Do the tools provide APIs you can listen to? If not, using a "website change detection" service could work, if it allows for logged-in sessions.

Yes, they do. I could build a solution myself but I really hoped for an existing one.
Something like https://chartbrew.com or other graph-generating platforms?
That seems interesting. - Thank you so much! But there's no tool to keep track of updates and notify me about any abnormal change. e.g.: sudden drop in website traffic. I'd have to build this myself, right?

As I mentioned, there are services that notify you of changes, you can define what those changes are (number increases by X, etc.).

It's very hard to define what abnormal is, maybe you run an ad campaign, then your traffic will spike up, which is expected.

Hey thank you! Yes, you're right. And that'd be what I hoped for. Being able to detect certain spikes/drops so I can start investing as soon as they happen.

But setting those limits manually seems like an option. This should be possible using chartbrew, correct? I didn't find anything anything in the documentation, but I will look into it more deeply tomorrow.

Thank you so much for your help

Hey! Chartbrew creator here

Although the platform updates the data automatically for you, it doesn't support notifications yet. Notifications are planned for Q2 this year. I think for system monitoring, Grafana might be a better choice currently.

If you give Chartbrew a try, don't hesitate to get in touch if you have any questions. I'd be happy to help!
