Automate File Change Monitoring and Alert Notifications with SIGNL4
This workflow monitors a specified file for content changes and sends alerts via SIGNL4 as push notifications, SMS, or voice calls. Ideal for log-file monitoring and production data oversight.
The workflow periodically checks a specified file for changes using a cron trigger set to every hour. If changes are detected, it converts the file data from binary to JSON format, checks if the alert is new or resolved, and sends a notification through SIGNL4. The process includes marking alerts as resolved once they are addressed, ensuring efficient alert management.
