You can select an event when checking a metric and configure notifications to be sent — if the event is met or not met, you will receive a notification.With this, you can identify problem areas during your audits.

Add a contact⁠

You can receive notifications to email or phone, or via HTTP requests.Notifications to email and HTTP can be received free of charge, for notifications via SMS you need to buy an SMS package.

Create a php file, such as log.php, in the directory with your site.
Add some code to the script to test it:

Example script⁠

This script sends a message to Telegram if a new entry appears in the monitoring message log.

Start a dialog with the bot from your account and get a list of updates for your bot:
```
https://api.telegram.org/bot<token>/getUpdates
```
Specify <token> — the token for accessing your bot via API, which you received when creating the bot.
Get the chat ID — copy the value of the chat_id parameter.
Create a log.php file.

Add the following script to the file:

<?php
$file_get = $_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"] . "/modules/log/get.log";
if (!empty($_GET)) {
    $fw = fopen($file_get, "a");
    fwrite($fw, "GET " . var_export($_GET, true));
    fclose($fw);
    $ch = curl_init();
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,
"https://api.telegram.org/bot<token>/sendMessage?chat_id=<chat_id>&text='Новая запись в файле мониторинга: <url>'");
    $result=curl_exec($ch);
    curl_close($ch);
    }
?>

Specify:

<chat-id> — The chat ID or username of the user to whom you want to send a message;
<token> — Telegram bot key (token) of the form 864190220:AAGY3To77NuySjaGmupS7PfEQy952V08QOA;
<url> — link to a file of the form http://test-http-get.ru/modules/log/get.log.

Create a log directory in the root directory of your site.
In the directory, create a file named get.log where the log of GET requests will be saved.
In the same directory, place the log.php file created in step 3.
