can I use this app to create my own server monitoring tool

[dlewis61]

I have several websites. I'd like to create my own server monitoring tool. I have a copy of Robotask. Can I do that? So the output is sent to me via email or text?

See the example below.
This task retrieves the text of webpage and assign it to variable.
Next, you can see it, put it into email, save to file, analyse it, and so on.
If you want to start the task automatically you can attach some trigger to the task (for example Cyclic event)
If you use the address of inaccessible site you will get the text with error message.

Of course you can monitor the list of sites in the loop. (see Text loop for this purpose)

Code: Select all
