return [
    'monitor' => [
        'enabled' => env('BETTER_UPTIME_MONITOR_ENABLED', true),
        'path' => env('BETTER_UPTIME_MONITOR_PATH', 'better-uptime'),
    ],

    'heartbeat' => [

            'delay' => env('BETTER_UPTIME_HEARTBEAT_RETRY_DELAY', 3000),
        ],
    ],
];

Usage

Monitoring

Create a BetterUptime monitor using https://{yourDomain}/better-uptime as the URL (you can change the path using the BETTER_UPTIME_MONITOR_PATH environment variable).

You can either set BetterUptime to alert you when it “Becomes unavailable” or “Doesn’t contain keyword”; if you choose the keyword method, use your app’s name (APP_ENV environment variable) or “BetterUptime” as the keyword.

To disable the route, set BETTER_UPTIME_MONITOR_ENABLED=false.

Heartbeat

Create a BetterUptime heartbeat monitor with your desired name, frequency, and grace period.

Determine the frequency in minutes (e.g., 1 hour = 60, 1 day = 1440, etc.) and set these environment variables:

BETTER_UPTIME_HEARTBEAT_URL=https://betteruptime.com/api/v1/heartbeat/abc123
BETTER_UPTIME_HEARTBEAT_FREQUENCY=5

To disable heartbeat monitoring, remove the BETTER_UPTIME_HEARTBEAT_URL or set BETTER_UPTIME_HEARTBEAT_ENABLED=false.
