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?

Vous devriez vraiment l’installer sur un serveur différent de celui de Discourse, au minimum ne pas utiliser le pont Docker pour Uptime Kuma ou retirer Discourse du pont.
