  • I checked and didn't find similar feature request

🏷️ Feature Request Type

New Notification, New Monitor

🔖 Feature description

Allow the creation of a "follow-up" notification for sites that remain down past a configurable amount of time.

✔️ Solution

If a site has been down one minute, send an e-mail notification.

If a site has been down one hour, send a text message notification.

Alternatives

Building a separate service that tries to use the Kuma API, or to hook that up with something like IFTT or Zapier, but not finding anything obvious or easy.

📝 Additional Context

There can be a lot of noise with uptime monitoring at the 48 second level, and want to ensure we don't miss a much bigger problem within that. An additional notification, ideally on a different medium, would completely alleviate that!

It isn't so much a re-send of the notification as it is an escalation.

To meet this use case, one could also have an additional monitor that uses a non-zero retry value, and set it to use the escalation-level notification settings.

I think this is a duplicate of https://github.com/louislam/uptime-kuma/issues/1315 or maybe https://github.com/louislam/uptime-kuma/pull/2783
If you agree, could you please close this Issue, as duplicates only create immortal zombies and are really hard to issue-manage?
If not, what makes this issue unique enough to require an additional issue? (Could this be integrated into the issue linked above?) ^^

Ah yes, thanks! Sorry i did not find #1315— some more keywords for the next person: backup notifications, follow-up alerts, extra ping for extended downtime, all that is in #1315 !
