Getting started

by

Prerequisites

  1. You must have an account on RapidApi.

  2. You must have a RESTful GET endpoint that BOCH can hit.

    1. The endpoint doesn't have to be completely public. Adding BOCH to an allow-list or requiring a specific header and value are options if security is a concern.

Getting Started

  1. Send an `AddWatch` request to BOCH with the fully qualified URL to your endpoint, any custom header-values you require, and a few other configuration options.

  2. That's it! You're all set up!

What's Next?

Now you can start getting health metrics by hitting the History and Summary endpoints! BOCH can be integrated into automations. You can also start looking into any of the following:

  • Manually hit History/Summary endpoints to get a feel for what and how you can automate things

  • Script something to regularly get data from the History endpoint to drive

    • Your existing alerting system

    • A dashboard for an easy, at-a-glance view of your system's health

    • Anything else!
