WebSocket Monitor

The WebSocket monitor in updu checks whether a WebSocket endpoint properly accepts HTTP Upgrade requests, proving the WebSocket server is online and accepting client connections.

Configuration Options

When setting up a WebSocket monitor, you can configure the following options:

Basic Settings

• Name: A descriptive name for your monitor.
• Group: Optional group assignment for organizing monitors.
• Interval (seconds): How frequently updu should perform the check.
• Timeout (seconds): The maximum time updu will wait for a connection response before considering the check failed.

WebSocket Specific Settings

• WebSocket URL: The full ws:// or wss:// URL to monitor (e.g., wss://chat.example.com/socket).
• Skip TLS Verification: (Optional) Check this box if you are connecting to an internal wss:// endpoint with a self-signed or invalid certificate and want to skip validation.

Example Use Cases

• Real-time Applications: Ensure the WebSocket backend handling chat messages or live dashboard feeds is responsive.
