Complete Guide to Monitoring Laravel Task Scheduling for Free
Technical GuidesThe Problem
Laravel's scheduler is powerful, but if the main <code>artisan schedule:run</code> cron job fails, none of your tasks will execute. You might not notice for days until users complain about missing emails or reports.
The Solution
Integrate CronRabbit directly into your <code>app/Console/Kernel.php</code>. Use the <code>thenPing()</code> method for success and custom listeners for failure events.
Native Laravel Integration
Laravel has built-in support for pinging URLs after a task completes successfully. This is the easiest way to get started with CronRabbit.
Code Examples
Laravel Kernel Integration
PHP$schedule->command('emails:send')
->daily()
->thenPing('https://api.cronrabbit.com/ping/YOUR-ID');
