Monitors

Uptime-Kuma

Hopefully this can replace the others. Now it has its own page.

In use

Uptime Robot

https://stats.uptimerobot.com/81NqJuOD8 Monitor sites’ uptime. We have up to 50 monitors for the free plan, but I think it is lower now. Sends notifications when a site goes down. You can set it to check https, ping or http every 24 hours down to 5 mins (free plan).

StatusCake

This was being used to monitor uptime for the VPSs. It can monitor sites too. Uptime Robot allows us 50. Using this sometimes for VPS monitoring. Here is our page.

Others

Satoshihost/Uptime

Our own repo in GitHub is now deleted; there are much easier and more reliable options. Fork of Upptime. We could use this maybe; it includes hosting so no need to use a VPS. The place to turn things on and off took me ages to find. I have a bogus URL in there to test that it is working OK, but I was getting dozens of notifications from it per day, so I have archived the repo, because apparently we can unarchive it again when we want to continue development.

Freshping

This is Freshworks service. It gives 50 monitors on the free plan, up to 1 min. interval. Not used yet but may be good to have later.

Datadog

Up to 5 hosts on the free plan. This may not be much use for domain monitoring, but for monitoring the hosts, perhaps. More info should be got! https://www.datadoghq.com/pricing/

BetterUptime

10 free checks in the free plan. https://betteruptime.com/pricing

HetrixTools

15 uptime and 32 blacklist monitors for free. https://hetrixtools.com/

Self-hosted

Maybe we can use this when we have too many accounts to monitor for free.
