Monitor when a user exceeds the usage limit for your Go service

Managing resource usage is essential to ensure the smooth operation and optimal performance of your Go service. Setting usage limits helps maintain fair usage of resources and prevents abuse. Monitoring when a user exceeds the usage limit is crucial to identify potential performance bottlenecks, ensure resource availability, and provide a seamless user experience.

Saashound, a powerful real-time event tracking tool, offers seamless monitoring for exceeding usage limits in your Go service. By integrating Saashound directly into your application, you can effortlessly track when users surpass the usage limits in real-time and receive immediate alerts when usage limits are exceeded.

Connecting Saashound to Your Go Service

To begin monitoring exceeding usage limits in your Go service using Saashound, follow these simple steps:

1. Sign up for a free Saashound account to start tracking your application’s events.
2. Create your first project from the user-friendly dashboard.
3. Access the settings and securely copy your unique API token.

Go Integration

Integrating Saashound into your Go service is straightforward. Use the following code snippet to start tracking exceeding usage limits. 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":     "user-activity",
    "event":       "User Usage Limit Reached",
    "description": "User ID 12345 has reached their usage limit.",
    "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()
}
