Batch — report crit batch

Download status-crit.cmd

Sends a self-reported crit. Use for hard failures (service down, backup didn't run, disk full). Wakes everyone subscribed to crit alerts.

Placeholders only. Before running, replace YOUR_URL with your capture endpoint's POST URL . (Open this page from your capture object to have these auto-filled.)

@echo off
REM status-crit.cmd — tell site1.erralert.com something is broken.
REM Customise the SUMMARY value to describe what failed.
set "SUMMARY=backup script failed at last run"
curl --silent --show-error --max-time 15 -X POST ^
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" ^
  --data-raw "{\"hostname\": \"%COMPUTERNAME%\", \"summary\": \"%SUMMARY%\"}" ^
  "YOUR_URL/crit"

Recommended pairing

Add a capture.severity check to this capture object.
capture.severity reads this and fires a crit-level alert via every channel subscribed to crit (incl. SMS if configured).

What is the filename?

status-crit.cmd — this is the suggested name for the downloaded file. Rename freely if you prefer.
