Template

HEARTBEAT.md
Every 5 minutes:
1. For each API endpoint in your watchlist:
   a. Make a GET or HEAD request
   b. Record: status code, response time (ms), response body (first 200 chars)
2. Alert conditions:
   - Status != 200: immediate alert
   - Response time > 2000ms: "Slow: {endpoint} took {time}ms"
   - Response time > 5000ms: "Critical latency: {endpoint}"
3. Track rolling averages (15-min, 1-hour, 24-hour)
4. If error rate > 5% in a 15-min window: escalate alert
5. Daily: performance report with p50, p95, p99 latencies per endpoint
6. On recovery, send "API healthy again: {endpoint}, was down {duration}"
