We are excited to announce that Xitoring now supports PagerDuty integration, allowing you to send alerts and notifications directly to your PagerDuty account. This integration will greatly enhance your incident management capabilities and ensure that the right person is alerted during critical situations.

Here are some key benefits of the PagerDuty + Xitoring integration:

Notify on-call responders based on alerts sent from Xitoring: With this integration, Xitoring will seamlessly send notifications to PagerDuty, ensuring that the right on-call responder is immediately notified when an incident occurs.
Automatic incident resolution: Incidents in PagerDuty will automatically resolve when the metric and status in Xitoring return to normal. This bidirectional synchronization between the two platforms saves time and ensures that you stay on top of any issues.

So, how does it work?

Xitoring will send an event to a service in PagerDuty whenever downtime or anomalies are detected. This immediate notification ensures that your team can quickly respond and address the issue at hand. Additionally, when your server or metric is back up, Xitoring will send an event to PagerDuty to automatically resolve the incident.

To make use of this integration, you will need a paid account or trial account on Xitoring. We’ve provided a detailed integration walkthrough in our documentation to guide you through the process.

If you encounter any issues or need assistance with this integration, our support team is here to help. Simply reach out to support@xitoring.com or submit a ticket, and we’ll get back to you promptly.

To enable PagerDuty integration, navigate to the Notification Roles section in Xitoring. Select your desired notification role, enable PagerDuty, and provide the generated Integration Key. We recommend using the “Send a test notification” function to ensure that the integration is working properly.

Stay tuned for more exciting updates and integrations from Xitoring! We are constantly working to improve our platform and provide you with the best monitoring and incident management experience.

Hello,

We are happy to announce our latest feature: “Webhook for Incidents”

Notification channels on Xitoring let you receive Incidents and Alerts about your servers and websites instantly. we are constantly working to add more Integrations to Notification Channels including Google Chat, Mattermost, and more.

we’ll go over how to set up webhook integration in Xitoring and give an example of what Xitoring will post to your webhook URL.

Creating a Webhook URL

To get started, you need to create a webhook URL in your server or application. This is the URL where Xitoring will send the webhook notifications. It’s essential to make sure the URL is publicly accessible and can receive HTTP POST requests.

Configuring Webhook in Xitoring

Once you have a webhook URL, log in to your Xitoring account and go to the Notification Roles page. From there, you can create a new notification role or add a webhook to an existing role. Then, enter your webhook URL in the field provided and click on “Send a Test Notification” to verify that everything is set up correctly.

Hello,

Heartbeat monitoring is finally here!

At Xitoring, we know how important it is to ensure that your services and applications are running smoothly. That’s why we’re excited to introduce our latest feature: the Heartbeat Check.

So, what is a Heartbeat Check? Simply put, it’s a signal sent by your service or application at regular intervals to Xitoring. Our system then checks whether it has received the heartbeat within a certain time frame. If it hasn’t, we assume that the service or application is not responding correctly and triggering an incident.

Setting up a Heartbeat Check is easy. Just select a label like you would for any other check, configure the proper trigger and notification roles, and set the fault tolerance (the maximum interval between heartbeats) to your desired time frame. After creating the check, you’ll receive a unique link that you can use to define your heartbeat. Adding a simple GET request to your script or code can ensure that your service or application is running smoothly.

Using a Heartbeat Check is also a great way to perform an overall availability check for your Linux machine. By adding the GET request command to your crontab, you can ensure that your machine is up and running every minute.

Heartbeat monitoring use cases:

Don’t let service disruptions catch you off guard. With Xitoring’s Heartbeat Check, you can rest easy knowing that your services and applications are always being monitored. Try it out today and see the difference it can make!

You can read more about heartbeat monitoring, and some code snippets of Bash script and Python on our docs.
