Xitoring integrated with Telegram

Receive incidents on your Telegram!

Hello,

Xitoring is excited to announce its integration with Telegram, a globally used, cross-platform, cloud-based instant messaging service. With Telegram integration, Xitoring users can receive real-time notifications and alerts about their website and server status on Telegram, making incident management more efficient and effective.

How to receive incidents on your Telegram

Complete guidance on setting up Telegram integration can be found in our documents.

Setting up the Telegram integration with Xitoring is a straightforward process that involves a few easy steps. The first step is to create a Telegram channel, whether it’s public or private. Once you’ve created the channel, add Xitoring_bot as an administrator to the channel with at least Post message permission. After that, you can proceed to the next step.

 

To enable Telegram notifications in Xitoring, you need to get your notification role settings in order. The notification role defines what events will trigger notifications and which users or groups will receive them. You can create a new notification role or edit an existing one. Once you have selected the notification role, you can configure the notification settings to include Telegram as a notification method.

To configure Telegram as a notification method, you need to enter your Telegram channel ID in the appropriate field. Obtaining the channel ID can be a bit tricky, but our step-by-step guide will show you how to do it.

Once you have your channel ID, enter it in the notification role you are configuring. After that, all incidents and notifications will be sent to your Telegram as configured. You can click on the “Send a Test Notification” button in the notification role to check if you have set up everything correctly.

With the Telegram integration, Xitoring users can get their notifications and incidents in Telegram, which is one of the most used messaging apps in the world right now. Telegram integration enables users to receive notifications in real time, helping them stay on top of their incidents and keep their systems running smoothly.

Kesimpulan

Xitoring’s integration with Telegram is a powerful new feature that enables users to receive real-time notifications and alerts about their website and server status. With our step-by-step guide, setting up the integration is straightforward, and Xitoring users can benefit from improved incident management. We hope our users will take advantage of this new feature and enjoy the convenience of receiving notifications in Telegram.

Xitoring introduces heartbeat monitoring

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:

In addition to providing overall availability checks for your Linux machine, Xitoring’s Heartbeat Check has a variety of use cases to ensure that your services and applications are running smoothly.

  • One use case is ensuring that your backup script is running. By adding a GET request to your backup script, Xitoring can monitor its activity and ensure it’s working properly.
  • Another use case is ensuring that your cronjobs are running. By adding a GET request to your crontab, Xitoring can ensure that your scheduled tasks are being executed on time.
  • Xitoring’s Heartbeat Check can also monitor your application queue, ensuring that it’s working as expected. By adding a GET request to your queue processing script, Xitoring can alert you if any issues arise with your queue.
  • For Laravel users, Xitoring offers Laravel queue heartbeat monitoring. This feature allows you to monitor the health of your Laravel queue worker and ensure that it’s processing your jobs as expected.

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.

What is uptime monitoring and why is it important?

What is uptime monitoring?

Uptime monitoring is the practice of regularly checking the availability and performance of a website, server, or application to ensure that it is accessible to users and performing as expected. This is typically done using automated tools that perform checks at set intervals, such as every minute or every five minutes. The purpose of uptime monitoring is to minimize downtime, improve website performance, ensure compliance, enhance security, and support business continuity.

No more unnecessary investigations, Scheduled maintenances is here!

Hello,

We are thrilled to announce the new feature on Xitoring, that lets you create “Maintenance Schedules” for your uptime checks and servers in order to avoid false positive alerts or inaccurate reporting of downtime during a maintenance window. The feature is available for free and paid users without any limitations. Selected monitoring Checks or Servers will be paused during the maintenance window, also the status will be reflected on your Public Status Page automatically to inform your users.

 

 

Is it necessary to pause monitoring during maintenance?

It depends on the type of maintenance being performed and the specific requirements of the organization. In some cases, it may be necessary to pause uptime monitoring during maintenance to avoid false positives or inaccurate reporting of downtime.

For example, if the maintenance activity involves taking the system or service offline or making changes to critical components, uptime monitoring may need to be paused until the maintenance is completed. Otherwise, the monitoring system may generate false alerts or report false downtime, which could lead to confusion and unnecessary investigations.

On the other hand, if the maintenance activity is not expected to impact the uptime of the system or service, uptime monitoring may not need to be paused. In fact, continuing to monitor uptime during maintenance can help identify any unexpected issues that may arise during the maintenance activity.

Ultimately, the decision to pause uptime monitoring during maintenance should be based on an assessment of the potential impact of the maintenance on system uptime, as well as the specific requirements and objectives of the organization. It is important to communicate any changes in monitoring to relevant stakeholders to ensure clear expectations are set.

 

If you need help creating your first maintenance you can read more on Docs or contact [email protected] anytime!

Thanks.

How a public status page help your business?

What’s a public status page?

A public status page often offers a summary of the service’s current status, including information such as whether the service is currently up or down, as well as any known faults or events. A timeline of recent events, such as when an issue was originally reported, when it was resolved, and what efforts were made to remedy it, may also be included. Some public status pages also offer information about other connected services and their current state, as well as contact information for the company’s support team. Some service providers host their status pages with third-party solutions, allowing them to integrate the status page into their own website and deliver real-time updates, notifications, and historical data to their clients.
