Uptime monitor in Node.js that posts status changes to Slack

npm install techstar-uptime --save

Create the websites.js file and specify some services we wish to monitor.

module.exports = [
  {
    url: 'https://www.google.com', // URL of service we'll be pining
    timeout: 200 // threshold in milliseconds above which is considered degraded performance
  },{
    url: 'https://www.github.com',
    timeout: 200 
  },
]

const website = require('./websites'),
      Uptime  = require('techstar-uptime');
      
const uptime = new Uptime({
  SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL: 'SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL'
});
uptime.monitor(website);

app.use('/uptime', uptime);

Head on over to the Incoming WebHooks Slack app. If you're signed in to your Slack Workspace you should see an Add Configuration button. Hit it!

Select or create a new channel then hit the Add Incoming WebHooks integration

Grab the WebHook URL and paste it into the SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL, which would look like so: SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL=https://hooks.slack.com/services/XXXXXX/YYYYYY/XXXXXXXXXXXX

You can update websites.js with the services you wish to monitor and throw the code up on a server.
