Alerts and notifications

How alerts work

CyberApis sends email notifications when it detects a problem with a monitored website. The system is designed to minimize false alarms and avoid flooding your inbox.

When is an alert sent?

An alert is not sent after the first failed test. Instead:

• The system waits for several consecutive failures (default: 3) to rule out temporary issues.
• If the site is still down after these attempts — an alert is sent.
• After sending an alert, the system does not send another one on every test — a cooldown period is applied to prevent spam.

What does an alert contain?

The alert email contains all the information needed for diagnosis:

• Error type: uptime (site unreachable), content (expected text missing), sanity (suspicious content), render (visual regression).
• URL: the monitored website address.
• Timestamp: date and time the problem was detected.
• Technical details: HTTP response code, response time, expected vs found text.
• Screenshot: for render probe alerts, a screenshot showing the problem is attached.

Recovery alert

When the site comes back online, the system sends a recovery notification. This way you know not only when a problem occurred, but also how long it lasted.

Configuration

Alert email addresses are configured in the admin panel. You can add multiple addresses — alerts will be sent to all of them simultaneously.
