Notifications and events

The package notifies you if certain events take place when running checks on your server. You can specify which channels the notifications for certain events should be sent in the config file. If you don't want any notifications for a particular event, just pass an empty array. Out of the box slack and mail are supported. If you want to use another channel or modify the notifications, read the section on customizing notifications.

Throttling notifications

To avoid to burying you in notifications when a check fails or emits a warning, we throttle notifications for such events.

By default we only send you one notification an hour per warning or failure per check. When a check succeeds again we'll notify you as soon as possible.

In the config file your can customize the throttling behaviour by passing a differente value to throttle_failing_notifications_for_minutes.
