Advanced Monitoring Techniques

Take your monitoring to the next level with these advanced techniques and configurations.

Custom Health Checks

OpskiTTy supports various types of health checks beyond simple HTTP requests:

DNS Monitoring

Monitor your DNS resolution times and ensure your domains are resolving correctly.

endpoints:
  - name: dns-check
    url: "8.8.8.8"
    dns:
      query-name: "example.com"
      query-type: "A"
    conditions:
      - "[DNS_RCODE] == NOERROR"
      - "[RESPONSE_TIME] < 100"

TCP Port Monitoring

Check if specific ports are open and responding:

endpoints:
  - name: database-port
    url: "tcp://db.example.com:5432"
    conditions:
      - "[CONNECTED] == true"
      - "[RESPONSE_TIME] < 1000"

Custom Conditions

Create sophisticated monitoring conditions using OpskiTTy's powerful condition engine:

• Response Time: [RESPONSE_TIME] < 500
• Status Codes: [STATUS] IN (200, 201, 202)
• Body Content: [BODY] contains "healthy"
• Headers: [HEADERS.Content-Type] == "application/json"

Multi-Region Monitoring

Monitor your services from multiple geographic locations to ensure global availability and performance.

Best Practices

1. Set Appropriate Intervals: Balance monitoring frequency with resource usage
2. Use Meaningful Names: Make your endpoint names descriptive
3. Group Related Services: Organize endpoints into logical groups
4. Configure Escalation: Set up multiple notification channels
5. Monitor Dependencies: Include database and external service checks
