README

Vista is a Horizon-style scheduler monitor for Laravel. It provides a beautiful Vue-powered dashboard to view, supervise, and manage your scheduled tasks in real time. With Vista, you can track the status of your jobs, monitor the scheduler loop, and ensure your application's scheduled commands are running reliably.

✨ Features

• 📊 Dashboard UI — A Vue SPA that displays your scheduled tasks and their execution status.
• ⏱️ Scheduler Supervisor — Runs schedule:run at configurable intervals.
• ⚙️ Configurable Interval — Control how often Vista checks and runs tasks.
• 🔌 Laravel Package — Ships as a reusable package with auto-discovery.
• 🧪 Tested with Orchestra Testbench — Ensures reliability across Laravel versions.

📦 Installation

🔧 Publishing Assets

Vista ships with configuration, views, and compiled dashboard assets. Publish them with:

The default configuration file is config/vista.php. You can adjust the scheduler interval:
