Monitor MySQL Downtime in Your Objective-C Application

A reliable and responsive MySQL database is crucial for the smooth functioning of any Objective-C application. However, unexpected downtime can lead to service disruptions, data loss, and a negative impact on user experience. Monitoring MySQL downtime is essential to promptly detect issues, initiate recovery measures, and ensure uninterrupted access to your application’s data.

Saashound, a powerful real-time event tracking tool, provides seamless monitoring for MySQL downtime in your Objective-C application. By integrating Saashound directly into your application, you can effortlessly track MySQL database downtime in real-time and receive timely alerts whenever the database becomes unavailable.

Connecting Saashound to Your Objective-C Application

2. Create your first project from the user-friendly dashboard.
3. Access the settings and securely copy your unique API token.

Objective-C Integration

Integrating Saashound into your Objective-C application is straightforward. Use the following code snippet to start tracking MySQL downtime. Remember to replace API_TOKEN with your actual Saashound API token and update the project name to match your project.

#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>

void logEvent() {
    NSURL *apiURL = [NSURL URLWithString:@"https://api.saashound.co/log-event"];

    NSDictionary *payload = @{
        @"project": @"my-project",
        @"channel": @"database-logs",
        @"event": @"MySQL Downtime",
        @"description": @"MySQL database is currently down.",
        @"icon": @"🛢️",
        @"notify": @YES // Replace with the appropriate value
    };

    NSData *jsonData = [NSJSONSerialization dataWithJSONObject:payload options:0 error:nil];

    NSMutableURLRequest *request = [NSMutableURLRequest requestWithURL:apiURL];
    [request setHTTPMethod:@"POST"];
    [request setValue:@"application/json" forHTTPHeaderField:@"Content-Type"];
    [request setValue:@"Bearer API_TOKEN" forHTTPHeaderField:@"Authorization"];
    [request setHTTPBody:jsonData];

    NSURLSessionDataTask *task = [[NSURLSession sharedSession] dataTaskWithRequest:request completionHandler:^(NSData *data, NSURLResponse *response, NSError *error) {
        NSHTTPURLResponse *httpResponse = (NSHTTPURLResponse *)response;
        if (httpResponse.statusCode >= 200 && httpResponse.statusCode < 300) {
            NSLog(@"Log event sent successfully!");
        } else {
            NSLog(@"Failed to send log event. Response code: %ld", (long)httpResponse.statusCode);
        }
    }];

    [task resume];
}

int main(int argc, const char * argv[]) {
    @autoreleasepool {
        logEvent();
    }
    return 0;
}
