Hetrixtools for important services
PHP Server Monitor for everything else
Hetrix Tools for now
Uptime Kuma (self-hosted)
uptimekuma
hetrixtools
freshping
Any particular reason from switching to HetrixTools from Nixstats ??
I am looking into both options so just wondering about your switch.
HetrixTools.
Better Uptime
Hetrixtools + uptimekuma + uptimerobot
nixstats is dead, it was bought (and spinned as different product) by a big bois.

UptimeRobot (free) for traditional protocols i.e. ping and HTTPS.
My own software (hosted on NanoKVM) for routers on push-ups delivery network.
Text message from angry customers for apps they rely on.
HetrixTools
Hetrixtools
This is my favourite. It's free, with 5 second check time.
Uptime Robot for server monitoring and hetrixtools for IP Reputation monitoring .. we may switch even server monitoring to hetrix but probably some time later
I love Vincent, but Nixstats development just stalled. Looks like they're focusing on Plesk's monitoring service (Nixstats, was acquired by Plesk) if I recall correctly.
Zabbix + Prometheus = ALL
I haven't used Prometheus, does it handle notifications significantly better than Zabbix does?
Wow, I didn't notice that. I remember I was an early user of nixstats and it was a great product. I had no idea it was sold and that too to WebPros
That's a shame. They not only killed an amazing product but also spin it with a high price version will little to no improvements.
Looks like I will have to give Hetrixtool an other try. (It used to give me lots of false positive last time I tried. Hopefully it has gotten better). It's been a while though.
Site24x7 (started free, now have too many devices, so paid). Have used many over the years, stuck on this one. We used it originally for off-site customers systems in another division of the company, then swung it over to use for our own, love it.
We monitor basic uptime, but then can even monitor RAID status using custom-built scripts on most of the servers, so we get notifications of RAID degradation in real-time. Allows for notification groups, server groups, has public status page with ability for private servers, custom service status monitor for services on a server. Also monitors load, CPU, RAM usage, drive space etc.
Not just for monitoring uptime. We use to do self hosted, but I like having it offsite in another network not mine. When something shows as offline it checks from up to 4 different locations geographically.
Uptime Kuma + HetrixTools
I saw MonSpark and got it's LTD back in Dec 2022
It's pretty decent, albeit some false alarms. But the dev team is responsive and helps fix bugs and take public requests with votes.
But for production usage +1 for Hetrixtools
I'm the author of simple-ping.com
It's an entry level monitoring service designed to be easy to use on mobiles.
You can check an ipv4 address, a hostname, or do a webpage scraping for a string.
It has some false positives although very rarely at times because it checks from only one source in toronto, but you can delete a false positive from the dashboard.
It's able to send an email every minute or only on state change.
I use it to monitor 8 machines for myself.
This is the first post I write about it, I haven't created a profile page on alternativeto, g2, capterra, trustpilot yet.
If anybody wants to try it out, I would love to hear your feedback.
I am currently looking for log management and monitoring of an anycast nginx setup and JVM applications.
Does someone have experience with new relic (especially the free tier)?
Uptime kuma on my NAS
Uptime kuma @ Pikapods
We are using Hetrix Tools, Uptime Robot and Self Hosted.
Any services like Hetrixtools that has a free tier with telegram notifications?
Uptime kuma, simple and easy to use. I usually host them on a cloud server since they have high availability
HetrixTools
Switched over to Uptime Robot for now
