npm install techstar-uptime --save
'use strict';
const express = require('express'),
Uptime = require('techstar-uptime');
const app = express();
app.set('port', process.env.PORT || 5000);
const bot = new Uptime({
SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL: 'SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL'
});
bot.monitor([
{
url: 'https://www.techstar.cloud', // URL of service we'll be pining
timeout: 200 // threshold in milliseconds above which is considered degraded performance
}
]);
app.listen(app.get('port'), () => {
console.log('Express is listening on port', app.get('port'));
});
Head on over to the Incoming WebHooks Slack app. If you're signed in to your Slack Workspace you should see an Add Configuration button. Hit it!
Select or create a new channel then hit the Add Incoming WebHooks integration
Grab the WebHook URL and paste it into the SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL
, which would look like so:
SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL=https://hooks.slack.com/services/XXXXXX/YYYYYY/XXXXXXXXXXXX
You can update
bot.monitor([
{
url: 'https://www.techstar.cloud', // URL of service we'll be pining
timeout: 200 // threshold in milliseconds above which is considered degraded performance
}
]);
with the services you wish to monitor and throw the code up on a server.
