monitoring POST requests from HttpClients c#-CodePudding

I have created a WEB API that receives POSTs from HttpClients as JSON messages(ID,Name). My target is to check if my remote computers are alive, so the Httpclient sends a POST message every 24 hours to the server. So far I have managed to save all the messages from the remote clients to a text file.

So, my question is, what is the best way to track all the messages and know which client didn't post for the last 48 hours?

Thank you,

Shay.

I use PostAsJsonAsync method to send json
"X-Version: 1"
This is what I have done so far

using (var client = new HttpClient()) {
    client.BaseAddress = new Uri("https://api.clickatell.com/");
    client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Accept.Clear();
    client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Authorization = new AuthenticationHeaderValue("Bearer", "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx");
    client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Accept.Add(new MediaTypeWithQualityHeaderValue("application/json"));
    var response = client.PostAsJsonAsync("rest/message", svm).Result;
}

Well, jou need to cron a task that does just the contrary you do when you received the post from the remote computer.

Open the file, read it and check against the list of computers (that I suppose you have in ANOTHER text file)

so use a stream reader, and parse the content of each line you read...

After this is done rename the file :P
