Workflow Description
Automated monitoring workflow that checks your Postgres database on a schedule, detects anomalies or critical conditions, and sends real-time SMS alerts through Twilio to ensure your team responds immediately to issues before they escalate.
How it works
- 1.Schedule periodic database checks using Cron at specified intervals
- 2.Connect to Postgres and execute a query to evaluate monitoring conditions
- 3.Process query results and determine which conditions warrant an alert
- 4.Send SMS notification via Twilio to team members when issues are detected
Use cases
- Alert when error count exceeds a threshold in application logs stored in Postgres
- Notify on-call team immediately when server uptime drops or response time degrades
- Monitor database growth and storage usage, sending alerts before capacity is reached
Requirements
- Postgres database credentials and connection details
- Active Twilio account with verified phone numbers for receiving alerts
- SQL query that identifies the monitoring conditions you want to track
