Question: Best Practices for Configuring Health Checks on DB Backups

[n8creator]

Hey there! I'm looking to set up automatic database backups on S3 for my applications (I have several of them), and I want to implement health checks to monitor if the database is being backed up according to the schedule. Typically, I make an HTTP GET request to an external service, like so:

curl -m 10 --retry 5 https://hc-ping.com/your-uuid-here

What would be the best way to trigger these calls after the backup-schedule command being executed, such as:

dokku postgres:backup-schedule lollipop "0 3 * * *" my-s3-bucket

Any suggestions or best practices would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance for any help.

There isn't a way to do what you're asking here unfortunately.

Ok, thanks for quick answer!

I'm going to reopen this. It's a good suggestion, just not sure how we can implement it.
