chrishowe9 Posted April 28, 2016 Report Share Posted April 28, 2016 Hi everybody! What is everyone's strategy of monitoring the website? If you're using a tracker/monitor, which ones are you using? thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Web Alert for Android has been recommended and seems to work well. For iOS the one above seems a fair bet - I think most of the page monitors mentioned so far haven't really panned out for iPhone.

It's a shame I can't notify others at the same time I'll just point out that your checker missed a few page changes yesterday. (those changes weren't 'important' changes from the point of view of resales, but there were a number of changes yesterday after noon) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to be a tester Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travis Tee Posted April 29, 2016 Report Share Posted April 29, 2016 Hi sorry to ask but will someone post on here if tickets go on resale? This should alert us all shouldn't it, or is there another group doing that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siblin Posted April 29, 2016 Report Share Posted April 29, 2016 23 hours ago, eFestivals said: Yeah, I just picked up on some of those periodic changes. No other posts on here about a page change when I started to write this post. You're doing a bit more to process the page data than, tho I reckon how I'm checking is adequate ... but I wish I could filter those periodic changes (will think on that one some more). I'm going the texts route too, tho I'm having some issues with that at the moment (tho I think I know what they might be, now). Are you using AQL or some other provider? Their web gateway is pretty easy, just needs a wget request. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm using a different provider. The issues I was having with texts was due to their gateway system not liking a very minor thing with my DNS set-up as part of their own security set-up.

Need to get the wifi code at work!! How many did it miss? I can't tell you exactly without delving in the logs of my own system. It might just be because of the time cycle that you've set with your own checks. If you were checking (say) every five minutes and the various changes were all between your checks you'd only get the one alert. Your alerts are probably for the right times, but there was definitely more than just one change made for the afternoon change you detected.

siblin Posted April 29, 2016 Report Share Posted April 29, 2016 There was a bunch of stuff yesterday with them changing the tour page from "sold out" to "on sale weds 22nd". They also pulled the story about the silver hayes line-up, i think because they want to promote the "dont pee logo" campaign Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are also in desperate need of extra volunteers for the Love The Farm team. Looking for more staff to go around keeping an eye out for Pee offenders. They must have had a fair warning about it.

Tessar Posted April 29, 2016 Report Share Posted April 29, 2016 Hey donkeyradish Still can't find that app in the AppStore - I've searched using web checker with space and scrolled down but no sign of it. Don't think I'm just being blind but perfectly possible! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what it's for. I was sent an application form for team leader. You get to walk around with site security in high vis, megaphone and walkie talkie. It certainly sounds like good fun!
