    Hi Linh Le

    The most reliable way to do it - use external ping service. Like https://pingdom.com

    You can specify email for getting emails when the exception occurs on the site, but it's not down, when everything is down you will not get an email :)

    Thanks,

    Alex

    Hi Alex

    Do you know if there is there a way of hooking into the customErrors in order to trigger an email to be sent?

    The problem with a service like pingdom is that it doesn't cover all node urls.

    Thanks, Phil

    Hi Linh,

    I have been able to achieve this my extending log4net, which Umbraco using as its logging framework.

    Add the following to your log4net configuration file:

    <appender name="SmtpAppender" type="log4net.Appender.SmtpAppender">
    <to value="TO EMAIL ADDRESS" />
    <from value=”FROM EMAIL ADDRESS" />
    <subject value="Test Logging Message" />
    <smtpHost value="localhost" />
    <bufferSize value="512" />
    <lossy value="true" />
    <evaluator type="log4net.Core.LevelEvaluator">
        <threshold value="ERROR"/>
    </evaluator>
    <layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout">
    <conversionPattern value="%newline%date [%thread] %-5level %logger [%property{NDC}] - %message%newline%newline%newline" />
</layout>

    Then add the following appender-ref element to the root section of the log4net config file:

    <appender-ref ref="SmtpAppender" />

    Hope this helps anyone who is interested!
