Send Webhook after Offsite Backup

I got interested in using BetterStack after seeing that’s what you guys use for uptime and incident monitoring - looks cool!

What I’d like is to use BetterStack to alert if a backup is missed. I think this would require a web hook to be expected in Betterstack as part of the configuration of a ‘Heartbeat’.

Would it be possible to get OttoFMS to send a Webhook after completing an offsite Backup?

Any other useful info you might have on leveraging BetterStack to monitor Filemaker services would be great - I’m currently monitoring WebD and oData uptime, but would love to add in some more metrics.

Cheers!

Hey @JamesG ,

The ability to send Slack or webhook notifications for failed offsite backups will be in the next version of OttoFMS.

Thanks for the request!

Thanks Kyle - notifications for failures would be great, but to be 100% clear - I’m also after notifications on succesfull backups - it’s the ABSENCE of these being received that will trigger the most reliable alerts that a backup (or other process) has failed.

Ah ok good to know James. I can adjust that feature to include notifications on success. Thanks for the feedback!
