README
Provides a seamless integration of Laravel Horizon 5.0 inside October CMS.
Queues, With X-Ray Vision. Supercharge your queues with a beautiful dashboard and code-driven configuration.
A match made in heaven
Horizon is developed by the core developers of the Laravel framework and provides a robust queue monitoring solution for Laravel's Redis queue. Horizon allows you to easily monitor key metrics of your queue system such as job throughput, runtime, and job failures.
Open Source
Horizon is 100% open source, so you're free to dig through the source to see exactly how it works. See something that needs to be improved? Just send us a pull request on GitHub.
Requirements
- October CMS 3.0
- PHP 8.0.2 or higher
- PHP extensions:
ext-pcntl
,ext-posix
andext-redis
. - Supervisor, see Laravel 9.x supervisor configuration.
Installation
composer require vdlp/oc-horizon-plugin
Turn off auto discovery for laravel/horizon
(important)
Because this plugin has it's own HorizonServiceProvider
which extends from the Laravel\Horizon\HorizonServiceProvider
we need to prevent the Laravel\Horizon\HorizonServiceProvider
from being loaded due to Laravels' auto package discovery.
You should add the dont-discover
option to your projects composer.json
file (which is located in the root path of your project).
"extra": {
"laravel": {
"dont-discover": [
"laravel/horizon"
]
}
}
IMPORTANT: After adding these lines, make sure you execute
composer update
to apply the changes. You also need to remove the filestorage/framework/packages.php
file. No worries. This file will be re-generated once you access your project.
IMPORTANT: Make sure the
composer.json
is deployed to your hosting site. This will be parsed by te framework to determine which service providers should be ignored.
Configuration
php artisan horizon:install
- Configure Laravel Horizon settings file at
config/horizon.php
, please make sureuse
containshorizon
(see the configuration snippet below).
/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Horizon Redis Connection
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| This is the name of the Redis connection where Horizon will store the
| meta information required for it to function. It includes the list
| of supervisors, failed jobs, job metrics, and other information.
|
*/
'use' => 'horizon',
- Add connection to
config/queue.php
:
'redis' => [
'driver' => 'redis',
'connection' => 'horizon', // References: databases.redis.horizon
'queue' => env('REDIS_QUEUE', 'default'),
'retry_after' => env('QUEUE_RETRY_AFTER', 90),
'block_for' => null,
],
- Add Redis database configuration for Horizon specifically to
config/databases.php
:
'redis' => [
'cluster' => false,
'client' => 'phpredis',
'default' => [
// ..
],
'horizon' => [
'host' => env('HORIZON_REDIS_HOST', '127.0.0.1'),
'password' => env('HORIZON_REDIS_PASSWORD'),
'port' => env('HORIZON_REDIS_PORT', 6379),
'database' => env('HORIZON_REDIS_DATABASE', '1'),
]
],
- Modify the queue connection
QUEUE_CONNECTION
(which can be found inconfig/queue.php
) toredis
as such:
/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Default Queue Driver
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| The Laravel queue API supports a variety of back-ends via an unified
| API, giving you convenient access to each back-end using the same
| syntax for each one. Here you may set the default queue driver.
|
| Supported: "null", "sync", "database", "beanstalkd",
| "sqs", "iron", "redis"
|
*/
'default' => env('QUEUE_CONNECTION', 'redis'),
.env
should at least have the followingQUEUE_
andHORIZON_
variables:
#
# Queue
#
QUEUE_CONNECTION = "redis"
QUEUE_RETRY_AFTER = 90
#
# Horizon
#
HORIZON_PREFIX = "myproject-local:"
HORIZON_REDIS_HOST = "127.0.0.1"
HORIZON_REDIS_PASSWORD = null
HORIZON_REDIS_PORT = 6379
HORIZON_REDIS_DATABASE = "1"
It's recommended to add your Queue Worker Configuration config.horizon.environments
to the .env
file as well.
Server configuration
- Add the following to the
supervisord
configuration on the server. The completesupervisord
configuration can be found on the supervisor website. - See Configuring Supervisor (Official Laravel Documentation).
[program:<queue-name>-queue]
process_name=%(program_name)s_%(process_num)02d
directory=/<myproject-directory>
command=/<path-to-php>/php /<myproject-directory>/artisan horizon
autostart=true
autorestart=true
stopasgroup=true
killasgroup=true
user=<user>
numprocs=1
redirect_stderr=true
stdout_logfile=/var/log/supervisord/<queue-name>-queue.log
stopwaitsecs=90
- Add the following to the cronjob configuration on the server. This will make sure the Horizon metrics are created periodically.
* * * * * /<path-to-php>/php /<myproject-directory>/artisan schedule:run > /dev/null
Creating Job classes
Follow the instructions at Laravel 9.x generating job classes on how to make Job classes.
Please note that the use of the
php artisan make:job
command is not supported in October CMS. October CMS is using a different application structure in comparison to a generic Laravel project.
This plugin also contains an example job file: Vdlp\Horizon\Example
.
This example file does not use the SerializesModels
and InteractsWithQueue
trait.
Testing
- Log-in to the backend.
- Put application in debug mode using the
.env
file:APP_DEBUG=true
or by changing thedebug
key in theconfig/app.php
file. - Run Horizon using this command:
php artisan horizon
. - Now run this command to push some
Vdlp\Horizon\Example
jobs to the queue:
php artisan vdlp:horizon:push-example-jobs
- Check the Horizon dashboard at
/backend/vdlp/horizon/dashboard
or at/horizon
. - Each
Vdlp\Horizon\Example
job should log a random string to the application log (level =debug
).
