Automation
Uptime check
Poll a URL and raise the alarm when it stops answering.
What it asks you for
- Checksrequired
- How often to poll.
- URLrequired
- What to poll.
- Healthy means
- What a good response looks like.
What it tells the AI to do
Set up an uptime check.
- URL: {{ url }}
- Healthy: {{ healthy | default("HTTP 200") }}
- Checks: {{ schedule.human }} ({{ schedule.timezone }}), cron `{{ schedule.cron }}`
Create it with `automation create`, passing the cron and timezone verbatim.
Alert on transitions only: up to down, and down back to up. The recovery alert
matters as much as the failure one, because without it nobody knows whether to
keep looking.
Require two consecutive failures before declaring it down. A single failed poll
is usually the network between you and the target, and an alert per blip is an
alert nobody reads.
Include in the alert: the status or error, how long it has been failing, and
the time of the last good check.- automation
