Argus — the watchman of the alpha console
The console’s watchman: it checks sites in a real browser every ten minutes, bots and workflows every fifteen, and writes only when something is down.
What it is
Checking whether an address responds says nothing about whether the site works. A page can honestly report that all is fine while being a blank white screen: a script failed, the data did not arrive, the build broke. A status-code check would call it healthy indefinitely.
So Argus opens the page in a real browser and looks at what a person would see: has the content appeared, is the console complaining, is the screen empty. Sites are checked every ten minutes, bots and workflows every fifteen. All the alerts are funnelled into one bot so that the same problem does not arrive twice from different directions.
Specifications: n8n workflows, a headless browser for the page checks, Telegram for the alerts. It watches over the Alfa Console and what is connected to it; the console itself is behind a password, so there are no screenshots on the showcase.
