Configure reports and notifications for availability check results

Last update:

You can:

  • configure notifications for a specific check. Notifications can be received via email, phone, or HTTP requests. You can select the desired event—the check result that triggers a notification—and specify the notification frequency;
  • configure a summary weekly report for all checks over the week. The report is sent via email every Monday and contains information about all checks performed over the last seven days.

You can also track the current status of checks on the public statistics page.

Add contact

You can receive availability check notifications via email, as SMS to your phone, or via HTTP requests. Email and HTTP notifications are free; for SMS notifications, you need to purchase an SMS package.

Email can also be used to receive the weekly report.

  1. In the Control panel, on the top menu, click Products and select Availability check.

  2. Go to the Reports and notifications section → the Contacts tab.

  3. Click Add contact.

  4. Enter a contact name; it will only be displayed in the control panel.

  5. Select the contact type — Email.

  6. Enter the email address.

  7. Optional: to receive notifications only at a specific time, check the Limit delivery time checkbox and specify the delivery time in the required time zone.

  8. Click Add.

  9. An email with a confirmation link will be sent to the specified address. To confirm the email address, open the link from the email in any browser.

Configure notifications for a check

  1. Make sure you have added contacts for which you want to configure notifications. You can view the list of added contacts in the control panel: on the top menu, click ProductsAvailability CheckReports and notifications.

  2. In the control panel, on the top menu, click Products and select Availability Check.

  3. Open the Checks tab.

  4. Open the check page → Notifications tab.

  5. Select the contacts to which notifications should be sent. All notifications for the check will be sent to all selected contacts.

  6. Click New notification.

  7. Configure the notification settings:

    7.1. Select which event—the check request result—you want to monitor.

    7.2. Select when to be informed about the event (send a notification)—immediately or after several consecutive requests that return the same event.

    7.3. Select the notification frequency, for example, no more than one notification per minute.

  8. If you do not want to receive notifications when a check result changes to successful, clear the Notify on recovery checkbox. Recovery notifications are not sent at the moment of recovery, but with the notification frequency you specified in step 7. For example, if the server recovered after a minute, but the notification frequency is set to once per hour, the recovery notification will be sent an hour after the failure notification.

  9. Click .

If you selected contacts with a phone number in step 5, make sure you have an SMS package: on the top menu, click ProductsAvailability CheckReports and notifications → view the number of remaining SMS messages in the top right corner.
