Laravel Health integration

Run your own checks, we handle the alerting

Expose the health checks you already run in Laravel Health and let Oh Dear handle alerting and history. You control the checks; we make sure the right person hears about issues fast.

Keep the logic in your app where it belongs, and keep alerts centralized across all your projects.

Scheduled task monitoring

Know when queues and cron jobs stop running

Monitor cron jobs, queues, and scheduled tasks across environments. When a job stops running or a queue stalls, you get an alert before anyone notices.

Use our Laravel and Symfony packages to wire it up in minutes.

SSL certificate details and expiry monitoring

SSL certificate monitoring

Never get woken up by an expired cert again

If you're managing Let's Encrypt renewals or self-signed certs, you know how easy it is for one to slip through. We check your certificates daily and alert you 30, 14, and 7 days before expiry.

We also catch chain issues, weak algorithms, and configuration problems that break HTTPS silently.

TCP port monitoring

Monitor MySQL, Redis, and other services your app depends on

Your PHP app doesn't run in isolation. When MySQL on port 3306 or Redis on 6379 goes down, your app throws exceptions. We monitor the services you depend on and alert you before your error tracker fills up.

Monitor databases, cache servers, queue workers, and any TCP service your infrastructure relies on.

Broken links and mixed content detection

Catch issues after deploys and content changes

Every time you deploy or someone updates content, links can break. We crawl your site daily and flag broken links, missing images, and mixed content warnings before they hurt SEO or user experience.

Especially useful if you're building CMSs, e-commerce sites, or any app where content changes frequently.

API monitoring for critical endpoints

Validate responses and track latency

Monitor JSON endpoints with payload checks and timing thresholds. If a response changes or slows down, you know before users do.

Great for auth, checkout, and integrations where a 200 status isn't enough.

Performance and uptime in one place

One dashboard for every app and API

Track uptime, performance, and SSL health for every PHP app and API endpoint. Set performance budgets per endpoint and catch slowdowns before users feel them.

Use tags to organize by environment, client, or team, and get the same view across all your projects.

Alerts that fit your workflow

Slack, PagerDuty, email, webhooks, and more

Send alerts to Slack, PagerDuty, Opsgenie, or your own webhooks. Route alerts per project so the right developer gets paged, not the whole team.

Keep a clean alert history so you can debug quickly after deploys.

Status pages for incident communication

Give stakeholders a clear, trusted source

Spin up a status page for each app or customer-facing service. When incidents happen, you have one place to point people to.

It keeps support noise down and gives you space to communicate clearly.

Let's get technical (if you're into that)

Wire up Oh Dear with your Laravel app in minutes. Here's how to get started with our most popular PHP integrations.

Laravel Health integration

Expose your health checks to Oh Dear

Install the package and publish the config:

composer require spatie/laravel-health

php artisan vendor:publish --tag="health-config"

Enable the Oh Dear endpoint in your config:

// config/health.php
return [
    'oh_dear_endpoint' => [
        'enabled' => true,
        'secret' => env('OH_DEAR_HEALTH_CHECK_SECRET'),
        'url' => 'health',
    ],
];

Scheduled task monitoring

Monitor your scheduled commands with a simple ping

Install our package and sync your tasks:

composer require spatie/laravel-schedule-monitor

php artisan schedule-monitor:sync

Or use Laravel's built-in ping method:

// routes/console.php
Schedule::command('your:command')
    ->daily()
    ->thenPingOhDear('your-ping-url');

Frequently asked questions

Install the spatie/laravel-health package and enable the Oh Dear endpoint in your config. Your existing health checks (database connections, queue status, disk space, etc.) are automatically exposed to Oh Dear. We handle alerting and history while you control the checks in your app where they belong.

Yes. Use our spatie/laravel-schedule-monitor package to sync your scheduled commands, or use Laravel's built-in thenPingOhDear() method. When a job stops running or a queue stalls, you get an alert before anyone notices. No more silent failures.

No. Oh Dear monitors from outside your infrastructure with no agents or daemons to install. For Laravel Health integration, you just expose an endpoint. For scheduled task monitoring, your jobs ping us when they complete. Simple, lightweight, and doesn't add complexity to your stack.

Absolutely. We monitor any TCP service on any port. When MySQL on 3306 or Redis on 6379 goes down, you get alerted before your error tracker fills up. Monitor the infrastructure your app relies on, not just the web endpoints.

We monitor your SSL certificates automatically and alert you 30, 14, and 7 days before expiry. We also catch chain issues, weak algorithms, and misconfigurations that cause intermittent HTTPS failures. Never scramble for an expired Let's Encrypt certificate again.
