Can Discourse Webhooks be used for reporting uptime to a 3rd party service e.g. hund.io ? if so, How?

[image] pfaffman: returns a 500 error I tried it just now and got the “Congratulations” setup page.

But if you reload a few times, you’ll stop getting that. At least, that’s my experience.

/srv/status is meant for measuring uptime only and not whether the server is returning the right response.

I guess that depends on how you define “uptime”…

In a Layman’s term, Service is Properly functioning! e.g. if there is a 500 error then it should return something other than ok! @pfaffman I can confirm that behaviour. My system runs behind a Nginx reverse proxy and I Get okay no matter what!

Hi! I tried to use Uptime Kuma pointing /srv/status but it tells me “Connection Refused”. I’m using Uptime Kuma in a container, as well as Discourse. Also, for both I’m using traefik for reverse proxy. Uptime Kuma with other website works very well, but I can’t reach the Discourse app. Can you te…

is uptime kuma hosted on the same machine as discourse? EDIT: [image] FrancescoM: I’m using also a docker network “proxy_network” for Traefik. I believe this is your problem.

Hi, yes, the server is the same. But with other websites works perfectly, the only problem is with Discourse. Maybe an internal DNS resolver?

I tried but it shows me the same error.

I also set up a new monitor for a different website inside the same server, and it works perfectly.

Maybe something to set on Discourse?

Thanks again for your help
