Uptime alerts in Telegram
Have your own Telegram bot message you, a group or a channel when a monitor goes down and when it recovers.
Set it up
- Message @BotFather in Telegram, send /newbot, follow the prompts and copy the bot token it gives you.
- Start a chat with the bot, or add it to the group or channel that should get the alerts, and send it a message.
- Open https://api.telegram.org/bot<token>/getUpdates in a browser and copy the chat id. Group ids are negative, and supergroup and channel ids start with -100.
- In OpenUptime, open Alerting, choose Add channel and pick Telegram.
- Paste the bot token and the chat id.
- Save, then press Test: a test message arrives within seconds, and the delivery log below the channels shows whether it went through.
What arrives
🔴 Checkout API is down — Expected 200, got 503
✅ Checkout API has recovered
Good to know about Telegram
- Alerts come from your bot, so you control who can see them and can remove the bot at any time.
- To post in a channel, the bot must be an administrator of it.
On every channel
- Every channel is available on every plan, Free included.
- Choose per monitor which channels it alerts, or turn a channel on for every new monitor.
- Until someone acknowledges an incident, it can repeat on the mobile app (up to 10 times, by email too if you choose) and escalate to other channels in up to 3 levels.
- A failed delivery is retried, and the delivery log shows what was sent to which channel and why anything failed.
Get Telegram alerts
Add a monitor, connect the channel and press Test. The Free plan includes every alert channel.
Questions
getUpdates returns an empty list. What now?
Send a new message to the bot or in the group after adding it, then reload the page. In groups with privacy mode on, a command such as /start addressed to the bot makes it show up.
Can several monitors share one bot?
Yes. One bot can post to many chats; add a channel in OpenUptime for each chat id and choose per monitor which ones it alerts.
Telegram 网站宕机告警
监控宕机和恢复时，让你自己的 Telegram 机器人给你、群组或频道发消息。
配置步骤
- 在 Telegram 里给 @BotFather 发消息，发送 /newbot，按提示操作，复制它给你的机器人令牌。
- 和机器人开始对话，或者把它加入要接收告警的群组或频道，并发一条消息。
- 在浏览器中打开 https://api.telegram.org/bot<token>/getUpdates，复制 chat id。群组的 id 是负数，超级群组和频道的 id 以 -100 开头。
- 在 OpenUptime 中打开“告警”，点击“添加渠道”，选择 Telegram。
- 粘贴机器人令牌和 chat id。
- 保存后点击“测试”：几秒内就会收到一条测试消息，渠道列表下方的投递记录会显示是否发送成功。
收到的内容
🔴 Checkout API is down — Expected 200, got 503
✅ Checkout API has recovered
关于 Telegram 的说明
- 告警由你自己的机器人发送，你可以控制谁能看到，也可以随时移除机器人。
- 要发到频道，机器人必须是该频道的管理员。
所有渠道通用
- 所有渠道在所有套餐中都可用，包括免费版。
- 可以为每个监控选择要通知的渠道，也可以让某个渠道默认对所有新监控开启。
- 在有人确认事件之前，告警可以在手机 App 上重复提醒（最多 10 次，也可以选择同时发邮件），并最多分 3 级升级到其他渠道。
- 投递失败会自动重试，投递记录会显示发到了哪个渠道、失败的原因是什么。
常见问题
getUpdates 返回空列表怎么办？
在加入机器人之后，再给它或在群里发一条新消息，然后刷新页面。如果群组开启了隐私模式，发一条给机器人的命令（例如 /start）就能看到。
多个监控能共用一个机器人吗？
可以。一个机器人可以发到多个聊天；为每个 chat id 在 OpenUptime 里添加一个渠道，再在每个监控上选择要通知哪些。
