Self Hosted Runnes: Get a notification when the status of the self hosted runner changes to OFFLINE

Question

I am unable to figure out how to configure the bitbucket cloud to get a notification whenever the status of the "self.hosted" runner changes to offline.

Can anyone provide a quick and dirty way inside the bitbucket cloud to get this notification enabled?

Hi @skaul

Unfortunately, there is no quick solution to this. However, there might be an unconventional approach.

You may want to explore a third-party add-on called Dashboard Hub for Bitbucket - DevOps Insights & Charts.

After installation, you can create your own dashboard and include a "Pipeline History" or "Hall of Shame" dashboard for the repositories you want to monitor.

If a pipeline fails due to an offline runner it can be reflected on the dashboard.

Please note, this is a third-party application which is neither owned nor supported by Atlassian. For any suggestions or issues with this add-on, you can contact their support team.

We have an open feature request to implement this type of alert on Bitbucket Cloud - Provide an option to send an email alert when a runner goes offline.

I encourage you to vote on the feature request ticket to increase its popularity and add yourself as a watcher to stay updated on its progress.
