My best guess is that someone migrated DNS providers (or some engineer playing with infrastructure as code…) and it’s just an unintentional missing DNS record, oops.

To @dang or whoever is reading at Algolia: you can set up continuous monitoring for problems at the DNS/TCP/TLS/HTTP layers from just your URL at https://heiioncall.com/ https://heiioncall.com/ and we’d definitely alert you if the DNS record disappears or it’s otherwise unreachable for more than X minutes. (Email me if you need help getting it set up.)
- bauruine 3y agoAny chance you are going to implement non http(s) Outbound probes? Not everything is http so a generic TCP connection check would be great. edit: Is it possible to add services in an automated fashion with an API?
- compumike 3y agoHmm, both are "possible but not implemented yet". The engineering approach that some of our users do is running their own custom monitoring script (checking TCP connections, checking against a dynamic list) on their own infrastructure, and then just use Heii On-Call to monitor (via Inbound Liveness heartbeats / checkins) and alert on (via Manual trigger type) that custom monitoring script. Feel free to email us at support-at-domain so we can try to understand the use case better.
