Sending check-in events to AppSignal
In order to receive events for your AppSignal Check-ins, you must configure your application to send check-in events to AppSignal.
AppSignal integrations
If your application is already using an AppSignal integration library, such as our Ruby gem or our Elixir, Node.js and Python packages, you can use the provided helper methods to send check-in events.
Follow the instructions in the integration check-in helpers documentation for your integration.
Process monitoring
If the application you wish to send check-ins from is not using an AppSignal integration library, for example, if you wish to send cron check-ins when a process starts or finishes, or heartbeat check-ins while a process runs, you can send check-in events using our process monitoring tool:
Learn more about how to use appsignal-run
to send check-ins to AppSignal in our Process Monitoring documentation.
HTTP API
You can also send check-ins from any application using our HTTP API. Follow the instructions in the check-in events API documentation.
