Mark this app as Unstable

Do we need to find a better alternative?

[p44]

@robi Maybe yes, but one of most interesting feature of Statping is to connect to Twilio and have an SMS notification. I think this is a good way to get notified not only on email but also on mobile.

Specially in case of total server failover, where also Cloudron cannot send email notifications.

[robi]

@p44 for that use case you use an external service and if there is no twillio integration, you webhook to an app that does like slack or discord.

At that point SMS is a bit redundant if you get the webhook notifications for free.

I'll look into the configuration issue no doubt in the coming week or two @girish and @robi.

[p44]

@robi Thank's Robi, What if You don't have internet connection to check slack? ?

[robi]

@p44 Then your phone isn't useful to you, is it?

[p44]

@robi

[robi]

@p44 besides, Slack is down today

[robi]

@p44 Take a look at https://github.com/cstate/cstate

Netlify has an awesome infrastructure and it's free to use for something like this.

[p44]

@robi That's why I think should have more channels to get notified...

[robi]

@p44 Let me know when you figure out how well that works for you.

I have previous experience where there is too much of such a thing and it wasn't intelligently tiered, as in when one form of notification fails, it escalates to the next, until one works.

[mario]

We've done some exploration and it seems the issues with configuration precedence and so has been fixed in the development version, so I assume it'll be all fixed in the next stable release.

Sure Robi I will!

[p44]

@mario Thank's Mario! Hope future release will be more stable so we can use all features.

[mario]

So the app is actively developing, but community PRs and issues are not being answered - in the interest of transparency and continued development, we're probably forking the codebase.

[p44]

@mario so is there a chance to have a new product? (in addition to the existing one)

[p44]

@mario Any update?

[mario]

@p44 none, we're working on this but it's not a priority.

[p44]

@mario Thank's hope to get updates soon Have a good work!

@robi Hello @robi ! I find a solution and when something goes wrong, I'll receive one call and one sms.

I used:

• Integromat
• Twilio

Both with free plan

Script it was very simple: Http GET Request every 15 minutes my.domain.tld and if something goes wrong, create mobile call + create SMS.

So now if something happens and I'm away from office or off-line, only with GSM, I can have a call.

What do you think?
