NightOwl is a monitoring dashboard built on top of Laravel Nightwatch. It takes the telemetry data that Nightwatch collects from your Laravel app and stores it in your own PostgreSQL database.

​
How it works

  1. Laravel Nightwatch instruments your app and collects telemetry (requests, exceptions, queries, jobs, etc.)
  2. The NightOwl agent receives that telemetry, buffers it locally, and drains it into your PostgreSQL database
  3. The NightOwl dashboard gives you a full monitoring UI on top of that data

​
What you get

  • All 12 Laravel event types: requests, exceptions, queries, jobs, commands, scheduled tasks, cache, mail, notifications, outgoing requests, logs, and users
  • Issue management with priority, assignment, comments, and activity timelines
  • Multi-channel alert notifications (Slack, Discord, Email, Webhook)
  • Performance thresholds that auto-create issues
  • Granular data clearing with preview and protection windows
  • Agent instance health monitoring with capacity insights
  • No event limits, no retention caps — you scale the way you want
