Monitored Jobs for Laravel

Overview

This package tracks the status and history of your queued jobs by hooking into the events that Laravel fires for its queue system.

We store this data in a database table, monitored_jobs.

Installation

composer require aryeo/monitored-jobs

Configuration

You can optionally publish the configuration file, which allows you to configure:

if monitoring is enabled
which jobs to monitor
the number of days to keep monitored job history before pruning

To publish the config file:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=monitored-jobs

Controlling monitoring

To control whether any job is monitored, set the monitored-jobs.enabled configuration value.

There are two configuration options for filtering which jobs are monitored: include_jobs and exclude_jobs. The default value for both config options is null, which will include any job class.

'include_jobs' => null means we are not setting the config option, so all jobs are monitored
'include_jobs' => [] means we are setting the config option to include no jobs, meaning no jobs are monitored

Including and excluding the same job class

The exclude_jobs option will be checked first and will skip monitoring the job if it is found to be excluded.

Pruning Monitored Jobs

The MonitoredJob model is setup to use Laravel's model pruning: https://laravel.com/docs/8.x/eloquent#pruning-models.

In order for the models to be pruned, you must setup the command via the scheduler:

protected function schedule(Schedule $schedule)
{
    $schedule->command('model:prune')->daily();
}

You can adjust how long the monitored job records are kept for via the config file:

'prune_after_days' => 14,
