Fly app alerts when app changes state

Hey everyone,

We had a problem with our app on Fly.io. It went to a ‘dead’ state on Feb 4th, and we didn’t get any alerts. At the same time, Fly.io reverted our app to a previous version. We’re checking if our app going down caused the reversion or if it was the other way around.

Anyone had the same problem with Fly.io? How do you guys get alerted when your app goes down?

Thanks!

Hi @luveshs

We use Grafana Cloud for metrics and alerts, it can monitor your app externally by performing HTTP requests or pings. This is useful as sees the same thing a user visiting your website would see meaning you’re less likely to miss issues where there are gaps in your internal monitoring.

Thanks for the suggestion @charsleysa , I was also wondering if fly.io provides notifications for changes in state?
