Monitor your Laravel scheduled commands with Laravel Forge Heartbeats.

This package automatically syncs your Laravel scheduled commands with Forge heartbeats and pings them when tasks run.

• No Database Required - Everything managed through Forge API
• Automatic Sync - Keep heartbeats in sync with your schedule
• Automatic Pinging - Tasks ping heartbeats when they run
• Queue Support - Non-blocking heartbeat pings via queues

Note: this package is not ready yet. Forge v2 API is still in beta and behind a feature flag.

You can install the package via Composer:

composer require srwiez/forge-heartbeats

1. API Token: Generate in your Forge dashboard (https://forge.laravel.com/profile/api). You need at least site:manage-heartbeats and server:view permission for this package.
2. Organization: Look for the slug in the URL when viewing your organization (e.g., my-org in https://forge.laravel.com/your-organization/)
3. Server ID: Found in the server homepage
4. Site ID: Found in the site homepage

Add these environment variables to your .env file:

FORGE_API_TOKEN=your_forge_api_token_here
FORGE_ORGANIZATION=your_organization_slug
FORGE_SERVER_ID=12345
FORGE_SITE_ID=67890

# Optional: Default grace period for heartbeats (default: 5 minutes)
FORGE_HEARTBEAT_GRACE_PERIOD=5

# Optional: Custom cache store for heartbeat data (default: uses Laravel's default cache)
FORGE_HEARTBEAT_CACHE_STORE=redis

For more configuration options, publish the config file:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag="forge-heartbeats-config"

Test your Forge connection:

php artisan forge-heartbeats:verify

Then view the status of all your heartbeats:

php artisan forge-heartbeats:list

This should run after every deployment to keep heartbeats up to date.

php artisan forge-heartbeats:sync

This command will:

• Create heartbeats for new scheduled tasks
• Update existing heartbeats if changed
• Remove heartbeats for deleted tasks (unless --keep-old)

Add heartbeat configuration to your scheduled tasks:

// app/Console/Kernel.php

protected function schedule(Schedule $schedule)
{
    // Basic task - uses command name as heartbeat name
    $schedule->command('backup:run')->daily();
    
    // Custom heartbeat name
    $schedule->command('reports:generate')
        ->hourly()
        ->heartbeatName('hourly-reports');
    
    // Custom grace period (time allowed for task to complete)
    $schedule->command('sync:users')
        ->daily()
        ->heartbeatName('user-sync')
        ->graceTimeInMinutes(30);
    
    // Skip monitoring for specific tasks
    $schedule->command('cache:clear')
        ->everyMinute()
        ->doNotMonitorOnForge();
}
