How do I get alerted when a Neo4j Aura instance goes down?
WebRun checks every Neo4j Aura database instance every few minutes, logs the status to a running health history in Google Drive, and texts the on-call engineer through Twilio the instant an instance goes down or degrades. Data teams running Aura in production get a near real time down alert without watching a dashboard.
- A down instance gets a text within minutes, not at the next dashboard check
- A running status history builds up automatically in Google Drive
- Only real status changes trigger a text, not every healthy check

How is each run configured?
Secure by default
Connect once, stays signed in
WebRun signs in once and keeps each session in a persistent environment, so every run picks up right where it left off.
Every action is checked against this policy before it runs.
Questions, answered
Does WebRun restart or resize the instance?
No. It only reads instance status from the Aura console. Restarting, resizing, or any change to the instance stays a manual action for the engineer.
Will I get spammed with texts?
No. A text only goes out on a status change to down or degraded, not on every routine check that comes back healthy.
How far back does the health history go?
As far back as the Google Drive log has rows. Every check appends a new entry, so the full history stays in one place.
