setup-uptime-checks
About
This skill configures external uptime monitoring using Blackbox Exporter and Prometheus for customer-facing endpoints. It implements SSL certificate expiration tracking, HTTP health checks from multiple regions, and public status pages. Use it when you need to validate service availability, meet SLA reporting requirements, or provide customer-facing uptime visibility.

行
全配與板見 Extended Examples。
一:釋 Blackbox Exporter
裝 Blackbox 經 Docker 或 Kubernetes:
docker run -d \
--name blackbox-exporter \
-p 9115:9115 \
-v $(pwd)/blackbox.yml:/etc/blackbox_exporter/config.yml \
prom/blackbox-exporter:latest \
--config.file=/etc/blackbox_exporter/config.yml
Kubernetes 釋:
apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
name: blackbox-exporter
namespace: monitoring
spec:
replicas: 1
selector:
matchLabels:
app: blackbox-exporter
template:

kind: Service
metadata:
name: blackbox-exporter
namespace: monitoring
spec:
selector:
app: blackbox-exporter
ports:
- port: 9115
targetPort: 9115
得:Blackbox 行可達於 9115。
敗:察防牆規、確配卷正掛。
二:配 Blackbox 模
建 blackbox.yml 含諸探型:
modules:
http_2xx:
prober: http
timeout: 5s
http:
valid_status_codes: [200]
method: GET
follow_redirects: true
preferred_ip_protocol: "ip4"
http_2xx_auth:
prober: http
timeout: 5s
http:
valid_status_codes: [200]
method: GET
headers:
Authorization: "Bearer ${AUTH_TOKEN}"
http_json_health:
prober: http
timeout: 5s
http:
valid_status_codes: [200]
method: GET
fail_if_body_not_matches_regexp:
- '"status":"healthy"'
http_2xx_ssl:
prober: http
timeout: 5s
http:
valid_status_codes: [200]
method: GET
tls_config:
insecure_skip_verify: false
fail_if_ssl_not_present: true
tcp_connect:
prober: tcp
timeout: 5s
tcp:
preferred_ip_protocol: "ip4"
icmp:
prober: icmp
timeout: 5s
icmp:
preferred_ip_protocol: "ip4"
dns_google:
prober: dns
timeout: 5s
dns:
query_name: "google.com"
query_type: "A"
valid_rcodes:
- NOERROR
載配入 Kubernetes:
kubectl create configmap blackbox-exporter-config \
-n monitoring \
--from-file=blackbox.yml \
--dry-run=client -o yaml | kubectl apply -f -
得:諸探模配為異察型。
敗:驗 YAML。察 Blackbox 日為配誤。
三:配 Prometheus 採
加 Blackbox 標於 Prometheus 配:
scrape_configs:
- job_name: 'blackbox-exporter'
static_configs:
- targets: ['blackbox-exporter:9115']
- job_name: 'blackbox-http'
metrics_path: /probe
params:
module: [http_2xx]
static_configs:
- targets:
- https://api.company.com/health
- https://www.company.com
- https://app.company.com/login
relabel_configs:
- source_labels: [__address__]
target_label: __param_target
- source_labels: [__param_target]
target_label: instance
- target_label: __address__
replacement: blackbox-exporter:9115
- job_name: 'blackbox-ssl'
metrics_path: /probe
params:
module: [http_2xx_ssl]
static_configs:
- targets:
- https://api.company.com
- https://www.company.com
relabel_configs:
- source_labels: [__address__]
target_label: __param_target
- source_labels: [__param_target]
target_label: instance
- target_label: __address__
replacement: blackbox-exporter:9115
- job_name: 'blackbox-tcp'
metrics_path: /probe
params:
module: [tcp_connect]
static_configs:
- targets:
- postgres.internal:5432
- redis.internal:6379
relabel_configs:
- source_labels: [__address__]
target_label: __param_target
- source_labels: [__param_target]
target_label: instance
- target_label: __address__
replacement: blackbox-exporter:9115
重載 Prometheus:
docker exec prometheus kill -HUP 1
kubectl rollout restart deployment/prometheus -n monitoring
得:Prometheus 採 Blackbox、指見於 Prometheus UI。
敗:察 Prometheus 日為採誤。驗 Blackbox 可達。
四:建運期警
定警則:
groups:
- name: uptime
interval: 30s
rules:
- alert: EndpointDown
expr: probe_success == 0
for: 2m
labels:
severity: critical
annotations:
summary: "Endpoint {{ $labels.instance }} is down"
description: "{{ $labels.instance }} has been unreachable for 2 minutes."
