Automated Site24x7 Downtime Incident Logging

Every few minutes, WebRun checks Site24x7 for monitors reporting downtime, logs each new incident to a Google Sheet with the start time and affected monitor, emails the team an alert, and updates the same row with the recovery time once the monitor comes back up.

In short

How do I automatically log Site24x7 downtime incidents?

WebRun checks Site24x7 every few minutes for monitors reporting downtime, logging each new incident to a Google Sheet with the start time and emailing the team an alert. Once the monitor recovers, it updates the same row with the recovery time and total downtime, so there is a complete, accurate incident log without anyone updating it by hand.

  • Every incident is logged automatically with accurate start and recovery times
  • The team gets an email the moment something goes down and again when it recovers
  • A complete incident history exists without anyone updating a sheet by hand

Questions, answered

Does this replace Site24x7's own alerting?

No. It runs alongside your existing Site24x7 alert contacts. It adds a logged spreadsheet history and an email record, it does not change your monitor or alert configuration.

Will it email your customers about the downtime?

No. The alert email goes only to your internal team. WebRun never contacts your customers about an outage.

How is total downtime calculated?

From the difference between the time Site24x7 first reported the monitor down and the time it reported recovery, logged directly on the same sheet row.
