A PHP application to monitor uptime and ssl certificates
uptime-monitor-app is a powerful, easy to configure uptime monitor written in PHP 7. It will notify you when one of your sites goes down (and when it comes back up). You can also be notified a few days before an SSL certificate on one of your sites expires. Out of the box you can be notified via mail or Slack.
Here are some examples of how the Slack notifications look like:

Under the hood the uptime-monitor is a vanilla Laravel 5.3 application with the laravel-uptime-monitor installed into it. If you know your way around Laravel, it's recommended that you use laravel-uptime-monitor instead of this app.
Installation
You can install the application by issuing this command:
composer create-project spatie/uptime-monitor-app <name of install directory>
To complete your installation these steps must be performed:
First you should add the following command to your cron table. It should run every minute:
php <installation path>/artisan schedule:run
Secondly, specify a Slack webhook url in the notifications.slack.url key
in configuration.php found in the installation directory. You can create a new webhook url on the Slack website.
Configuration
The configuration file configuration.php is located inside the installation directory.
Reading it is a good way to quickly get a feel of what uptime-monitor-app can do. Here's the content of the config file:

* You can get notified when specific events occur. Out of the box you can use 'mail'

];
Basic usage
To start monitoring a url:
php artisan monitor:create <url>
and answer the questions that are asked. If your url starts with https:// the application will also monitor the ssl certificate.
To stop monitoring a url issue this command:
php artisan monitor:delete <url>
To list all monitors you can perform:
php artisan monitor:list
