Laravel has just launched Laravel Nightwatch, a comprehensive monitoring solution designed exclusively for Laravel applications. Get complete real-time visibility into your production environment, receive intelligent alerts for issues, and resolve problems before they impact your users.
What is Laravel Nightwatch
Laravel Nightwatch is purpose-built for Laravel applications, unlike generic monitoring tools that are simply adapted. While Laravel Telescope excels at local development debugging and Laravel Pulse provides basic application metrics, Laravel Nightwatch delivers comprehensive production monitoring with deep Laravel integration.
This intelligent monitoring solution understands Laravel's ecosystem and automatically tracks relationships between HTTP requests, queue jobs, database queries, and other application components. It's engineered for development teams who need collaborative problem-solving capabilities and actionable insights into their production environments.

Why Laravel created Nightwatch
All developers have problems when apps go live. Slow pages and errors happen any time. When users complain, regular logs don't show the full story.
Laravel Telescope is great for fixing bugs locally and Laravel Pulse works well for simple charts. But when production apps get complex - like finding slow database queries or when your team needs to work together - Laravel needed something better.
So Laravel built Laravel Nightwatch. Laravel wanted good monitoring that understands Laravel and tracks how requests, jobs, and queries work together.
