Hi there !
New user here, so far very happy of what I can see, this is very good work ! š
To keep track of alerts, Iād like to customize the HTTP notification plugin for [CloudRadar](https://www.cloudradar.io/).
Unfortunately, I know nothing about GO models. I have read the documentation, but the syntax seems too obscure for me. ā¹
How could I format the alert to match [CloudRadar requirements](https://docs.cloudradar.io/configuring-hosts/managing-checks/custom-checks#sending-data-using-a-script) ?
As I understand, each entry has to be prefixed with the name of the Cloudradar āprobeā ā¦(i.e. ā`crowdsec.scenario: crowdsecurity/http-bad-user-agent`ā).
Any help welcome !
Cheers,
---

Hi
It looks like no one here is able to help. And I canāt get devs to help out on issues not directly related to CrowdSec. So instead I would suggest that you join our (thriving) Discord and ask there if anybody from the community there wants to help out. The invite link is [here](https://discord.gg/wGN7ShmEE8).
Thanks!

Hi,
Thanks for your kind answer, Iāll go to Discord š

Hi,
i have tried cloudradar.
I found one of their own rule for service monitoring to be faulty.
After 2 tickets, the answer was ( quote from email, anyone want to check the mail is welcome to ask in private ):
> Dear customer,
>
> If you are sure itās that trivial, you are welcome to fix it.
>
> The source code is here, anyone can submit changes.

> [GitHub - cloudradar-monitoring/cagent: Open Source cross-platform monitoring agent](https://github.com/cloudradar-monitoring/cagent)
>
> I suggested you a solution that helps you to achieve your goal immediately.

> Of course, your bug report is stored in our backlog, and we will look at it. But I cannot promise a date when it will be fixed.
You are welcome to fix our own product, while paying, while not been supported, while we make money screwing you up.
I would have try to help/fix it, but this is a paying service, taking advantage of open-source community. Shame on those company who even donāt deliver the minimum support service on their own rules
Well, cloudradar, no thank youā¦
For the same pricing, i have my own virtual server with my own monitoring server.

Hi, and thanks for sharing your feedback! š
In fact, I gave up with CloudRadar for anything else except very basic monitoring (ping, TCP checks).

If you really need to monitor your services/servers, you can rent a vserver running 24/7 on a secure hosting location ( mine cost me 12 euros a year ) and set up your own monitoring service using for example Nagios ( as i do )ā¦
It will cost you the same thing as using cloudradar.
You will not pay a shamefull paying service like them.
You will have a reliable fine-tune monitoring service, and additional options and services of your own making if needed ( a mail server like me )
You will sharpen your skills learning how-to use Nagios ( or else ).

Thanks for the advice!
Seems like CloudRadar is not very popular here ā¦
Iāve been working for years with a Nagios and thousands of hosts, so Iāll better find an alternative š
@stratege1401 would you please share your hosting provider?

Hey ! Hi.
About cloudradar, i just donāt like the way they handle my requestā¦
Paying a service, discovering a bug in their own rules, and after 2 tickets and almost 10 days iāve been told to fix it myselfā¦ See my point.
Itās dishonest and unprofessionalā¦
Concerning vserver/vhost providers:
Usually, when i need the cheapest fully manageable vhost/server i look for the following option:
- root access
- ssh access
I usually goes to OVH or 1&1ā¦but i am sure you can find other low cost vserver.
My vserver usage is low, itās a Debian based system, running iredmail (the free version) and nagios. I choose a 1&1 VPS S for 1.20 euro/month All taxes included.
