Regularly monitor the HTTP response of the web server
If the web server goes down, it will notify you by gmail
I wrote such a script. ** (However, I only check while the computer is running. Should I run it regularly on a PC that is running all day or on another server?) **
Other than gmail, you can use it by editing the SMTP server and port number.
It shouldn't happen that the web server is down when you notice it, but it happens occasionally. I don't have the energy or resources to introduce Zabbix, or it's a little troublesome, so this time I decided to check it regularly from my home PC. By the way, I tried to record the result in the local storage.
script
The script below sends an HTTP GET and if something goes wrong, A Python script that will notify you by email.
We have confirmed the operation on Python3.3 and Windows. If you have a Mac or a different Python version, please fix it in a timely manner.
(We are not responsible for any damage caused by executing the script, so please use it at your own risk.)

#Send an email if there is an error
if error_detected:
sendmail(result);
Execution result
Right now, I dare to make a mistake in the URL and generate an error, but if a 500 error occurs or an error occurs when executing HTTP GET, You will receive an email like this.
Batch file creation
I don't think the python script could be executed directly, so create a batch file. (Suppose the webtest.py script is located in C: \ bin.)
webtest.bat
cd C:\bin
python webtest.py
If you don't cd, you won't find webtest.py! Please note that the error will occur.
Scheduler
Try running the above script once, and if it works correctly, schedule it next. This time I decided to run it regularly with the Windows task scheduler.
Control Panel> Search by "Schedule"> Schedule Task
When the task scheduler starts, create it appropriately with "Create basic task". Keep the trigger "every day". (You can change it later in a short time) In Select Program, select the previous batch file.
Check every X minutes
Edit the trigger.
Make it background
It's noisy to get a glimpse of the command prompt every time, so hide it.
On the properties screen, type Change User or Group> SYSTEM and OK It is OK if "User account used when executing the task:" becomes "NT AUTHORITY \ SYSTEM".
