Hey guys,
I’ve been on Google and this forum for days now, and I think I am really far already, but I still have some questions regarding my setup.
I am using this tutorial: https://www.tompec.com/blog/automatically-reboot-server-when-its-down
I already succesfully installed the script on a seperate Droplet.
The questions I have:
-
Which URL do I insert in Uptime Robot to notify? I assume the URL of the droplet which has the script installed right? For example: https://api.digitalocean.com/v2/droplets/DIGITAL_OCEAN_DROPLET_ID/?
-
Which ID’s do I use in “config/servers.php”? // UptimeRobot monitor’s name => DigitalOcean server ID ‘Your-server-name’ => 12345678,
Your-Server-Name = Friendly Name of the UptimeRobot Monitor or the Friendly Name Uptime Robot Alert Contact?
DigitalOcean server ID = The Droplet ID of the droplet with the script running or the ID of the droplet which is actually down?
Hopefully you can point me in the right direction! :)

Hey Bobby,
Thanks for your follow up!
Do you maybe have suggestions for my last questions as well?
“DigitalOcean server ID = The Droplet ID of the droplet with the script running or the ID of the droplet which is actually down?”
Hello,
This seems like a nice script, I’ve not used it myself but I’ll definitely give it a try.
Regarding your questions:
- URL to notify
This needs to be the IP address or the hostname of the separate Droplet that you’ve created to run the script on
- Friendly name
I believe that this needs to be the friendly name of the monitor as this is one of the parameters that the webhook is going to pass over.
Hope that this helps! Regards, Bobby
