README

We all dream of servers that need no maintenance at all. But unfortunately in reality this is not the case. Disks can get full, processes can crash, the server can run out of memory...

This package keeps an eye on the health of all your servers. There are a few checks that come out of the box. Adding new checks is a breeze.

When something goes wrong it can notify you via Slack or mail.

Support us

We invest a lot of resources into creating best in class open source packages. You can support us by buying one of our paid products.

We highly appreciate you sending us a postcard from your hometown, mentioning which of our package(s) you are using. You'll find our address on our contact page. We publish all received postcards on our virtual postcard wall.

Documentation

The full documentation is available on our documentation site.

Installation

You can install this package via composer using this command:

composer require spatie/laravel-server-monitor

In Laravel 5.5 the service provider will automatically get registered. In older versions of the framework, you must install the service provider:

// config/app.php
'providers' => [
    ...
    Spatie\ServerMonitor\ServerMonitorServiceProvider::class,
];

You can publish the migrations with:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Spatie\ServerMonitor\ServerMonitorServiceProvider" --tag="migrations"

After the migration has been published you can create the hosts and checks tables by running the migrations:

php artisan migrate

You must publish the config-file with:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Spatie\ServerMonitor\ServerMonitorServiceProvider" --tag="config"

This is the contents of the published config file:

return [

    /*
     * These are the checks that can be performed on your servers. You can add your own
     * checks. The only requirement is that they should extend the
     * `Spatie\ServerMonitor\Checks\CheckDefinitions\CheckDefinition` class.

    'check_model' => Spatie\ServerMonitor\Models\Check::class,

    /*
     * Right before running a check its process will be given to this class. Here you
     * can perform some last minute manipulations on it before it will

Need a UI?

The package doesn't come with any screens out of the box. You may use the Nova package by @paras-malhotra for monitoring servers on Laravel Nova.
