Healthchecks.io + Memtro

Is anything down, and when did the backup job last run?

Healthchecks.io connects Memtro to your cron and heartbeat monitoring, on the hosted service or your own instance. It reads one project's checks with status, last ping, next expected ping, schedule, grace period and tags, each check's history of going down and coming back up, its recent pings, and the project's integrations by name. When asked, and once an administrator has granted the action by name, it can create, change, pause, resume and permanently delete checks. A paused check raises no alerts. Keys are per project, so one connection sees one project.

In Memtro

What you can do with Healthchecks.io in Memtro

Ask in plain English from chat, your editor, a scheduled job or your own agent. The model picks the right Healthchecks.io tool, reads what it needs, and answers with the source cited.

What it does

  1. 01Lists the project's checks with name, tags, status (new, up, late, down or paused), last ping, next expected ping, schedule and grace period, with a count by status
  2. 02Reads one check's status, schedule, grace period, tags and description
  3. 03Shows each time a check went down or came back up, for this month and the two before, with how many downs there were
  4. 04Lists a check's recent pings with type, time and how long the run took, and the project's notification integrations by name and kind
  5. 05When asked and granted, creates a check, which alerts nobody unless told to use every integration, and changes a check's name, tags, schedule, grace period or integrations
  6. 06When asked and granted, pauses a check so no alerts fire while it is paused, resumes it, or deletes it permanently with its history and pings

Acts when asked

When you ask it to

These tools change something in Healthchecks.io. The model is told to use them only when you ask for exactly that, and an administrator grants each one by name to the teams that may use it; a personal connection acts only after its owner allows it.

  1. 01Create a check (it alerts nobody unless told to use every integration)
  2. 02Change a check's name, slug, tags, schedule, grace period or integrations
  3. 03Pause a check's monitoring (no alerts fire while paused)
  4. 04Resume a paused check
  5. 05Delete a check (permanent)
In practice

Ask it like you would a colleague

Once Healthchecks.io is connected, these are the kinds of things people ask. Plain questions, no syntax. If the answer lives partly in another system you have connected, Memtro looks there too.

  • Is anything down?

  • When did the nightly backup job last run?

  • How often did the billing export fail this month?

  • Which checks are paused?

  • Pause the report job check until the migration is done

01

Morning check on jobs

Tom Reilly, platform engineer at BigCo, asked whether any scheduled jobs had missed overnight. Memtro listed two checks marked down with their last ping and next expected ping, and showed the backup job had gone down twice this month.

02

Quiet during maintenance

Sarah Chen, operations lead at Acme Ltd, asked Memtro to pause the import check during a database migration. Memtro paused it in Healthchecks.io, so no alerts fired while it was paused. Afterwards she asked again and Memtro resumed it.

Teams

Where it fits

The teams that lean on Healthchecks.io most, a question each of them asks, and what they connect beside it.

Better together

Works with

A record in Healthchecks.io is rarely the whole story. Connect the systems that hold the rest and Memtro checks them together, then remembers what it learned so the next question starts further along.

Setup

How to connect

Connect withAPI key, and host for a self-hosted instance
  1. 1

    In Healthchecks.io, open the project → Settings → API Keys and create an API key. A read-only key reads checks and their history. Use the read-write key to read pings or to create, change, pause, resume or delete checks.

  2. 2

    Copy the key. Keys are per project, so one connection sees one project.

  3. 3

    In Memtro, open Connections → Healthchecks.io and paste it into API key. Fill in Host only for your own instance.

  4. 4

    Ask your first question: is anything down?

Also works from

Chat in the dashboard, the OpenAI-compatible API, scheduled jobs, and any MCP client: Claude Code, OpenCode, Cursor, Claude Desktop. The Healthchecks.io tools are the same everywhere.

FAQ

Questions

Can Memtro change anything in Healthchecks.io?+

Only when you ask, and only what it has been granted: create a check (it alerts nobody unless told to use every integration); change a check's name, slug, tags, schedule, grace period or integrations; pause a check's monitoring (no alerts fire while paused); resume a paused check; delete a check (permanent). Every other tool reads, searches or lists. The Connections page labels the tools that act, an administrator grants each one by name to the teams that may use it, and a personal connection acts only after its owner allows it.

Who can use a Healthchecks.io connection?+

A personal connection serves only your own requests. A shared connection serves the organisation: everyone, or only the teams an admin chooses. Admins can always add shared connections; other members need the permission.

Does Memtro store my Healthchecks.io data?+

Credentials are encrypted at rest. Tool results are cached briefly so agent loops do not repeat identical calls, and the facts the model extracts are saved to your organisation's memory with provenance (system, record and link) so they can be checked and superseded.

How do I connect Healthchecks.io?+

API key, and host for a self-hosted instance. In Healthchecks.io, open the project → Settings → API Keys and create an API key. A read-only key reads checks and their history. Use the read-write key to read pings or to create, change, pause, resume or delete checks.
