App not responding - shouldn't there be a notification sent out about that?

[msbt]

One of my Nextcloud instances is using Hetzner Storagebox as primary storage and they just have a small outage, which means the app does not respond anymore - which is great and supposed to happen. But it would be nice if Cloudron sent out an email that the app is not working anymore so an admin can go and identify what's up, wasn't that the case many versions ago?

Yes this used to be the case many releases ago. We have removed the notification and mail sent out to reduce the noise. Generally I think it is better to have some uptime monitor app running on another server to take care of this.

@nebulon that's actually how I noticed it, I have an Uptime Kuma on a different box, but I'm not monitoring all my apps But if that's the case, I'll try to think of something. Is it maybe possible to have a read-only API token to fetch all installed apps of a Cloudron? Don't want to add a r/w/d token to an IFTTT tool

[nebulon]

@msbt we don't have read-only tokens as such, however you could use an api token from a non-privileged user, which would allow to list apps but not modify them.

@nebulon what role would that be? I have a regular user but that one only sees App Passwords but no API tokens

[nebulon]

@msbt you are right, there is no UI for this for normal users at the moment. The access token in the browser localstorage, used by the dashboard would probably the only way to get that. This has the drawback that if the user logs out from the dashboard, that token gets invalidated. So that is not really a solution and thus we will try to add some basic read-only token support in the next release.

@nebulon ah alright, thanks for the info and thanks for adding a read-only token. I'm going out on limb here and ask if it's possible to add the free disk space to the api so we could monitor that the same way, via grafana or something?

@msbt this would really be a separate feature request forum post, if you don't mind
