<h3>Checks and pinging</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Each check you create in <a href="{% url 'hc-checks' %}">My Checks</a>
|
|
page has an unique "ping" URL. Whenever you access this URL,
|
|
the "Last Ping" value of corresponding check is updated.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>When a certain amount of time passes since last received ping, the
|
|
check is considered "late", and Health Checks sends an email notification.
|
|
It is all very simple, really.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<h3>Executing a ping</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
At the end of your batch job, add a bit of code to ping
|
|
one of your checks.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>HTTP and HTTPS protocols both are fine</li>
|
|
<li>Request method can be GET or POST</li>
|
|
<li>It does not matter what request headers you send</li>
|
|
<li>You can leave request body empty or put anything in it, it's all good</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>The response will have status code "200 OK" and response body will be a
|
|
short and simple string "OK".</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
In bash scripts, you can use <code>wget</code> or <code>curl</code> to run the requests:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<pre>
|
|
wget https://healthchecks.io/ping/b2012751-c542-4deb-b054-ff51322102b9/
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
<h3>When notifications are sent</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Each check has a configurable "Frequency" parameter, with default value of <strong>one day</strong>.
|
|
When time since last ping exceeds the configured amount, the check is considered late.
|
|
When a check is <strong>1 hour late</strong>, Health Checks sends you an email notification.
