Healthchecks

Healthchecks is a monitoring service for cron jobs, background services, and scheduled tasks. You can use it to keep track of when your jobs run and to notify you when they don't.

The Naas Drivers library allows you to integrate Healthchecks into your Python projects with ease.

Prerequisites​

For Naas.ai cloud users, this service is already set up. For others, you need to set HC_API as an environment variable. You should connect to the following Docker machine:

Sending Statuses​

Healthchecks allows you to send different statuses including start, done, and fail.

Start​

This represents the beginning of a job.

key = "123456-123456-12455"
naas_drivers.healthcheck.connect(key).send("start")

Done​

This indicates the successful completion of a job.

key = "123456-123456-12455"
naas_drivers.healthcheck.connect(key).send()

Fail​

This denotes a job failure.

key = "123456-123456-12455"
naas_drivers.healthcheck.connect(key).send("fail")

Checking URL​

You can use Healthchecks to monitor the availability of a URL.

url = "https://google.com"
key = "123456-123456-12455"
naas_drivers.health_check.connect(key).check_up(url)

Persistent Connection​

You can establish a persistent connection to avoid connecting repeatedly for each method.

key = "123456-123456-12455"
healthcheck = naas_drivers.healthcheck.connect(key)
healthcheck.send()

The Naas Drivers Healthchecks integration provides an easy way to monitor your cron jobs, background services, and scheduled tasks directly from your Python environment.
