With just 15 lines of yaml we can configure GitHub Actions as a simple uptime monitor for a website:
name: Uptime Monitor
on:
schedule:
# Run every 10 minutes
- cron: '*/10 * * * *'
jobs:
ping_site:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
name: Uptime Check
steps:
- name: Ping Site
uses: srt32/uptime@v0.2
with:
url-to-hit: "https://devopsdirective.com/"
expected-statuses: "200"
