🏥 Health Monitoring

📊 Real-Time Health Dashboard

SmartFailover automatically creates health endpoints for monitoring:

# 🌐 HTTP Health Endpoints
GET /health                 # Overall health status
GET /health/detailed        # Detailed health information  
GET /health/database        # Database-specific health
GET /health/cache          # Cache-specific health
GET /health/queue          # Queue-specific health

📈 Performance

⚡ Optimized for Speed

Feature	Performance Impact	Optimization
🔄 Connection Pooling	-50% overhead	Reuse connections
🏃 Async Health Checks	-80% request latency	Background monitoring
💾 Result Caching	-90% repeated checks	Smart caching
🎯 Lazy Loading	-30% memory usage	Load on demand

🚀 Connection Pooling

// Connections are automatically pooled and reused
SmartFailover::db('mysql_primary', ['mysql_backup'])
    ->poolConnections(true) // Default: true
    ->execute(function() {
        // Multiple queries use the same connection
        User::all();
        Order::all();
        Product::all();
    });

🏃 Async Health Checks

// config/smart-failover.php
'health_checks' => [
    'async' => true,              // Run health checks in background
    'interval' => 30,             // Check every 30 seconds
    'cache_results' => true,      // Cache health check results
    'cache_ttl' => 60,           // Cache for 60 seconds
    'parallel_checks' => true,    // Check services in parallel
],

📊 Performance Monitoring

use Mirzaaghazadeh\SmartFailover\Services\PerformanceMonitor;

$monitor = app(PerformanceMonitor::class);

// Get performance metrics
$metrics = $monitor->getMetrics();
/*

🔒 Security

🛡️ Security Best Practices

🔐 Credential Management	🚫 Access Control	📝 Audit Logging
Environment variables only	Rate limit health endpoints	Log all failover events
No credentials in logs	IP whitelist for monitoring	Secure log storage
Encrypted connection strings	Authentication required	Compliance ready

🔐 Secure Configuration

// config/smart-failover.php
'security' => [
    'health_endpoints' => [
