Add Customizable Notifications with Service Status and Ping Details in Uptime Kuma

[NEVARLeVrai]

📑 I have found these related issues/pull requests

The notification system in Uptime Kuma could be significantly improved by allowing users to:

• Customize the content of notifications based on specific service statuses (e.g., "Down," "Up," "Maintenance").
• Define custom messages for each type of service status, enabling tailored communication with users or teams.
• Configure notifications to include real-time details like ping results, providing a snapshot of the service's status without requiring access to the main panel.

Notification system

🔖 Feature description

Add the ability to customize notifications based on the type of service status (e.g., "Down," "Up," "Maintenance") and allow personalized message content for each type of status.

✔️ Solution

In my use case, I would like to:

To implement this feature, the following functionality could be added to Uptime Kuma:

Customizable Notification Templates:

• Allow users to define unique notification messages for each type of service status:
• Example for "Down": "Service is currently down. Last response time: {ping} ms."
• Example for "Up": "Service is back online. Response time: {ping} ms."
• Example for "Maintenance": "Service is in maintenance mode. Expected downtime: {time}."
• Support dynamic placeholders like {ping}, {status}, {time}, or {probe_name} to make messages more informative.

Ping Update Notifications:

• Add an option for periodic notifications that send ping results and the current service status at regular intervals (e.g., every 5 minutes).
• Example message: "Service is operational. Average ping: 42 ms over the last 5 minutes."
• Users can configure the frequency of these updates.

Notification Filters:

• Allow users to choose the types of notifications they want to receive (e.g., "only Down/Up," "include periodic updates").
• Add a toggle to enable or disable periodic ping updates independently of status-change notifications.

❓ Alternatives

Currently, Uptime Kuma's notification system is limited to sending alerts when a service goes "Down" and "Up" again. While useful, this lacks flexibility and does not provide continuous monitoring insights (e.g., periodic ping results).

💡 Example Use Case

This improvement would benefit:

• IT Teams: Quickly assess service status and latency directly from notifications without accessing the Uptime Kuma panel.
• Clients: Provide stakeholders with tailored notifications about maintenance or outages, improving transparency.
