Uptime-monitor-sdk NPM

Uptime Monitor JS SDK

This SDK is used on the client side to repeatedly ping the Uptime Monitor server. When the client side terminates / crashes and the server stops receiving pings, alerts will be pushed via Pushover and/or Discord.

Usage

npm i uptime-monitor-sdk

To maintain a session

import { UptimeMonitor, type UptimeConfig } from "uptime-monitor-sdk";

const uptimeConfig: UptimeConfig = {
  host: new URL("https://uptime.example.com"),
  serviceName: 'Example',
  secondsBetweenHeartbeat: 60, // expected heartbeat. if we miss a heartbeat over 60 seconds, an alert is pushed
  secondsBetweenAlerts: 180, // every 3 minutes
  maxAlertsPerDownTime: 10, // maximum number of times you want to be alerted
  pushoverToken: "", // obtain from pushover (optional)
  pushoverGroup: "", // obtain from pushover (optional)
  discordWebhook: "" // obtain from discord (optional)
} // note: you can use either Pushover or Discord or both

UptimeMonitor(uptimeConfig).init() // notice the `init()`!

To terminate a session

// like the above code but we call terminate instead of init()
UptimeMonitor(uptimeConfig).terminate()

// for convenient, init() method returns an instance of the UptimeMonitor
const uptime = UptimeMonitor(uptimeConfig)

// some other code

uptime.terminate()

Full Example

import { UptimeMonitor } from "uptime-monitor-sdk";

function sleep(ms: number): Promise<void> {
  return new Promise((resolve) => setTimeout(resolve, ms));
}

const uptimeConfig: UptimeConfig = {
  host: new URL("https://uptime.example.com"),
  serviceName: 'Example',
  secondsBetweenHeartbeat: 60, // expected heartbeat. if we miss a heartbeat over 60 seconds, an alert is pushed
  secondsBetweenAlerts: 180, // every 3 minutes
  maxAlertsPerDownTime: 10, // maximum number of times you want to be alerted
  pushoverToken: "", // obtain from pushover (optional)
  pushoverGroup: "", // obtain from pushover (optional)
  discordWebhook: "" // obtain from discord (optional)
} // note: you can use either Pushover or Discord or both

const uptime = UptimeMonitor(uptimeConfig).init()

async function main(fn) {
  while (true) {
    console.log("Still alive....")
    const rand = Math.floor(Math.random() * 1000);

    if (rand > 900) break;

    await sleep(10 * 1000)
  }

  fn()
}

main(() => uptime.terminate())
