Monitor Website Uptime using GitHub Actions

Create your own website monitor in seconds!

Step 1

Create a new repository, I’ll name it piyushmehta.com

Step 2

Create a directory named and workflows inside it .github/workflows

Step 3

Create a file with any name, I’ll name is uptime-monitor.yml

Step 4

Write the following in uptime-monitor.yaml

name: Uptime Monitor

on:
  schedule:
    # Run every hour, You can choose your custom time
    - cron: '*/60 *  * * *'

jobs:
  ping_site:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    name: Uptime Check
    steps:
      - name: Ping Site
        uses: srt32/uptime@v0.2
        with:
          url-to-hit: 'https://piyushmehta.com/' # Website whose uptime you want to track
          expected-statuses: '200'

Whenever your website is down, you’ll get a notification from GitHub.