- alert: SSLCertificateExpiringSoon
expr: (probe_ssl_earliest_cert_expiry - time()) / 86400 < 14
for: 1h
labels:
severity: warning
annotations:
summary: "SSL certificate for {{ $labels.instance }} expires in {{ $value | humanizeDuration }}"
description: "Certificate expires on {{ $labels.instance }}. Renew soon."
- alert: SSLCertificateExpired
expr: (probe_ssl_earliest_cert_expiry - time()) < 0
for: 5m
labels:
severity: critical
annotations:
summary: "SSL certificate for {{ $labels.instance }} has EXPIRED"
description: "URGENT: Certificate expired. Service may be inaccessible."
- alert: SlowResponseTime
expr: probe_http_duration_seconds > 3
for: 5m
labels:
severity: warning
annotations:
summary: "Slow response from {{ $labels.instance }}"
description: "HTTP request took {{ $value }}s (threshold: 3s)."
- alert: HTTPStatusNot200
expr: probe_http_status_code != 200
for: 2m
labels:
severity: warning
annotations:
summary: "HTTP {{ $labels.instance }} returned {{ $value }}"
description: "Expected 200, got {{ $value }}."
載入 Prometheus:
rule_files:
- /etc/prometheus/uptime-alerts.yml
docker exec prometheus kill -HUP 1
得:警於端不可達或 SSL 期時跳。
敗:察 Prometheus 警頁為則評誤。
五:建運期儀板
建 Grafana 儀板:
{
"dashboard": {
"title": "Uptime Monitoring",
"panels": [
{
"title": "Endpoint Availability (7 days)",
# ... (see EXAMPLES.md for complete configuration)
得:儀板示運期 %、SSL 期、應時。
敗:察 Grafana Prometheus 源、驗指採。
六:設態頁
選甲:用 Statuspage.io(SaaS):
curl -X POST https://api.statuspage.io/v1/pages/PAGE_ID/incidents \
-H "Authorization: OAuth YOUR_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"incident": {
"name": "API Degradation",
"status": "investigating",
"impact_override": "minor",
"body": "We are investigating elevated error rates on the API."
}
}'
選乙:自託 Cachet:
version: '3'
services:
cachet:
image: cachethq/docker:latest
ports:
# ... (see EXAMPLES.md for complete configuration)
選丙:自態頁自 Prometheus 指:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Company Status</title>
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/axios/dist/axios.min.js"></script>
# ... (see EXAMPLES.md for complete configuration)
得:公態頁示當服態與事故。
敗:確態頁 URL 為客可達、非 VPN 後。
驗
- Blackbox 釋可達
- Prometheus 採 Blackbox 指
- 諸關端配運期察
- SSL 期警配(14 日警)
- 警測(模端死、查警跳)
- Grafana 儀板示運期與 SSL 期
- 態頁客可達
- 警通達待命工
忌
- 僅內察:叢內 Blackbox 不能察外 DNS/路問題。多雲/域釋探
- 採過頻:每 10 秒察生負。30-60s 常足
- 無 SSL 察:期證為窘可防。恆察
- 態頁不自動:事故時手更費時。自 Prometheus 警自動
- 假陽:單敗察不宜警。用
