Honeybadger groups errors by the environment they belong to. You don’t have to set an environment, but it can be useful if you’re running your app in different locations, such as “production” and “staging”.

To set the environment in Honeybadger, add the `environment_name` setting to your [configuration](https://docs.honeybadger.io/lib/php/reference/configuration/):

```php
[
    'environment_name' => 'production',
]
```

Honeybadger reports errors in all environments that also have an API key configured.
