Oh Dear Integration

Oh Dear is a tool that monitors uptime, SSL certificates, broken links, scheduled tasks, DNS and more and it will send out notifications when something's wrong. By integrating OhDear with ilert, technical alerts – such as website outages, broken links, or SSL failures – reach your on-call team instantly. Custom escalation workflows ensure swift recovery and help maintain website reliability for end users.
