This package will monitor your Laravel schedule. It will write an entry to a log table in the db each time a schedule tasks starts, end, fails or is skipped. Using the list command you can check when the scheduled tasks have been executed.
This package can also sync your schedule with Oh Dear. Oh Dear will send you a notification whenever a scheduled task doesn't run on time or fails.

];The schedule monitor will log each start, finish and failure of all scheduled jobs. After a while the monitored_scheduled_task_log_items might become big.
Use Laravel's model pruning feature , you can delete old MonitoredScheduledTaskLogItem models. Models older than the amount of days configured in the delete_log_items_older_than_days in the schedule-monitor config file, will be deleted.
// app/Console/Kernel.php
use Spatie\ScheduleMonitor\Models\MonitoredScheduledTaskLogItem;
class Kernel extends ConsoleKernel
{
protected function schedule(Schedule $schedule)
{
$schedule->command('model:prune', ['--model' => MonitoredScheduledTaskLogItem::class])->daily();
}
}Every time you deploy your application, you should execute the schedule-monitor:sync command
php artisan schedule-monitor:syncThis command is responsible for syncing your schedule with the database, and optionally Oh Dear. We highly recommend adding this command to the script that deploys your production environment.
In a non-production environment you should manually run schedule-monitor:sync. You can verify if everything synced correctly using schedule-monitor:list.
Note: Running the sync command will remove any other cron monitors that you've defined other than the application schedule.
If you would like to use non-destructive syncs to Oh Dear so that you can monitor other cron tasks outside of Laravel, you can use the --keep-old flag. This will only push new tasks to Oh Dear, rather than a full sync. Note that this will not remove any tasks from Oh Dear that are no longer in your schedule.
To monitor your schedule you should first run schedule-monitor:sync. This command will take a look at your schedule and create an entry for each task in the monitored_scheduled_tasks table.
To view all monitored scheduled tasks, you can run schedule-monitor:list. This command will list all monitored scheduled tasks. It will show you when a scheduled task has last started, finished, or failed.
The package will write an entry to the monitored_scheduled_task_log_items table in the db each time a schedule tasks starts, end, fails or is skipped. Take a look at the contents of that table if you want to know when and how scheduled tasks did execute. The log items also hold other interesting metrics like memory usage, execution time, and more.
Schedule monitor will try to automatically determine a name for a scheduled task. For commands this is the command name, for anonymous jobs the class name of the first argument will be used. For some tasks, like scheduled closures, a name cannot be determined automatically.
To manually set a name of the scheduled task, you can tack on monitorName().
Here's an example.
// in app/Console/Kernel.php
protected function schedule(Schedule $schedule)
{
$schedule->command('your-command')->daily()->monitorName('a-custom-name');
$schedule->call(fn () => 1 + 1)->hourly()->monitorName('addition-closure');
}When you change the name of task, the schedule monitor will remove all log items of the monitor with the old name, and create a new monitor using the new name of the task.
When the package detects that the last run of a scheduled task did not run in time, the schedule-monitor list will display that task using a red background color. In this screenshot the task named your-command ran too late.
The package will determine that a task ran too late if it was not finished at the time it was supposed to run + the grace time. You can think of the grace time as the number of minutes that a task under normal circumstances needs to finish. By default, the package grants a grace time of 5 minutes to each task.
You can customize the grace time by using the graceTimeInMinutes method on a task. In this example a grace time of 10 minutes is used for the your-command task.
// in app/Console/Kernel.php
protected function schedule(Schedule $schedule)
{
$schedule->command('your-command')->daily()->graceTimeInMinutes(10);
}You can avoid a scheduled task being monitored by tacking on doNotMonitor when scheduling the task.
// in app/Console/Kernel.php
protected function schedule(Schedule $schedule)
{
$schedule->command('your-command')->daily()->doNotMonitor();
}You can store the output by tacking on storeOutputInDb when scheduling the task.
// in app/Console/Kernel.php
protected function schedule(Schedule $schedule)
{
$schedule->command('your-command')->daily()->storeOutputInDb();
}The output will be stored in the monitored_scheduled_task_log_items table, in the output key of the meta column.
If you're using spatie/laravel-multitenancy you should add the PingOhDearJob to
the not_tenant_aware_jobs array in config/multitenancy.php.
'not_tenant_aware_jobs' => [
// ...
\Spatie\ScheduleMonitor\Jobs\PingOhDearJob::class,
]Without it, the PingOhDearJob will fail as no tenant will be set.
This package can sync your schedule with the Oh Dear cron check. Oh Dear will send you a notification whenever a scheduled task does not finish on time.
To get started you will first need to install the Oh Dear SDK.
composer require ohdearapp/ohdear-php-sdkNext you, need to make sure the api_token and site_id keys of the schedule-monitor are filled with an API token, and an Oh Dear site id. To verify that these values hold correct values you can run this command.
php artisan schedule-monitor:verify
To sync your schedule with Oh Dear run this command:
php artisan schedule-monitor:sync
After that, the list command should show that all the scheduled tasks in your app are registered on Oh Dear.
To keep scheduled jobs as short as possible, Oh Dear will be pinged via queued jobs. To ensure speedy delivery to Oh Dear, and to avoid false positive notifications, we highly recommend creating a dedicated queue for these jobs. You can put the name of that queue in the queue key of the config file.
Oh Dear will wait for the completion of a schedule tasks for a given amount of minutes. This is called the grace time. By default, all scheduled tasks will have a grace time of 5 minutes. To customize this value, you can tack on graceTimeInMinutes to your scheduled tasks.
Here's an example where Oh Dear will send a notification if the task didn't finish by 00:10.
// in app/Console/Kernel.php
protected function schedule(Schedule $schedule)
{
$schedule->command('your-command')->daily()->graceTimeInMinutes(10);
}If you want to have a task monitored by the schedule monitor, but not by Oh Dear, you can tack on doMonitorAtOhDear to your scheduled tasks.
// in app/Console/Kernel.php
protected function schedule(Schedule $schedule)
{
$schedule->command('your-command')->daily()->doNotMonitorAtOhDear();
}Currently, this package does not work for tasks that use these methods:
betweenunlessBetweenwhenskip
We assume that, when your scheduled tasks do not run properly, a scheduled task that sends out notifications would probably not run either. That's why this package doesn't send out notifications by itself.
These services can notify you when scheduled tasks do not run properly:
