Hi,

I would need to monitor UiPath status page - https://status.uipath.com/ and if there is an outage say (Degraded Performance /Partial Outage /Major Outage /Maintenance) ie, apart from Operational (green tick) , program should send a notification.

Can someone suggest the UiPath activities and Sequence.

Hello @pradeep.mathew

  • HTTP Request: GET request to https://status.uipath.com/
  • HTML Parsing (or Data Scraping): Extract status from the webpage
  • If status is “Degraded Performance” or “Partial Outage” or “Major Outage” or “Maintenance”:
    • Send Notification (e.g., email)
    • Log Notification Action
  • Else:
    • Log “No Outage Detected”

Thanks & Cheers!!!

How about subscribing to updates? You have options to get a notification via email, Slack, webhook etc.

I am specifically looking for two services . Like a start of day and end of day check before our robots starts processing.
If Success or Failure do alerts to Slack.

Hi @pradeep.mathew

You Can Use WebScraping for this…

  • Use the UiPath Web Scraping tool to extract information from the UiPath status page.
  • Identify the HTML elements that contain the status information you want to monitor.
  • Set up a UiPath workflow to regularly (e.g., every few minutes) scrape the status page to check for updates.
  • Use a “While” loop or a scheduling mechanism to run this workflow at specified intervals.
  • Compare the extracted status information with the previous status that you stored in a variable or a file from the previous run of the workflow.
  • If there is a change in status, send a notification.
  • Implement a notification mechanism to alert you when there is a status change. You can use UiPath activities to send notifications via email, Slack, or any other preferred communication tool.
  • Log the status changes and the time of each check for reference and historical tracking.

When you proceed with subscribing, you can choose the components you are interested in:
