Laravel Health Monitor

A lightweight, extendable Laravel package for monitoring the health of internal services like Database, Redis, Queue, Cache, Filesystem, and any third-party APIs.

Built for developers who care about observability and application resilience.

Installation

Install the package via Composer:

composer require mrtolouei/laravel-health-monitor

Publish the configuration and provider stub:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=health-monitor-config
php artisan vendor:publish --tag=health-monitor-provider

Configuration

The config file will be published to:

config/health-monitor.php

It contains two main sections:

✅ App Services

You can enable/disable health checkers and configure each one:

'app-services' => [
    'database' => [
        'enabled' => true,
        'inspector' => HealthMonitor\Monitors\DatabaseHealthChecker::class,
        'arguments' => [
            'connection' => config('database.default', 'sqlite')
        ],
    ],
    'filesystem' => [
        'enabled' => true,
        'inspector' => HealthMonitor\Monitors\FilesystemHealthChecker::class,
        'arguments' => [
            'disk' => config('filesystems.default', 'local')
        ],
    ],
    ...
],

🌐 Third-Party APIs

You can define any number of third-party HTTP APIs to monitor:

'third-party-services' => [
    'json-test-api' => [
        'enabled' => true,
        'url' => 'https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/todos/1',
        'method' => 'GET',
        'headers' => [
            'Accept' => 'application/json',
        ],
        'auth' => null,
        'timeout' => 5,
        'expected_status' => 200,
    ],
],

Supported authentication types:

• none
• basic (username & password)
• bearer (token)
• ntlm

🔒 Access Control

A Gate is registered automatically to restrict access to non-local environments.

You can customize allowed users in config/health-monitor.php:

'allowed_emails' => [
    'admin@example.com',
    'dev@example.com',
],

📡 Routes

This package registers two routes (behind the viewHealthMonitor gate):

Route	Method	Description
/api-service-health	GET	Returns JSON of health check status
/service-health	GET	Shows a Blade view of statuses

🧪 Add Custom Checkers

Create a new class that implements the HealthCheckerInterface:

use HealthMonitor\Contracts\HealthCheckerInterface;
use HealthMonitor\Dto\HealthResult;

class CustomChecker implements HealthCheckerInterface {
    public function monitor(): HealthResult {
        return new HealthResult('My Checker', 'custom', true);
    }

    public function getConnectionDriver(): string|null {
        return 'custom';
    }
}

Then register it in the config file.
