Status Page Monitoring Skill

Overview

This skill checks the status of all monitored services and alerts immediately if any monitor is showing DOWN status.

Primary method: curl + jq for accurate JSON parsing (avoids WebFetch AI summarization errors)

Supports multiple status page providers via direct API endpoints.

When to Use This Skill

• User runs /status-page-monitoring
• User asks "check status" or "are sites up?"
• User wants to know if any monitors are down
• User asks about uptime or service status

Monitoring Workflow

IMPORTANT: Do NOT read scripts or search for configuration files. This skill provides all the information you need.

Step 1: Check Monitor Status

CRITICAL: Use curl + jq for accurate results! WebFetch AI summarization is unreliable for parsing status data. Always use curl + jq to fetch and parse API endpoints directly.

Option A: curl + jq (PREFERRED - Most Accurate)

Use Bash with curl and jq to fetch raw API data and parse it directly. This avoids AI summarization errors.

UptimeRobot Example:

# Fetch and parse UptimeRobot status
curl -s "https://stats.uptimerobot.com/api/getMonitorList/Zk2EbUnM73" | jq -r '.psp.monitors[] | "\(.name): \(.statusClass)"' | sort

Status class mapping:

• success = UP
• danger = DOWN
• paused = PAUSED

Count by status:

# Count monitors by status
curl -s "https://stats.uptimerobot.com/api/getMonitorList/Zk2EbUnM73" | jq -r '
  .psp.monitors | group_by(.statusClass) |
  map({status: .[0].statusClass, count: length}) |
  .[] | "\(.status): \(.count)"'

Get DOWN monitors only:

# List only DOWN monitors
curl -s "https://stats.uptimerobot.com/api/getMonitorList/Zk2EbUnM73" | jq -r '.psp.monitors[] | select(.statusClass == "danger") | .name'
