Today I’m asking for features left and right!!

The day before yesterday I woke up and my button to open my roller shutter had no effect ☹  
After going to check over SSH what was going on (`docker ps -a`) I saw that my z2m container had been stopped for several hours.  
I have no idea why (Gladys update?).

I was wondering if it would be possible to be notified, either in the dashboard / or via a scene with a Telegram message, that one of the containers is OFF.

What do you think?

Try looking on the Node-RED side, it should be doable!

Zigbee2MQTT is independent of Gladys, and so are the updates. And I can confirm there was a recent one for Z2M.

Hello,

Indeed, Node-RED can solve your problem. For example, you can run a curl against Gladys and verify that it responds with a valid HTTP response (e.g., 200)

Okay, I’ll take a closer look, thanks for the advice!

You’re speaking Chinese to me, but if I’m not any dumber than anyone else I should be able to find it with this curl 👌😁

I’ll make it simpler 😃 curl is just a command that lets you request a web page (like your browser does). The difference is that it’s all command-line. So you can get the status of the request (whether it worked or not) typically you’ve already seen 404 Not Found (that’s an HTTP response). Usually on a GET (simply retrieving a page) you get a 200 code 🙂

But yes on Node-RED you have very simple things like you can probably use (http\_requests)

Thank you very much for those clarifications @damalgos !

Hi @guim31!

You can be notified when a container stops.

Two integrations from the catalog expose the status of containers, usable in a scene:

- **Docker** (PhilippeMA, v2.0.0), if Gladys talks directly to the Docker engine
- **Portainer** , if you already go through Portainer

The status (running or stopped) becomes a device. A scene of the type « if Zigbee2MQTT is stopped → send a message » covers the wake-up without a shutter.

I’m filing this topic under « Delivered Requests ». If there’s still a case that doesn’t fit, open a new topic: it will be easier to follow.
