Hi,
I just setup my own instance of healthchecks [0] also available as hosted service [1].
What this does is simply monitoring if systems regularly send alive pings and trigger an email
alert if that’s not the case.
What I like a lot is the very simple integration in the system that should be monitored. In bash
it’s for example:
curl --retry 3 https://hc-ping.com/d73909f1-0bfd-4251-b679-45435081d3e8
I’m starting to use this in many of the services that I host.
My question is now if I can use this with MiaB as well? Can I setup MiaB to periodically
execute:
curl --retry 3 https://hc-ping.com/d73909f1-0bfd-4251-b679-45435081d3e8
Adding this to confirm that the MiaB backups have been completed successfully would be
a great way to see that the system is up and well.
Best
