Laravel Forge Monitoring: More About

Monitoring in Laravel Forge entails keeping tabs on the servers’ and apps’ general health, availability, and performance. Some of the key features include:

1. Track CPU, memory, and disk usage to identify and fix performance bottlenecks.

2. Monitor the Laravel app’s performance and uptime with alerts for downtime or performance issues.

3. Receive notifications if essential services like Nginx, MySQL, or Redis encounter issues.

4. Monitor deployment success or failure to maintain a stable production environment.

5. Get notifications via email, Slack, or other channels for server or application issues.

6. Access server logs directly from the Forge dashboard for easy troubleshooting.

How To Set It Up?

1. Log into the Forge account and use the setup wizard to create and manage a server for monitoring.

2. From the Forge dashboard, go to the server to monitor CPU, memory, disk usage, and more.

3. In the “Monitoring” section, set up alerts for CPU, memory, disk space, and service metrics with customizable thresholds.

4. Use the “Notifications” section to integrate with third-party services like Slack for alert notifications.

5. Access the “Logs” section on the Forge dashboard to view Nginx, MySQL, and other service logs for troubleshooting.

Best Practices

1. Check the server and application metrics often to spot trends and issues early.

2. Configure alerts for critical metrics with correct thresholds to avoid false alarms or missed issues.

3. Track deployment history and watch for failures to quickly address any problems from recent changes.

4. Keep the servers and applications updated to get the latest performance, security, and feature enhancements.

5. Use monitoring insights to optimize resources, such as scaling up during high traffic or refining code to reduce load.
