Hi all! I’ve been looking for a selfhosted system that can monitor one or more email accounts and check if a certain email with a particular subject arrives every day (or every x hours) and alert me if it doesn’t (or if the subject is different). I need this to check if backups from different PC have run or not. The best thing would be to integrate it with Uptime Kuma. Any idea? Thanks!

Edit: I’m switching all my backup software to Restic (Autorestic on Linux machines) so I can send a ping to Uptime Kuma when every single backup successfully ends.

    Does it have to be by monitoring emails or do you have control over the backup script? I’m using Uptime Kuma to monitor my backups via push monitors. My backup scripts call a webhook to indicate success or failure. If the webhook isn’t called for X hours, the backup is also marked as failed. Works really well.
