Add an EndpointMonitor#

This guide shows you how to enable external uptime monitoring for your application using the Stakater Application Helm Chart.

How it works#

The chart reads the Route or Ingress already declared in your values.yaml, generates a matching EndpointMonitor resource, and ships it through GitOps. IMC reconciles the resource into UptimeRobot and external probing starts within a couple of minutes — no API keys, no manual UptimeRobot setup.

What you do#

Enable endpointMonitor in your application's values.yaml:

endpointMonitor:
  enabled: true

To force a secure connection or override the monitor name, extend the same block:

endpointMonitor:
  enabled: true
  forceHttps: true
  name: my-app-frontend

See the chart's endpointmonitor.yaml template for the full set of supported fields.

Next step#
