Monitoring

Monitoring

The robomotion monitoring CLI provides uptime and health monitoring for websites, APIs, and services. It pings endpoints, checks HTTP status codes, measures response times, and tracks service availability.

When to use

• Check if a website or API endpoint is up and responding
• Monitor HTTP response codes and response times
• Ping services and track availability

Prerequisites

• robomotion CLI installed
• Package installed: robomotion install monitoring
• No external credentials needed for basic HTTP monitoring

IMPORTANT: Session Mode Required for Multi-Step Operations

Each CLI command runs as a separate process — connection IDs from connect do NOT persist across calls. You MUST use --session on connect and pass --session-id to all subsequent commands.

Workflow

1. Install (once): robomotion install monitoring
2. Connect with session:

   robomotion monitoring monitoring_connect --session --output json
   # → {"outClientId":"<client-id>","session_id":"<session-id>"}
   

3. Use the returned client-id and session-id in all subsequent commands:

   robomotion monitoring monitoring_check --client-id "<client-id>" --url <url> --session-id "<session-id>" --output json
   

4. Disconnect when done:

   robomotion monitoring monitoring_disconnect --client-id "<client-id>" --session-id "<session-id>" --output json
   

Always append --output json to get structured JSON results.
