Hey all, For context, I am self-hosting a lot of different applications on a headless server and some of them are just scripts scraping content or doing automatic tasks.
I’ve been wondering for some time about how I should handle errors and how to be notified when they happen.
Currently, I need to connect to the server and read my logs to know that something has gone wrong. But I would like to get near instant notifications on my phone or computer.
I know I could send emails, try to use signal-cli or other messaging services but some of you might have better ideas.
Should I use one of these or is there some great technology I have never heard of?
Prometheus has alerting and that’s really the preferred system for sending the alerts, IMO.
