# Monitoring / Alerting

## Basic Monitoring

I'm running a monitoring service called statuscake.com to test my mastodon endpoints every 5 minutes and respond that the services are all online.

* <https://aus.social/about>
* <https://aus.social/api/v1/instance>
* <https://aus.social/api/v1/streaming/health>

These 3 endpoints should give a pretty basic amount of coverage for the internet facing Puma (FE/API) and NodeJS (Websocket Streaming) endpoints.&#x20;

I've connected statuscake up to my mobile, and get push notifications sent to my phone when one of these tests fail.

## Advanced Monitoring (metrics)

You can investigate using promethius and other dashboards to display real time and historical details from your instance.

## APM (application performance monitoring)

There are more advanced monitoring tools that offer insight into the actual application low level code.&#x20;

I'd recommend investigating the different APM (application performance monitoring) tooling.
