New type of service check (healthchecks)

[hunterlong]

Hey @douglasmiranda , sorry i missed this issue/feature. There's actually something called CheckIn inside the Statup code, it's not used yet... but the idea is for a service be able to curl to the Statup server and receive a "i'm online" status.

I'll let you know when this feature is actually functioning.

[hunterlong]

Just an update, this feature is almost complete. Checkin's for Statup based on your application sending a HTTP request to a specific URL at a specific interval. It will create failures and/or notifications when a service/checkin hasn't send a request after the Grace period. Almost done!!

[hunterlong]

There are Checkins for Statping. You basically setup a routine cronjob to send a curl GET to the Checkin URL and if the curl request wasn't hit in x amount of seconds, then it creates a failure.

I still need to add some tests to this though. But it is there. I'm going to prioritize this.

Nice!! xD

AWESOME!! xD

This will be great for backup tasks and background tasks in general.

Hi @hunterlong, is there a wiki entry / some documentation on how to setup a checkin (e.g. finding out the URL to be called, what capabilities are exposed like regex http request support, etc.)

[hunterlong]

You can setup a checkin on the form on bottom of page while viewing a service. This feature isn’t 100% yet. Still working on the notification part if a service hasn’t checked in in X amount of seconds, past expected time.

@hunterlong hey there, what's the status on this? only thing holding me back from statping!

[SloCompTech]

I agree with @gp-Airee, any news ? For healtcheck I would now have to use https://healthchecks.io/

Hi @hunterlong sorry for the big pressure on this feature but it would be great to see it in statping!. I saw that is half implemented. The only issue I experienced is that checkins do not change the online/offline status. I've tried to make a service to look at 127.0.0.1:8080 (statping interface) due I don't have a service to watch on and receive the checkins from a cron service but it never changes from online. On the other hand if I attach the "service" to watch some non existing service and send all the checkins but it never becomes Online.

Any news about this feature?
