Systems Observability

You can use LogicLoop to monitor systems uptime. Your company may already be using tools like Sentry and Datadog for infrastructure monitoring. In addition, users have found LogicLoop useful to monitor data-driven metrics and external APIs that aren't easily captured by Sentry or Datadog. See below for some examples.
Alert when an API is down
Every 10 minutes, query an API your service relies on. The API can be an external or internal service.
If the request fails, LogicLoop will send you an email notifying you of the failure.
Monitor a drop in new user sign ups
Detect if number of signups on the website has been low.
View SQL Query
SELECT
  count(*)
FROM
  user_signups
WHERE
  created_at < interval - '60 minutes'
