill into slow aggregations, and inspect individual traces. See references/workflows.md for the full workflow.

Quick version:

# 1. Get the performance summary
flare get-monitoring-summary --project-id=123 --filter-interval=24h

# 2. List the slowest routes by p95
flare list-monitoring-aggregations --project-id=123 --type=routes --sort=-p95

# 3. Get details on a specific slow route
flare get-monitoring-aggregation --type=routes --uuid=<uuid> --include=children

# 4. List traces for that route, slowest first
flare list-aggregation-traces --type=routes --uuid=<uuid>

# 5. Inspect the slowest trace
flare get-trace --trace-id=<trace-id>

Create a project and get API keys

Create a project via CLI, retrieve API keys, and verify errors are flowing. See references/workflows.md for the step-by-step guide.

Output format

All commands return JSON. When presenting results to the user:

• Errors: Show as a table with columns: ID, exception class, message (truncated), status, occurrence count, last seen. Always include the latest_occurrence_url_on_flare link.
• Occurrences: Highlight application frames (where application_frame is true) — these are the user's code, not vendor code. Show the relative_file and line_number.
• Solutions: If solutions is non-empty, always present them prominently — they contain actionable fix suggestions.
• Attributes: Group by the group field (e.g., request, user, environment) when displaying context.
• Events: Show chronologically — they represent the execution trail leading to the error (queries, logs, jobs, etc.).
• Flare URLs: Include latest_occurrence_url_on_flare so the user can view the full error in the Flare dashboard.
• Monitoring aggregations: Show as a table with columns: name/label, p95, average, count, error rate. Highlight aggregations with high p95 or error rate.
• Traces: Show the span tree hierarchically. Highlight spans with the longest duration — these are the bottlenecks.
