It usually starts within 30 seconds, but It is not working properly now...I have same problem.
Never worked well. Many fake downtimes. I think that is made for marketing perpose.
Gotta write my own script then or look for smth selfhosted. Tbh it should easily be doable to do a bash script which pings and if error status is xyz appends date and time to log.
Funny, about an hour ago I added a monitor and simply closed the tab. Looking at it now, it hasn't pinged.
First time I've encountered this in 6+ months of usage.
???? It's free, and it hasn't reported any "fake" downtime for my sites.
I had about 6 alerts this morning from Uptime Robot over a 2 hour period. All nonsense.
Using it over year so far zero fails reports of downtime I must be the lucky one
Mine started pinging after 2hrs, 50mins.
2 years with it and working like a charm. UptimeRobot has been white-listed in CloudFlare
I use Uptime Doctor instead since they have free 1 minute checks
Ive installed PHP Servermon now and it does its job for monitoring websites
Services/Ping does seem to not work (yet?!) however for website monitoring it is just fine :P Pm me if you want a sample account to try it out before setup^^
What do you use monitor if Uptimerobot is down?
Im using "PHP Server Monitor". My Free Hosting Service uptime is linked to it:
http://monitor.ympker.net
login: uptime
pw: uptime
See for youreself
Thanks. Now looking for something to monitor if your service is down while it monitors if uptimerobot is down.
Setup Servermon twice then :P
Might be a quick options if you want public facing: https://github.com/Munzy/ServerStatus
Then mix in another node with libreNMS and you have a full solution.
For me uptime robot always worked fine. Not sure why you guys are having troubles. How about pingdom?
I am using uptime robot since last few years and is working well for me with out any issues..
Using it to monitor multiple networks and a wealth of services. Zero false positives in over a year. I would double check your end point logs as I suspect there may be intermittent failures that you are simply not seeing due to them being so intermittent and perhaps small in number. An example might be apache prefork running out of children.
Never had a single issue or false downtime since an year.
Works flawlessly for me. I have used since inception without issue.
