Adding additional context

You can add your own custom, nested JSON-compatible data to the current transaction using ElasticAPM.set_custom_context(hash) eg.:

class ThingsController < ApplicationController before_action do ElasticAPM.set_custom_context(company: current_user.company) end # ... end 

Labels are special in that they are indexed in your Elasticsearch database and therefore queryable.

ElasticAPM.set_label(:company_name, 'Acme, Inc.') 

Note that ., * and " in keys are converted to _.

You can provide ElasticAPM with info about the current user.

class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base before_action do current_user && ElasticAPM.set_user(current_user) end end
