Database downtime can significantly impact your Go application’s performance and user experience. It is crucial to promptly detect and address database outages to minimize disruptions and ensure the seamless functioning of your application.
Saashound, a powerful real-time event tracking tool, offers seamless monitoring for database downtime in your Go application. By integrating Saashound directly into your application, you can effortlessly track database status and receive real-time alerts when a database outage occurs.
To begin monitoring database downtime in your Go application using Saashound, follow these simple steps:
Integrating Saashound into your Go application is straightforward. Use the following code snippet to start tracking database status. Remember to replace API_TOKEN
with your actual Saashound API token and update the project name to match your project.
package main
import ( "bytes" "encoding/json" "fmt" "net/http")
func logEvent() { apiURL := "https://api.saashound.co/log-event" payload := map[string]interface{}{ "project": "my-project", "channel": "db-status", "event": "Database is Down", "description": "MongoDB is down in Germany", "icon": "🔥", "notify": true }
payloadBytes, err := json.Marshal(payload) if err != nil { fmt.Println("Error marshaling payload:", err) return }
req, err := http.NewRequest("POST", apiURL, bytes.NewReader(payloadBytes)) if err != nil { fmt.Println("Error creating request:", err) return }
req.Header.Set("Content-Type", "application/json") req.Header.Set("Authorization", "Bearer API_TOKEN")
client := http.DefaultClient resp, err := client.Do(req) if err != nil { fmt.Println("Error sending request:", err) return } defer resp.Body.Close()
if resp.StatusCode >= 200 && resp.StatusCode < 300 { fmt.Println("Log event sent successfully!") } else { fmt.Println("Failed to send log event. Response code:", resp.StatusCode) }}
func main() { logEvent()}
