Monitors my services

Uptime Monitoring System

This is an Encore application that continuously monitors the uptime of a list of websites.

When it detects a website going down it posts a Slack message notifying that the website is down, and another message when the website is back up again.

This took about 4 hours to build from scratch, including tests using Encore. It took 2 minutes to deploy, including databases, Pub/Sub topics, and cron jobs.

Install

You will need the Encore CLI to run and deploy this application.

To install Encore, run:

# macOS 
brew install encoredev/tap/encore

# Windows

Using the API

# Check if a given site is up (defaults to 'https://' if left out)
$ curl 'http://localhost:4000/ping/google.com'

# Add a site to be automatically pinged every 5 minutes
curl 'http://localhost:4000/site' -d '{"url":"google.com"}'

# Check all tracked sites immediately
curl -X POST 'http://localhost:4000/checkall'

# Get the current status of all tracked sites
curl 'http://localhost:4000/sites'
