Customization

Adding Custom Checks

You can add custom checks by extending the AbstractCheck and registering your custom check(s) in the ext_localconf.php file.

Customizing Check Results Array

You can customize the result array of all checks by listening to the HealthCheckAfterRunEvent event.

# EXT:my_extension/Configuration/Services.yaml
services:
  # ...
  MyVendor\MyExtension\EventListener\HealthCheckAfterRunEventListener:
    tags:
      - name: event.listener
