Data Import Monitoring

Data imports are often business-critical. A failed sync can have significant impacts.

MoniTao Heartbeat monitors your import scripts and measures their execution time.

Import challenges

Imports can fail for many reasons:

• Source file not available or corrupted
• Database connection error
• Timeout during large imports
• Silent failure with incomplete data

The solution: Heartbeat

MoniTao Heartbeat allows you to monitor your imports and be alerted in case of problems.

Integration example

Here is a Python example with heartbeat integration:

# Python example with heartbeat
import requests

HEARTBEAT_TOKEN = "YOUR_TOKEN"
API_SECRET = "YOUR_SECRET"
BASE_URL = "https://monitao.com/api/heartbeat"

def import_data():
    # Signal start
    requests.post(f"{BASE_URL}/start/{HEARTBEAT_TOKEN}",
                  headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {API_SECRET}"})

    try:
        # Your import logic here
        process_csv_file()

        # Signal success
        requests.post(f"{BASE_URL}/ping/{HEARTBEAT_TOKEN}",
                      headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {API_SECRET}"})
    except Exception as e:
        # Signal failure
        requests.post(f"{BASE_URL}/fail/{HEARTBEAT_TOKEN}",
                      headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {API_SECRET}"})
        raise e
