#Heartbeat Monitor In order to test if our Laravel queue is still working, a job is added every minute that simply updates a timestamp called 'heartbeat_date'. This monitoring script checks for a lack of change in that value, and if so trigger slack notifications. Notifications of errors are only repeated every 60 mins to avoid notification spam.

#Install
