• This is example code provided by Uptime Cloud Monitor for our customers who are using Webhooks.
• This ruby code:
• • runs sinatra on thin;
• • it completely parses and decodes all Uptime Cloud Monitor webhook system and probe alerts;
• • each alert type is broken-down to an individual method, which prints a message to

• • these individual methods can be modified to execute code to restart your server,

• scale your number of servers, or whatever else you choose to do.
