Monitor SendGrid with PULSX

Why Monitor SendGrid?

Monitor SendGrid webhook endpoints and email delivery status. When your SendGrid integration goes down, it can affect your entire application. Proactive monitoring helps you catch issues before they impact your users.

Key Endpoints to Monitor

Based on typical SendGrid integrations, here are the most important endpoints to monitor:

• /api/webhooks/sendgrid
• /api/webhooks/sendgrid/inbound
• /api/email/send

Your specific endpoints may vary depending on how you've integrated SendGrid with your application.

Monitoring Best Practices

Follow these tips to get the most out of your SendGrid monitoring:

• Monitor event webhook endpoints for email status
• Track inbound parse webhook for receiving emails
• Check email API endpoint availability
• Monitor bounce and complaint webhook handlers
• Set up alerts for email delivery confirmation pages

Setting Up Monitoring in PULSX

Getting started with SendGrid monitoring in PULSX is straightforward:

1. Add a new HTTP monitor - Enter your SendGrid endpoint URL
2. Configure check interval - We recommend 60-second checks for critical endpoints
3. Set expected response codes - Usually 200-299 for healthy endpoints
4. Configure alerts - Set up email, Slack, or webhook notifications
5. Add to status page - Optionally include in your public status page

Alert Configuration

For SendGrid integrations, we recommend:

• 60-second check intervals - Catch issues quickly
• Alert after 2 consecutive failures - Reduce false positives
• Multi-region monitoring - Distinguish between your issues and SendGrid's issues
• SSL certificate monitoring - Get alerts before certificates expire

Troubleshooting Common Issues

If you're seeing alerts for your SendGrid integration:

• Check SendGrid's status page - The issue may be on their end
• Verify your credentials - API keys or OAuth tokens may have expired
• Check rate limits - You may be hitting SendGrid's rate limits
• Review webhook configuration - Ensure endpoints are correctly configured in SendGrid
