<h1>HTTP API</h1>
<p>The SITE_NAME pinging API is used for submitting success, failure and job start
signals from the monitored systems.</p>
<h2>General Notes</h2>
<p>All ping endpoints support:</p>
<ul>
<li>HTTP and HTTPS</li>
<li>HTTP 1.0, HTTP 1.1 and HTTP 2</li>
<li>IPv4 and IPv6</li>
<li>HEAD, GET and POST requests methods. The HTTP POST requests
can optionally include diagnostic information in the request body.
If the request body looks like a UTF-8 string, SITE_NAME stores the request body
(limited to first 10KB for each received ping).</li>
</ul>
<p>Successful responses will have the "200 OK" HTTP response status code and a short
and simple string "OK" in the response body.</p>
<h2>Signal Success ("ping")</h2>
<div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>HEAD|GET|POST PING_ENDPOINT{uuid}
</pre></div>
<p>Signals to SITE_NAME that the job has completed successfully (or, for
continuously running processes, is still running and healthy). The <code>uuid</code> parameter
is unique for each check.</p>
<p><strong>Example</strong></p>
<div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="nf">GET</span> <span class="nn">/5bf66975-d4c7-4bf5-bcc8-b8d8a82ea278</span> <span class="kr">HTTP</span><span class="o">/</span><span class="m">1.0</span>
<span class="na">Host</span><span class="o">:</span> <span class="l">hc-ping.com</span>
</pre></div>
<div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="kr">HTTP</span><span class="o">/</span><span class="m">1.1</span> <span class="m">200</span> <span class="ne">OK</span>
<span class="na">Server</span><span class="o">:</span> <span class="l">nginx</span>
<span class="na">Date</span><span class="o">:</span> <span class="l">Wed, 29 Jan 2020 09:58:23 GMT</span>
<span class="na">Content-Type</span><span class="o">:</span> <span class="l">text/plain; charset=utf-8</span>
<span class="na">Content-Length</span><span class="o">:</span> <span class="l">2</span>
<span class="na">Connection</span><span class="o">:</span> <span class="l">close</span>
<span class="na">Access-Control-Allow-Origin</span><span class="o">:</span> <span class="l">*</span>
OK
</pre></div>
<h2>Signal Failure</h2>
<div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>HEAD|GET|POST PING_ENDPOINT{uuid}/fail
</pre></div>
<p>Signals to SITE_NAME that the job has failed. Actively signalling a failure
minimizes the delay from your monitored service failing to you receiving an alert.</p>
<p><strong>Example</strong></p>
<div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="nf">GET</span> <span class="nn">/5bf66975-d4c7-4bf5-bcc8-b8d8a82ea278/fail</span> <span class="kr">HTTP</span><span class="o">/</span><span class="m">1.0</span>
<span class="na">Host</span><span class="o">:</span> <span class="l">hc-ping.com</span>
</pre></div>
<div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="kr">HTTP</span><span class="o">/</span><span class="m">1.1</span> <span class="m">200</span> <span class="ne">OK</span>
<span class="na">Server</span><span class="o">:</span> <span class="l">nginx</span>
<span class="na">Date</span><span class="o">:</span> <span class="l">Wed, 29 Jan 2020 09:58:23 GMT</span>
<span class="na">Content-Type</span><span class="o">:</span> <span class="l">text/plain; charset=utf-8</span>
<span class="na">Content-Length</span><span class="o">:</span> <span class="l">2</span>
<span class="na">Connection</span><span class="o">:</span> <span class="l">close</span>
<span class="na">Access-Control-Allow-Origin</span><span class="o">:</span> <span class="l">*</span>
OK
</pre></div>
<h2>Signal a Start</h2>
<div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>HEAD|GET|POST PING_ENDPOINT{uuid}/start
</pre></div>
<p>Sends a "job has started!" message to SITE_NAME. This is
optional but enables a few extra features:</p>
<ul>
<li>SITE_NAME will measure and display job execution times</li>
<li>SITE_NAME will detect if the job runs longer than its configured grace time</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Example</strong></p>
<div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="nf">GET</span> <span class="nn">/5bf66975-d4c7-4bf5-bcc8-b8d8a82ea278/start</span> <span class="kr">HTTP</span><span class="o">/</span><span class="m">1.0</span>
