Set up email notification whenever Alteryx server goes down

Hammed — Wed, 27 Oct 2021 01:29:13 GMT

Hello everyone,

Apologies if my question is trivial, but I have been struggling with it for a while without making progress. Again, please how can I set up an email notification if a server goes down (a production server in this case).

This is of utmost importance, thanks in advance.

We use SCOM to monitor the status of AlteryxService.exe. When it stops running, it triggers an alert email to our operations center.

Thanks for your contribution, but we ended up setting email notifications with PowerShell and WindowScheduler. We went further to incorporate Teams and Slack message notifications.

Hi Team,

I am also looking for similar options, where my team has to be notified when Alteryx server is down (like when our production node is down). If anyone can share details on how they had done it, it would be very helpful for me.

A heartbeat HTML request would be preferred. You can have your favorite monitoring program monitor the heartbeat and if it takes too long or worse, doesn't come back (or a series of heartbeats doesn't come back), then notify people.
