What CoIsland watches in Render

Each monitor kind brings its own query and its own card in the island.

How to monitor Render from an island on your Mac

Render emails the workspace when a deploy fails. A CoIsland monitor checks the services you pick on its own schedule, puts the failure in your island, and tells you when a service is suspended.

service:srv-abc123 service:srv-def456
workspace:all

Connect Render walks through the key and every monitor kind.

Connect it in three steps

  1. Create an API key under Account Settings › API Keys.

  2. Add a Render connector with the key. Test connector shows who it is and its workspaces.

  3. Pick a monitor kind or an example, choose the services or the workspace, and choose when it alerts.

Built for Render

  • Read only: it never deploys, restarts, suspends or resumes a service.
  • Workspace and service pickers filled from your Render account.
  • A failed deploy shows its status, commit, trigger and how long it ran.
  • The key stays in the macOS Keychain and goes only to api.render.com.

Then hand it to an agent

A click on the alert opens the agent in a terminal under it, with the whole alert as its first message.

Render questions

How do I get notified on my Mac when a Render deploy fails?

Add a Render connector in CoIsland, then a Failed deploys monitor on your services. Each new failed deploy opens the island with its service, status and commit.

My workspace requires two-factor authentication or SSO. Does the key work?

Yes, once your account meets the workspace's rule. Until then Render refuses the key that workspace's services, and CoIsland says so.

Can a Render API key be read-only?

No, a key acts with your role in each workspace. CoIsland only sends GET requests.
