README

Ships Laravel application telemetry — requests, exceptions, slow queries, jobs, cache hit/miss, scheduled task runs, and outgoing HTTP calls — to the CodeBros portal's monitoring dashboard.

It reuses Laravel Pulse as infrastructure only: Pulse's Ingest buffering contract and the pulse:work flush loop. It does not use Pulse's dashboard or most of its built-in recorders — those are optimized for lightweight sampled aggregates, not the full per-event detail (HTTP status codes, job success/failed/retried, scheduled task health) the portal needs. Instead, custom recorders capture that detail and buffer it the same way Pulse does, and a custom Ingest implementation batches it to the portal over HTTP instead of writing to a local database.

Installation

composer require codebros-nl/monitoring-client

Publish the config file:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=monitoring-client-config

Configuration

Set these in the client app's .env — the token comes from the portal's project Monitoring tab ("Monitoring-app toevoegen"):

MONITORING_ENDPOINT=https://portal.codebros.nl/api/monitoring/ingest
MONITORING_TOKEN=the-token-shown-once-when-you-create-the-app

Telemetry is buffered in the application's default cache store between requests/jobs. The cache store must be one that persists across processes (file, database, redis, memcached) — array will silently drop everything, since it never leaves the current process. Set MONITORING_CACHE_STORE to point at a specific store if the app's default cache driver isn't suitable.

Running the flush loop

Buffered telemetry is only sent to the portal when something calls Pulse::digest(). Run Laravel Pulse's own pulse:work command as a supervised background process — this package doesn't ship its own command, it rides on Pulse's:

php artisan pulse:work

Under Supervisor (or an equivalent process manager), matching how you'd run pulse:work for stock Pulse:

[program:monitoring-client-worker]
command=php /path/to/artisan pulse:work
autostart=true
autorestart=true
user=www-data

Restart it after deploys the same way you would pulse:work:

php artisan pulse:restart

What gets sent

Table (portal side)	Source
`monitoring_requests`	Custom recorder — every request, with status code
`monitoring_exceptions`	Custom recorder — class, message, context, trace
`monitoring_queries`	Pulse's `SlowQueries` recorder, `threshold: 0`
`monitoring_jobs`	Custom recorder — success/failed/retried, queue
`monitoring_cache`	Pulse's `CacheInteractions` recorder
`monitoring_scheduled_tasks`	Custom recorder — Pulse ships none for this
`monitoring_outgoing_requests`	Custom recorder — every HTTP client call, with status

Not captured, by design: full request/response payloads, and any user-level tracking (matches the portal's own privacy scope).

Development
