Question

How to setup SMS notifications for when site is down?

Posted June 8, 2020 651 views

Our site went down and we did not know until a user contacted us. How can we setup SMS notifications similar to what AWS has? It will send an SMS message if the site is down for more than 5 min. Thank you

Hey @support1Angler,

There are a couple of simple ways I can think of, that can help you with this one:

Basically how it would work is to create a cron job to check the website’s HTTP status code every once and a while. If it is different than 200(OK) -> you get notified by a push notification / message.

I hope this helps and feel free to keep me posted if this was able to solve your issue!

Best regards,

Thank you for your response, yes it is helpful and we will look into it. But I’m still not able to receive SMS notifications. How come DigitalOcean does not provide a reliable SMS notification service as a part of their package. They can charge for it if they want to.
