[Question] Monitoring tool for Windows that doesn't user Docker and notifies through Telegram (lemmy.ml)

submitted 1 year ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

9 comments fedilink hide all child comments

I am looking to monitor *arr services that can send notifications to Telegram. Are there any web service monitoring solutions that can be installed on Windows and not installed using Docker?

I checked through awesome-selfhosted and awesome-sysadmin repos and couldn't find one. All the ones I saw were either for Linux or container based.

Right, I am looking for a solution that can alert me, if/when any of the self hosted web services goes down. Pretty much check if either the port or webpage is up and send alerts.

I saw Prometheus supports Windows. But, I think its kind of overkill for my use case. I have everything running on an old laptop. So, I am looking for a lightweight application/solution

You'll have to write some kind of script that does the checking (I'd use curl to check the HTTP response code), healthchecks.io then handles the notifications.

Edit: Just an example of how such a script might look (haven't tested it, but I do something similar in linux). You can let the task scheduler run it every few minutes: https://pastebin.com/rY0FPpgk

Thank you for the script. I will look in to this.
