Website & API Health Monitoring System with HTTP Status Validation

Website & API Health Monitoring System with HTTP Status Validation

How it works

• Performs HTTP health checks on websites and APIs with automatic health status validation
• Checks HTTP status codes and analyzes JSON responses for common health indicators
• Returns detailed status information including response times and health status
• Implements conditional logic to handle different response scenarios
• Perfect for monitoring dashboards, alerts, and automated health checks

Set up steps

• Deploy the workflow and activate it
• Get the webhook URL from the trigger node
• Configure your monitoring system to call the webhook endpoint
• Send POST requests with target URLs for health monitoring
• Receive JSON responses with health status, HTTP codes, and timestamps

Usage

• Send POST requests to the webhook URL with target URL parameter
• Optionally configure timeout and status expectations in request body
• Receive JSON responses with health status, HTTP codes, and timestamps
• Perfect for monitoring dashboards, alerts, and automated health checks
• Use with external monitoring tools like Nagios, Zabbix, or custom dashboards
• Set up scheduled monitoring calls for continuous health validation
• Example request: Send POST with {"url": "https://your-site.com", "timeoutMs": 5000}
• Success response returns: {"ok": true, "statusCode": 200, "healthStatus": "ok"}
• Failure response returns: {"ok": false, "error": "Health check failed", "statusCode": 503}

Benefits

• Proactive monitoring to identify issues before they impact users
• Detailed diagnostics with comprehensive health data for troubleshooting
• Integration ready - works with existing monitoring and alerting systems
• Customizable timeout settings, expected status codes, and health indicators
• Scalable solution to monitor multiple services with single workflow endpoint

Use Cases

• E-commerce platforms: Monitor payment APIs, inventory systems, user authentication
• Microservices: Health validation for distributed service architectures
• API gateways: Endpoint monitoring with response time validation
• Database connections: Track connectivity and performance metrics
• Third-party integrations: Monitor external API dependencies and SLA compliance

Target Audience

• DevOps Engineers implementing production monitoring
• System Administrators managing server uptime
• Site Reliability Engineers building monitoring systems
• Development Teams tracking API health in staging/production
• IT Support Teams for proactive issue detection
