pulse-development

Install Laravel Pulse by running composer require laravel/pulse, then publish the provider assets with php artisan vendor:publish and run php artisan migrate. The dashboard becomes available at /pulse and supports MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL, and SQLite.

Create a Livewire component extending Laravel\Pulse\Livewire\Card and use $this->aggregate() to query recorded entries. Record data with Pulse::record() chained with aggregation methods like sum() and count(), then render the results in a Blade view.

An empty dashboard usually means Pulse tables were not migrated or pulse:work is not running when using Redis ingest. The dashboard is also local-only by default, so you must define the viewPulse gate in AppServiceProvider for production access.

Yes, Pulse supports Redis ingest to offload entry writes from the request cycle, requiring Redis 6.2+ with phpredis or predis. Set PULSE_INGEST_DRIVER=redis and run php artisan pulse:work to drain the stream into the database.

The Servers card requires the pulse:check command running as a persistent daemon, typically managed by Supervisor. Without this process, no server metrics are collected, and the card remains empty.
