Hello @Mauricio1 welcome to the balena community!

Actually this idea is on the roadmap tool, feel free to add your comments here → [Implement webhooks/notifications/a means to be alerted of changes · Balena Roadmap](https://roadmap.balena.io/posts/10/implement-webhooks-notifications-a-means-to-be-alerted-of-changes)

on the other hand, i know that @simonkemper from @DatacakeGmbH is working on this!

Hello @Mauricio1

Yes we are actually right now working on building a container that you can put on your device and which reports stats and metrics on regular intervals to our platform where you can set alarms via E-Mail, SMS and also Webhooks.

Will post once ready.

Thanks @mpous for the ping.

@Mauricio1 i think you can try to add this service on your application → [GitHub - datacake/balena-datacake-device-monitor-service: Monitor your Balena devices on Datacake](https://github.com/datacake/balena-datacake-device-monitor-service)
