  • Using Alerts in Grafana

    Do you mean that your service doesn't have enough traffic all the time? Then you can (and should) use synthetic clients to send requests to your endpoint. They provide both a minimal amount of traffic all day round and also can report on responses they get and improve your coverage. Example project: https://github.com/google/cloudprober

    If your service might at times fall to almost zero requests outside business hours, having a synthetic client is a must. You can use Blackbox exporter as mentioned by u/SuperQue or CloudProber, both work well for simple cases (one step site check or API call), for anything more complicated (multi step scenarios) you are better off scripting it.
