Uptime Monitor - Website Availability Monitoring

Monitor website uptime, check response times, and verify service availability.

Workflow

Step 1: Check Website Status

Verify site is accessible:

orth api run linkup /fetch --body '{"url": "https://yoursite.com"}'

Step 2: Verify Page Content

Ensure page loads correctly:

orth api run scrapegraph /api/extract --body '{
  "url": "https://yoursite.com",
  "prompt": "Check if page loads and contains expected content. Report any error messages."
}'

Step 3: Test API Health

Check API endpoints:

orth api run linkup /fetch --body '{"url": "https://api.yoursite.com/health"}'

Step 4: Check Multiple Endpoints

Monitor critical paths:

orth api run olostep /v1/batches --body '{
  "urls": [
    "https://yoursite.com",
    "https://yoursite.com/login",
    "https://api.yoursite.com/health",
    "https://yoursite.com/dashboard"
  ]
}'

Step 5: Research Status Page

Check official status:

orth api run scrapegraph /api/extract --body '{
  "url": "https://status.yoursite.com",
  "prompt": "Extract current service status, any incidents, and affected components"
}'

Step 6: Send Alert (if down)

Use SMS for critical alerts:

orth api run textbelt /text --body '{
  "phone": "[phone]",
  "message": "ALERT: yoursite.com is down! Check immediately."
}'

Step 7: Schedule Recurring Monitoring (optional)

For continuous, hands-off monitoring, register a scheduled scrape that runs on a cron interval and notifies a webhook on each run:

orth api run scrapegraph /api/monitor --body '{
  "url": "https://yoursite.com",
  "name": "yoursite-uptime",
  "interval": "*/5 * * * *",
  "formats": [{"type": "markdown"}],
  "webhookUrl": "https://hooks.yoursite.com/uptime"
}'

Monitoring Script

SITES=("https://example.com" "https://api.example.com/health")

for site in "${SITES[@]}"; do
  echo "Checking: $site"
  orth api run linkup /fetch --body "{\"url\": \"$site\"}"
done

Example Usage

# Quick status check
orth api run linkup /fetch --body '{"url": "https://stripe.com"}'

# Check status page
orth api run scrapegraph /api/extract --body '{
  "url": "https://status.github.com",
  "prompt": "What is the current status of GitHub services?"
}'

# Monitor competitor uptime
orth api run linkup /fetch --body '{"url": "https://competitor.com"}'
