Alerting
WebWatchBot's Alerting capabilities ensure that you are notified at the first sign of a problem.
Use one or all of the following alerting methods.
- Each Watch Item can be configured for email alerts which are configured through Watch Item properties.
- One or more email addresses can be specified to receive the alert plus predefined reports such as the "Failure Report" which provides detail on all failures.
SMS
Send a short message to your smartphone or cellphone.Short enough to not overload you with too much information, just long enough to get your attention.
* SMS Gateway required. US carriers provide gateway free of charge. Check with your provider for details.
Program or Command
Execute a command .exe or launch a new url. For example, restart IIS with iisreset.exe or launch a URL that kicks off your custom notification service.Escalation rules
Escalation rules determine the actions to take depending on the number of consecutive failures or successes of an object being monitored.- Increase or decrease the frequency of monitoring to prevent false positives or avoid flooding an overloaded server with additional requests.
- WebWatchBot allows the configuration of seperate actions when an alarm is triggered and reset.
