Question: Can PM2 send notifications or launch an arbitrary script when a process dies?

[cosmicscr]

Hi, I've been googling around, looking through pm2 docs, and looking through github issues but can't seem to find an answer to this question:

Is there a way for pm2 to launch an arbitrary script when a process that it is monitoring crashes? I understand that pm2 can automatically restart the process, but can it also launch a script?

The purpose is for notifications. When a process dies in production, what is the best practice way of sending alerts or notifications using pm2?

Thanks for any advice!

Two solutions :

• use https://keymetrics.io
• or make a module that listen event from the bus and then do whatever you want.

Just to clarify, it appears the free tier of keymetrics does not support any notifications, so it requires a minimum of $360/yr to use keymetrics to add notifications.
