Problem: we don't know in time when something goes wrong

[plexus]

There are two things that we should have alarms on

• the slack logging has stopped
• the site is down

I have two simple solutions for this which will get the job done without too much of ops work.

To track if the site is down or not we can use https://uptimerobot.com/ which pings the site every 5 minutes and send an email alert if the site is down.

To track if slack import is working as expected, we can use something like https://healthchecks.io/ (or librato if we're already using it).

I actually use uptimerobot for lambda island, yes would be great if we could set that up here as well. The bigger issue is the slack imports, this has happened a couple times in the past. Having a check for instance that the latest message on the #clojure channel is less than a day old would be great. Or having email notifications when certain jobs error.

Temporarily I have setup uptime robot to check https://clojurians-log.clojureverse.org/ every 15 minutes and alert me if it goes down.
