add devops monitoring #299

Closed juliangruber closed 7 years ago

juliangruber commented 8 years ago

I propose using https://apex.sh/ping/. It's built by TJ, has great features and a very focused interface, and will cost us 9-30$ a month, which isn't much at all. It also supports free public status pages, like for example http://status.apex.sh/.

The interface looks like this:

It has email and slack integrations for alerts and will send out weekly alerts.

Whoever spends money on this kind of thing can get reimbursed via the grant, either one time for a yearly subscription or every month. It would be a 'supplies & materials' reimbursement. We have about $3,000 of this part of the budget left.

Another advantage of ping style monitoring is that this stat is very important for SEO, but also gives us a good measure of the overall health of the system.

Set up apex ping for us: http://status.ping.apex.sh/174bde64-a407-4b2d-81e9-4fd8b04a3e0a

We can also add more services for checks, like the signalhubs! cc @mafintosh

It isn't properly reporting failure with a 504 timeout. It says 100% uptime even though dat.land has crashed with 504 a few times in the past week.

juliangruber commented 8 years ago

@karissa it has reported that, see

that's why i disabled the check for now, until we expect uptime.

Does that make sense? Should I enable it again?

ohh okay, no that's cool if its disabled for now
