In today's digital age, websites, and web applications have become an integral part of businesses and organizations worldwide. These platforms require continuous monitoring to ensure their smooth functioning and uptime.
MonSpark is a web application monitoring product that helps users monitor their website's uptime, functionality, and content changes.
In this article, we will discuss MonSpark's latest feature, the Heartbeat Monitor, which provides a customizable and comprehensive way to monitor the health of websites and web applications.
Heartbeat Monitor is used to check if a cronjob is running regularly.
After creating a heartbeat monitor, MonSpark provides a unique URL to the user, and the user's cronjob sends requests to this specific URL. If it misses a beat (or is known as a request), MonSpark will create an alert about it.
Users can also choose to get notifications if the cronjob send requests out of it’s schedule.
With MonSpark's Cronjob/Heartbeat Monitor, users can create customized rules based on the request data using JSON paths. For instance, if the "cpu_usage" property is a numeric value and the it’s expected to be less than 80, MonSpark will flag this monitor as an anomaly (or down based on the rule configuration) and generate an alarm accordingly if the cpu_usage property is more than 80.
This adaptable feature makes MonSpark's Cronjob/Heartbeat Monitor a versatile solution for monitoring various aspects of applications, such as daily database backups, CPU usage, disk usage, and more.
The possibilities for configuring rules on number, string, or boolean fields are endless, limited only by the user's imagination.
