Notifications

MoonGuard ships with some notifications for multiple use cases and scenarios, the following notifications are available:

• Request Took Longer Than Maximum Duration.
• SSL Certificate Check Failed.
• SSL Certificate Expires Soon.
• Uptime Check Failed.
• Uptime Check Recovered.
• New Exception Log Group.
• Server Metric alert.

MoonGuard use an email channel to send notifications by default. You can also add a slack channel in the notification This can be modified by your own preference in the configuration file:

<?php
[
  'notifications' => [
    /*
     * The notification channels that are used by default.
     */
    'channels' => ['mail'], <- //add slack (optional)

    'slack' => [
      /*
       * The Slack webhook url setup.
       */
      'webhook_url' => env('SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL'),
    ],
  ],
];

Notifications in MoonGuard where designed to be send in queues but they can also be send using a sync driver.

Queue setup

To send notifications in queues, you can set up a queue driver (we recommend Redis).

In your .env file you must add the following variables here an example:

QUEUE_CONNECTION=redis
//...
REDIS_HOST=127.0.0.1
REDIS_CLIENT=predis
REDIS_PASSWORD=null
REDIS_PORT=6379

Heads Up

Notice: You can use phpredis or predis as a client in REDIS_CLIENT.
